Appointment and Fee Details
In-person sessions are strongly recommended, Urbana and New Market, Maryland. We do also offer telehealth if that works best for you!
We are unable to accept insurance, as insurance companies require one person to have a mental health diagnosis and be the documented focus of therapy, which isn’t the case when working with relationships and is even counterproductive to the process.
When you self-pay, you may be able to access out-of-network reimbursement for a portion of the fee, depending on your insurance.
We have a great tool called Mentaya that allows you easily check your benefits. Click the button below to give it a try.
