FAQ

Common questions before booking

Not sure which consultation to book?

If you're dealing with anxiety, OCD, or intrusive thoughts, choose Therapy Consultation. If you or your child need testing for ADHD, dyslexia, or a learning difference, choose Psychological Testing. If you're still not sure, book either one and we'll point you in the right direction.

Do you accept insurance?

We're private-pay and out-of-network. Many clients use their out-of-network benefits to offset the cost, and we'll help you check yours. Full details are on our fees and insurance page. For clients requiring strictly in-network coverage, we have limited slots available with licensed staff clinicians for select plans, see our in-network options.

How soon can I be seen?

Availability varies, but many clients are able to book a consultation within a few days. You'll see real-time open slots once you select a time above.

Is my information kept confidential?

Yes. Everything discussed during your consultation and any future sessions is confidential, consistent with standard clinical and legal guidelines.

What if I need to reschedule?

You'll get a confirmation email with a link to reschedule or cancel your consultation at any time, no need to call or email us directly.
