My practice is private pay, allowing for a more personalized and confidential experience without the limitations of insurance.

Session fees range from $180โ€“$250, depending on the service and session length.

Payment is collected at beginning of each session. HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and superbills are available for those seeking out-of-network reimbursement from insurance.
