Do you have a payment program for services if I don’t have insurance?

If a client is without a pay source and has limited income, there is a program for which he or she can apply for a reduced fee. When calling for your first appointment, you will be advised about information to bring with you to that appointment so that you can apply for this program. After the application has been completed and given to the business office, a letter will be sent to you informing you of the applicable reduced fee.

Just a few of the issues we can help with include:

• Depression

I am nervous about coming to counseling. Can you explain the process?

The first step is to call our access number (1-800-587-3854). You will be asked basic information including your name, birth, address, payment source, and a very brief reason for seeking services (i.e. depression, anxiety, school problems, etc.). The person taking your call will then be able to work with you to set up your first appointment with a therapist who is in your provider network and who is trained in the area of treatment that is of concern to you. In your first appointment, a thorough history is taken by a therapist who will make recommendations and facilitate the scheduling of the services that will best meet your needs. Medication evaluations are not included in the first visit but will be scheduled for you if this is appropriate for your treatment.

Do I need a referral from my primary care physician?

No, you do not, under most insurance policies, need a referral but if one is needed, we will let you know prior to the first appointment.
