I can help verify if you have out-of-network benefits. I use a service called Thrizer that automatically submits superbills for you and allows you to pay only a copay for my sessions. This typically saves clients, on average, 70 percent of my full rate every session. We will go about this together during the free consultation.
The practice will call you for a free 10 minute phone call to discuss your needs and ensure a match!
