No you do not. We understand that even though we do our best to protect all your health information some do not want to use insurance as our documentation is subject to their review at any time.

Do you have sliding scale fees?

We understand that full pricing, when not using insurance can be steep so we have created a membership program with membership pricing that is discounted for those choose an individual or family plan that is paid for the year and/or on monthly prepaid basis without proof of income. These membership plans discount our rates by 25% and 20% percent. *** Under the plan missed appointments are not refunded and reschedules are based on availability.

What if I have an emergency?

For detailed information refer to our disclosure statement; however, in brief an emergency is a life-threatening event. If it’s not life-threatening rescheduling is best. Simply go to the client portal to request a new appointment time or call the office as soon as you can. Otherwise, if you cancel in less than 48 hours you will pay your entire fee for the missed or no-show appointment.

I live in NC but too far from your office, how else can you see me?

We offer telehealth also known as video chat sessions over a strong and HIPAA compliant internet connection at no extra charge. We also offer email/text chat sessions and have various ways you can access that option. Simply indicate when you call or submit your request which option you would prefer.

I live outside of NC. Can you be my therapist?

I wish it was that easy; however, it is best that you find a therapist who is licensed in your state and if there is an emergency can get to your side if need be. I am only licensed in North Carolina. If you are planning on moving here make sure to get a jumpstart on transferring your insurance then contact me when you are ready.

What’s the difference in the connection with your therapist over video chat?

There is no difference in the connection you can have with your therapist. You simply want to make sure you use good lighting, have a quiet and confidential place to have your sessions without interruption, and have strong internet connection.
