This amount can be paid at the time of each session or at the end of the month when the billing statement is received. Please call to discuss your individual needs regarding payment. Insurance, Medicaid and private pay clients are accepted. It may be helpful to contact your insurance company regarding your coverage for outpatient therapy prior to your first appointment.
