Except for the phone consult described below, the following information does not pertain to new clients seeking Reiki service only.
Potential new clients seeking counseling may email or call with their identified concerns and what type of services they seek. Email is encrypted to meet HIPAA confidentiality requirements however calls are welcome as well. In the free, 20- minute phone consult, available to all potential therapy clients, we’ll briefly discuss your concerns and interest in services and determine whether you wish to bill your insurance, in which case I’ll obtain your insurance policy and insurance carrier info and check for mental health/substance abuse benefits and discuss them with you before you come in for your first visit. I do this with all new clients to verify status of deductible and/or out-of-pocket costs you may be required to meet before your coverage begins and determine what you would need to pay at each visit to follow. Sometimes counseling services don’t require a deductible be met first even though routine medical care services do!
Whether you use your insurance or self-pay, costs and payment options will be determined before we meet in the best effort to prevent any unpleasant cost surprises after we start working together. Please know, however, that every on-line or live chat inquiry regarding benefits with an insurance customer representative includes their disclaimer that “Quotes of coverage are not guarantees of payment” so we proceed cautiously and try to cover all bases ahead of the fact.
If we find you have a high, unmet deductible and/or full fees (under Rates) are prohibitive, we will discuss, for those potential clients with significant financial limitations, the availability of fee scale adjustments and/or the frequency of your visits to help you augment costs.
Reiki services for clients not involved in counseling/therapy services are not billable to insurance, nor are Reiki Training classes.
Further down this page you will find New Therapy Client Forms. Please, if you have a printer, print these off, legibly complete these, and bring them to your first visit. We will review them but their prior completion will help us focus even more on the concerns that lead you to seek help. Unfortunately these forms are not interactive (completable online) as they cannot be encrypted to protect your personal health information.
