Why shouldn’t I just take medication?

Sometimes medication is needed and most successfully in conjunction with therapy. Medication can be an option integrated with optimizing nutrient deficiencies or incorporating western practices like aromatherapy, herbal and plant based medicines. Our work together is designed to explore several options to help you accomplish your personal goals.

I’ve never talked to anyone. I’m used to handling things on my own. Aren’t people who go to therapy weak?

Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the courage to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. In our work together, I’ll help you explore and identify your strengths and how to implement them to reduce the influence of the problems you are facing.

What’s the difference between talking to you or my best friend or family?

The difference is between someone who can do something, and someone who has the training and experience to do that same thing professionally. A mental health professional can help you approach your situation in a new way– teach you new skills, gain different perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself. Furthermore, counseling is completely confidential. You won’t have to worry about others “knowing my business.” Lastly, if your situation provokes a great deal of negative emotion, and you’ve been confiding in a friend or family member, there is the risk that once you are feeling better you could start avoiding that person so you aren’t reminded of this difficult time in your life.

How long will it take?

Everyone’s circumstances are unique and the length of time to accomplish your goals depends on your desire, your commitment, and the factors that are driving you. 

Superbills

What is a superbill?

A superbill is a document for insurance companies that details the services a healthcare provider performs for a client. Essentially, it's a receipt for a client's visit. However, unlike traditional receipts, superbills contain vital information, like diagnosis and procedure codes, required by insurance companies to reimburse the client for the services after they've paid. They're different from standard medical bills in that insurers use them to reimburse patients rather than pay providers. 

Why is a superbill needed?

Superbills are needed for out-of-network billing. Superbills detail services received from a provider who is not within a client's insurance network. 

How is a superbill used?

To get a superbill reimbursed, you must to file an out-of-network claim with your insurer. The insurer will review the superbill and reimburse all, a portion, or none of the services outlined in the claim depending on their assessment. 

When is a superbill provided?

A superbill is typically provided to a client after they've paid for their care out-of-pocket (cash pay).
