SERVICES

While we do participate with: Blue Cross Blue Shield, Priority Health, and Aetna, I also value your choice in working with insurance or using private pay. 

Enhanced Confidentiality
Choosing private pay allows us to keep your therapeutic records fully confidential, as we are not required to share any diagnostic or treatment details with insurance companies. Insurance billing often requires disclosure of sensitive information, which can become part of your permanent medical record. With private pay, the details of your journey remain strictly between you and me, giving you full control over your personal information.

Freedom to Shape Your Treatment
Insurance companies often impose restrictions on the type, frequency, and duration of therapy sessions. By opting for private pay, we have the flexibility to tailor a treatment plan that best meets your unique needs and goals, free from external limitations. This allows us to work at a pace that’s right for you, using approaches that align with your preferences and therapeutic goals.

Superbill for Insurance Reimbursement
Although I do not bill insurance directly, I can provide you with a superbill—a detailed receipt with necessary service codes—that you may choose to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Many clients find that this allows them to retain the benefits of private pay while still utilizing their insurance benefits.

Use of Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
To make therapy more accessible, I also accept payments through Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). These accounts can be an excellent option for managing therapy costs on a private pay basis, while still taking advantage of tax-free health-related funds.

In short, private pay offers you the highest degree of confidentiality, flexibility, and control over your therapy, with options to seek reimbursement if you wish. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Outside of Ottawa/Kent County:

Register for Open Path Collective, a nonprofit, sliding scale cooperative that pairs you with therapists in your area: https://neurohavencounseling.my.canva.site/copy-of-copy-of-mission-focused-blue-white

A typical counseling session at NeuroHaven Counseling and Support Collective lasts for 50 minutes, although some sessions may be longer or shorter depending on your needs and preferences.

This is entirely up to you and your counselor to determine, based on your current mental health and your goals. Often, clients will work with their counselor weekly or biweekly. You may find that over time you begin extending out  the time between appointments- and that's a great thing! 

This practice can help with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief and loss, trauma, and more.

At this time, this practice cannot support complex, contentious, legal/court-related concerns. We are happy to refer you to additional resources if we can. 

This practice does not offer medication management. Please reach out to your primary care physician or psychiatrist.
