Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
We do no take insurance. We are an out of network provider which means that the clients we work with pay us at each appointment and receive a superbill the 1st week of the new month. The information on this superbill can be used to try and seek out reimbursement. You would need to check with your insurance company about if and how much they would reimburse you for seeing an out of network OCD/Anxiety specialist.
How much will it cost?
Our fees are dependent on the clinician's expertise, individual versus group therapy and your budget. They range between $50 - $300.
What do you specialize in?
We specialize in helping people with OCD or Anxiety using evidence based treatments such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
What services do you offer?
Our individual therapy program is geared toward helping people with mild to moderate OCD or Anxiety and includes meeting with your therapist anywhere from one to two times a week (based on severity and availability). Our intensive therapy program is aimed at helping people with moderate to severe OCD or Anxiety and includes four 90 minute meetings a week (based on severity and availability) and an optional support group. An ideal candidate for our intensive therapy program is someone with OCD or Anxiety and is awaiting an IOP opening or is unable to do an IOP program at this time.

How long will I be in therapy for?
This is dependent on a few factors that will be reviewed during your initial assessment.

Many clients with mild OCD or Anxiety notice changes in the first 6-8 sessions.
