Contacting a therapist for the first time can feel like a big step. There's no pressure here, and no expectation that you have the right words yet. This is meant to be a calm first move, not a commitment.
Thank you for contacting us.
We’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Insurance Information
We're in-network with Anthem/BCBS, Aetna, Sentara, and UHC commercial plans, and we also welcome self-pay clients who prefer that route or whose plan isn't listed here. Extended sessions and intensives are self-pay only, since insurance rarely fits those longer formats well, and we provide a superbill so you can pursue out-of-network reimbursement if your plan allows it.
We'd recommend contacting your insurance directly to verify your specific benefits, copay, and deductible before your first appointment, since coverage details can vary quite a bit between individual plans.

Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You Have The Right
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of non-emergency services, including medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Get an Estimate
Request a written Good Faith Estimate from your health care provider at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask any provider for a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling.
You Can Dispute
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Whether you have questions about fees, fit, or what to expect, we're happy to talk it through before you decide anything. A free 15-minute consultation is always the first step, with no pressure attached.
