We are out-of-network providers, which means insurance is not directly accepted. However, superbills can be provided for you to submit to your insurance company; oftentimes, insurance will reimburse a percentage of the appointment cost. Before starting therapy, it is recommended that you contact your insurance company directly to clarify your out-of-network benefits and determine the limitations and/or requirements for reimbursement.

If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. If less than 24 hours is given, you will be charged for the full cost of the session. Exceptions may be made in cases of emergencies or illness.

At the first appointment, you can expect your therapist to take time to get to know you, understand your background and history, and explore your reasons for seeking therapy. This will involve inquiries about your personal history, current challenges, and relevant mental and/or physical health. You will have the opportunity ask questions about the therapy process and discuss any concerns or fears you may have. Your therapist will begin to work collaboratively with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your needs and goals, ensuring that you feel heard and supported throughout the process. You can expect an atmosphere that is casual, warm, and welcoming.

Current clients can send a message through the Client Portal (this is the most secure method of communication) or can email Dr. Kelly or email Dr. Bowes. New clients are encouraged to reach out using the Inquiry Form on this site. If you do not receive a response within 48 hours, please send a follow-up message.
