Free Consult

Start with a free 15-minute phone call

Before you commit to anything, we offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. It is a chance to ask questions, hear how we work and find out which clinician may fit. It is also when we can check your benefits, so you know where you stand on coverage before your first appointment.

Before You Call

What to have ready

  1. 1

    Your insurance card

    The member ID and plan name help us check your benefits.

  2. 2

    A general sense of what you want help with

    A sentence or two is plenty. You do not need to explain your history.

  3. 3

    Times that work for you

    Office hours are 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

There is no need to share health details by email. We will ask what we need on the phone.

One Practice

One plan, one billing office

Therapy, psychiatric care and addiction treatment are all provided within Empower PCS. That means one place to call with coverage questions, and providers who coordinate your care, with your consent, instead of separate offices billing separately.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if my plan covers therapy?

    Call the office with your insurance card. We can check, and you can also call the member services number on your card.
  • Why are rates not listed?

    Rates depend on the service and your coverage. Contact the office for current rates.
  • What does the first month of care look like?

    The first session is a 60-minute intake evaluation. From there, 53-minute sessions usually begin weekly or every other week. If medication becomes part of your care, your therapist and our psychiatric nurse practitioner share one plan, with your consent.
