The Intake Process

1. A NO-COST BRIEF PHONE SCREEN (15-30 minutes) will be conducted prior to scheduling the initial assessment/consultation session in order to determine the appropriateness of the referral question, likelihood of fit for our services, and to answer your questions not covered in these materials.
2. FULL INTAKE PROCESS includes a clinical interview lasting one to three hours, a team review of pertinent background information (including prior treatment history, past records and initial contact with other current providers, if applicable), and a session where you will complete a series of standardized assessments.  Some preliminary forms will be sent to you for completion prior to your first appointment.

Fees and Payments

Please see important note on insurance below.

1. FEES FOR THE CLINIC are charged by professional time and have been determined in a manner that takes into account factors such as regional psychotherapy rates and the level of our specialty services and expertise.  When available, portions of treatment may be offered at reduced rates with training therapists (doctoral students) working under the supervision of a licensed psychologist.
   All services are closely supervised and directed by our licensed psychologists.  However, we do offer reduced fees depending on family income.  If you will be requesting a reduced fee, please bring proof of your family income with you.
2. PAYMENTS are to be collected at each session and may be made by check, money order, cash, or credit card (Mastercard, Visa, or Discover).  Returned checks or charges will incur an additional $35.00 fee, and ongoing unpaid balances may incur collections charges.

   Important Information Regarding Insurance

   It is our philosophy that our commitment and time is best spent providing individualized services of the highest quality and confidentiality, while minimizing unnecessary bureaucratic details or delays in treatment.

   Thus, like many anxiety specialty programs across the country, we at this time DO NOT bill insurance and ARE NOT participating providers for any insurance plans.  Our licensed supervising staff are considered "Out of Network" providers, and we cannot guarantee that insurance companies will reimburse any or all expenses for direct or supervised services.  However, we will provide you with a statement suitable for submitting to insurance on your own should you choose to do so.  Some insurance companiess will work with their members regarding these treatments.  We will gladly provide brief summaries of the recommended evidenced based treatments and clinical rationale for our treatment plans.  While many patients are successful in seeking reimbursement for at least a portion of their therapy fees, please remember that reimbursement is considered a matter between you and your insurance company.  Always check with them directly for questions about your coverage.

3. CANCELATIONS AND LATE PAYMENTS Your appointment time is expressly reserved for you.  Chronic lateness and missed appointments greatly interfere with this therapy.  Strategies towards alleviating those difficulties may be addressed with your therapist.  No Shows and Cancelations without 24-hours notice will be subject to the full session fee, and Late Charges may be assessed at our discretion.
   *Please note that these charges are rarely reimbursed by insurance.

PLEASE NOTE that our clinic is not designed to provide ongoing crisis management for issues such as substance abuse, active suicidality, violence, or psychoses.  If at any time you believe you need a higher level of services for these types of issues, please discuss this with the clinic director and we will assist you in locating an appropriate referral.  ALWAYS call 911 and/or report to the nearest emergency room for medical care during a psychiatric emergency.
