We do not contract with any insurance companies. We choose to be an out-of-network provider in order to provide better, more holistic services for you.

We do take FSA/HSA cards.
Can you provide superbills?

Absolutely! We can provide you a superbill upon request for you to submit to your insurance company. This can help offset the cost of your specialized care. A superbill is a receipt that includes your diagnosis code(s), treatment codes, billing units, and how much you paid. Reimbursement depends on your insurance and the out-of-network percentage. For more questions regarding your out of network benefits, please call your insurance company as every plan & company is different.

What does an evaluation look like?

Each evaluation is different depending on your personal needs, but all do follow the below general outline: It is a thorough, compassionate, 90-minute assessment and goal planning session. The evaluation will allow you time to share your you: your story, your concerns, your interests, your fears, your goals. We will discuss your roles and routines, both previous, current, and desired, observe your breath and movement patterns, and how you go about your day. We can assess your functional mobility, posture, and any pain you are having. We may provide screening for mental health, sensory profile, or others, as needed. An internal exam (if appropriate) to assess deeper muscular function is also an option, but is at your discretion, and consent is always ongoing and respected. We will talk about what brings you joy, what is meaningful to you, and from there, work with you to determine the best plan for achieving your goals. Everything about the evaluation is both comprehensive and fluid, allowing for as organic information-gathering.
