Rate adjustments:
From time to time, we are able to provide our services at a reduced fee. Sliding-scale openings are based on patient need and clinician availability. Please contact us for specific information or to be placed on our waiting list.

Payment:
You will be billed for services on a 30-day cycle, or you can remit payment at the time of your visit, whichever you prefer.

We accept payment via cash, check and all major credit cards. You will be held responsible for returned checks, denied credit card payments and collection fees.

Insurance Coverage

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. We are currently an in-network provider with Blue Cross/Blue Shield PPO (not Blue Choice PPO) and Aetna.

Regardless of your insurance company, our office will file claims on your behalf to help you collect your benefits.

Before your first session, we recommend that you check your eligibility for mental health benefits by calling your insurance carrier and asking the following questions:

  • Do I have mental health insurance benefits?

  • What is my deductible, and has it been met?

  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

  • Is approval required from my primary care physician?

  • How much information will my insurance company collect about me?

“Do I have to use my insurance?”

Patients often ask if they have to use their insurance to pay for therapy services. The answer is no. Whether your health insurance policy doesn’t cover mental health services, or you’d prefer not to use your insurance for privacy reasons, we offer a private-pay option as well. Please contact us for details.

Scheduling and Cancellation

Scheduling options:
The best way to schedule an appointment if you are a current patient is directly with your therapist. If you don't already have their number you can find it on the About Us pages.

If you are a new patient, please visit the Contact Us page of the website or feel free to call us at 847-729-3034.

Cancellation policy:
Please notify us at least 24 hours in advance if you need to change or cancel your appointment. If you fail to notify us within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment time, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session.
