    As a courtesy to our clients, Modern Sessions verifies insurance benefits before services begin. Please note that while Modern Sessions strives to provide the most accurate information about your insurance coverage, estimates for benefits provided by your insurance aren’t always accurate and approval doesn’t guarantee payment by your insurance. The actual payment from your insurance depends on the specific terms and conditions of your insurance plan at the time of the service. Modern Sessions is not responsible for mis-quotes provided by your insurance. After your insurance processes your claims, they may determine that you are responsible for a different amount out of pocket. If this occurs, Modern Sessions will notify you as soon as possible. You are responsible for payment of services, if, for any reason, Modern Sessions does not receive payment from your insurance company.

    If we are considered an out-of-network provider with your insurance provider, we can provide you with a SuperBill, if you have a mental health diagnosis, for potential insurance reimbursement. Contact your insurance company directly to inquire about potential reimbursement as we cannot guarantee reimbursement of therapy fees.

  • You can expect your clinician to take the time to understand what is bringing you in for therapy, who you are, the things that have shaped your world and the direction that you’d like therapy to take you.

  • This varies from client to client. Therapy is an individualized process that is unique to each person. Each person comes to therapy with their own goals, desires, and struggles. This is why we don’t do cookie-cutter therapy. We will work with you to set goals, formulate strategies, and offer tools to try during the week. Our goal is to get you to a place where you are empowered and consistently applying tools to maintain your mental health goals. Your therapist and you will regularly check in on your progress and discuss your continued care.

  • Each therapist returns emails, calls, and texts at their earliest convenience. If you are having a counseling emergency, call 911 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988.

  • What is revealed by you is protected by legal, ethical and professional standards. All material is confidential and not released without your consent except by court order or information related to suspected child abuse, elder abuse, threatened homicide or suicide.
