Will you fill out treatment plans for my insurance company?

Yes, all therapists are willing to fill out treatment plans as needed for clients at the practice.

Can I observe my child in a group session?

Unfortunately, you cannot observe our group sessions because of the confidentiality of the other children. All therapists are willing to share information with you about your child's behavior in the group.

What is the first step if I want to join into a group or receive therapy?

The first step for anyone wanting services at the practice is an initial intake. The intake lasts about an hour and a therapist will meet with you and your child individually and then together to determine a treatment plan.

Will my child be in with children with more severe behaviors?

No, we try very hard to match up children at similar social levels so that they are challenged but not overwhelmed.

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
Is approval required from my primary care physician?
