We do not directly accept insurance for therapy sessions. However, we offer alternative payment options to ensure that therapy remains accessible and affordable for our clients. We accept payments through Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). These are financial accounts that allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars for eligible medical expenses, including therapy sessions. You can use your HSA or FSA funds to cover the cost of your therapy sessions with us. Please note that if you plan to use your HSA or FSA for therapy sessions, it's always a good idea to check with your specific account provider to confirm that therapy services are eligible expenses.
