How much do services costs? Do you take insurance? How is payment accepted?

Currently, we are not paneled with insurance companies. The Cortina Method (TCM) is a specialized intervention and investment is discussed during the free Discovery Call, where I will hear from you and decide if this approach is appropriate for your needs.  For traditional therapy, after the initial intake appointment ($150), ongoing individual therapy sessions are $80/session. Credit cards, cash, check, and Venmo/PayPal are accepted for payment before and/or at the time of service.  In needed circumstances, there are different options for payment.  Many wonder what the benefits of self-pay are; it is important to understand that billing an insurance company requires providers to provide a diagnosis in order to be reimbursed, which includes sharing your presenting problem/diagnosis/treatment plan/prognosis. This becomes part of your permanent health record. By not billing insurance, this information is not shared with a third party. Self-pay also means you can find the best fit for your needs and concerns regardless of whether or not they are listed in your plan’s approved providers.

Why seek services and how can it help?

Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you've faced, some times there are additional factors that can change and impact the brain causing difficulties in coping with new/recent experiences. There's nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it, it takes strength and courage. It can help with new struggles or long-standing psychological issues, problems with anxiety or depression, and/or confusion with emotions. Other times it is in response to unexpected changes in one's life. It’s all about getting your life flowing more optimally.
