although most plans require some participation from the client. We recommend that you check with your insurance company about coverage. We are also able to assist you in finding out this information.

It is important that you are comfortable working with your therapist. Many clients have been referred to a particular therapist and will choose to work with that person. For anyone calling the clinic without such a recommendation, a therapist will talk with you to determine your, needs, the areas of expertise you are seeking, your preference for gender of the therapist, times available for appointments, insurance issues, and any other concerns. They will then suggest therapists that would seem to be the best match for you.
uncomfortable with my therapist?
We understand that it is not possible for a therapist to be able to work with every client because each therapist has their unique style. Therefore, if you do find that you would like a change, we encourage you to talk with your therapist or one of the clinic directors about this as soon as possible. We will assist you in finding a therapist with whom you feel more comfortable.
Depending upon how urgent your needs are, we can usually set up an initial appointment within one week. Sometimes, a particular therapist or a specific time is not as available. We will work with you to find your best options.
While we recommend medications in some situations, we do not
prescribe medications from our office. You would need to see your
personal physician or a psychiatrist for a prescription.
