We offer immediate openings, so you can start as soon as possible

Therapy with us is personalized to your needs and goals. We provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your experiences, make positive changes, and learn healthy coping tools, using modern technology to track progress and adjust treatment for the best results.

You can still use your insurance benefits while enjoying the advantages of out-of-network care.
Specialized Care: Our therapists have advanced training and take on fewer clients, ensuring high-quality, focused care.
Personalized Treatment: We tailor therapy to your unique needs without insurance constraints or one-size-fits-all approaches.
Session Flexibility: We can discuss anything relevant to your life, not just topics tied to a diagnosis.
Privacy & Confidentiality: Your treatment details stay private, with no required sharing with insurance companies.
No Diagnosis Required: You can receive therapy without a diagnosis on your record, protecting your privacy without any possible future implications.
Unlimited Sessions: We set the pace based on your needs, without insurance-imposed limits or forced termination.

Medication can be effective, but it alone cannot solve all issues. Sometimes medication is needed in conjunction with counseling. Our work together is designed to explore and unpack the problems you are experiencing and expand on your strengths that can help you accomplish your personal goals.

If you would like to use your insurance for out-of-network therapy, please contact your insurance provider prior to your first session.

You can do so by following these simple steps:

• Call the number on the back of your insurance card.
• Speak with a member representative about whether you have "out-of-network" coverage.
• If you do, ask for a super-bill from your therapist on your first appointment.
• If you encounter any challenges regarding this process, please contact us and we will be happy to help.

As required by CMS and Federal Legislation, effective January 1, 2022 (the “No Surprises Act”) the Practice is required to provide you with a good faith estimate (GFE) for services. The Practice’s office policies outline most of the requirements of this legislation, but a separate document will include the information in a way that complies with this legislation.

Diagnoses for patients are NOT provided prior to the practice meeting with the patient, but the fee for services is not impacted by a diagnosis. Diagnoses are provided after careful review of clinical presentation and observations and other collateral information that is provided and acquired.

Psychotherapists and clinical social workers adhere to a code of ethics, and much of the information required under the new legislation cannot be provided in advance without violating those ethics. All prospective clients will be provided with a general document outlining the practice’s current full fee schedule.

Service duration and length are determined between patient and therapist and can change based on the progress the individual is making in therapy. Thus, an estimate of therapy costs will be provided as if they are seen on a weekly basis for a year to ensure transparency.

A unique GFE will be provided to the client based on an estimated treatment frequency with the understanding that a client is never required to complete their treatment as psychotherapy is an "at-will" medical service.

At minimum, treatment plans are reviewed approximately every 3 months, and a new GFE can be provided upon request or if the cost of services will increase beyond the amounts provided in the GFE.

Confidentiality is the foundation of therapy and coaching. Your therapy/coaching sessions are a container where you get to share openly - free from judgement or fear that your information will be shared. Apart from the exceptions listed below, which are required by law, we will not share information or respond to inquiries of any kind without your written consent.

• If in our clinical judgment, you pose a threat to harm yourself, and you refuse appropriate treatment, your Empower therapist or Coach is ethically bound to notify the appropriate parties (those who can intervene to protect you).
• If you indicate a serious imminent threat to harm another person, Empower is legally required to warn the intended victim(s) and the police, and/or to obtain a civil commitment to the state mental health system.
• We are required to report any suspicion of child or elder abuse or neglect, to the appropriate authorities.
• In rare instances, state or federal courts may subpoena our records for testimony. In most instances, we are forced to honor these subpoenas.
