Most insurance companies do cover the cost of mental health outpatient office visits.

Questions to ask your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:

• Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits.

• Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?

• Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?

• Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?

• Do I have a copay or co-insurance to be paid every visit? If so, what is it?

Our therapists may offer a rate to meet your individual needs.

You always have a choice of which therapist you would like to see. Our support staff can help guide you in this decision if needed.

Therapy sessions are approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. This time is set aside for you and cannot be used by another client with short notice. There will be a charge of $75 for a cancellation less than 24 hours before a scheduled appointment or for a no-show appointment. Insurance cannot be billed for any appointments for which you are not present. Please note, if you miss two (2) sessions without giving 24-hours notice you may be discharged from services.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in understanding how medications for mood disorders interact with the body and other medications you may be taking. Psychologists and therapists, on the other hand, specialize in understanding mental health. They provide counseling. However, they do not prescribe medication. Psychologists and therapists have received at least a master’s level degree in therapeutic interventions to manage a variety of psychological symptoms. All of our therapists are licensed by the state of Pennsylvania.
