No, we do not accept insurance reimbursement for several reasons. However, we can provide clients with a special invoice called a “Superbill” which has all the relevant information and is accepted by virtually all insurance companies (although they may deny the coverage).Because we take self-pay clients only, we can keep costs down and provide services that are more discrete, confidential, and private because they do not require storing or sharing information with third parties and national databases.

Online video sessions work pretty much the same as regular face-to-face sessions. However, you are sitting in the comfort of your own home or office while your provider is sitting in the comfort of their own office. Just like one-on-one, face-to-face sessions, there is a getting to know you stage which may include becoming familiar with the technology. Within a session or two, you should start to feel almost as connected as if you were in the same room together. Research is coming out since the lock-downs that suggests in-person sessions have the edge in that some elements of communication may be lost in a video conference. Overall, those who use video calls to seek counseling and coaching are very happy with the tradeoffs such as not having to travel, saving time, etc.
It is important to have a webcam and a good internet connection such as high-speed broadband internet. If that is not possible, then telephone sessions are the next best thing. Our TeleMedicine software is very versatile allowing us to share our screen, make presentations, conduct small groups, do couples counseling online, meet with family members in different locations, and share whiteboards, presentations, documents, etc. We can use these technologies to train families who are spread out at various locations across the country on such topics as how to do an intervention with a loved one. The opportunities and possibilities are unlimited.
