Do you accept insurance?Insurance is only available for therapy sessions. Empowering To Thrive, PLLC accepts the following insurances: Aetna, Allegiance, Amerigroup, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Evernorth, Magellan, Optum, Oscar Health, United Healthcare (UHC), United Behavioral Health (UBH), and UMR. Medicaid plans are accepted through Amerigroup and United Healthcare only. While we always encourage clients to practice direct communication with their insurance provider, we are here to help you understand your in-network and out-of-network coverage for mental health services.

What does in-network or out-of-network mean?In-network means your therapist can directly bill your insurance company on your behalf. The insurance company has negotiated a rate specifically for their clients with in-network therapists which typically are lower than the standard rates. The client is responsible for any sessions that your insurance might deny and should that happen a payment plan can be offered. Out-of-network means your therapist is not directly covered by your insurance company. When working with out-of-network benefits, the client pays for sessions upfront, is provided with what is called a “superbill” to submit to their insurance, and is typically reimbursed by the insurance company after a deductible is met.

How Can Therapy Help MeTherapy helps the client gain clarity, understanding, and the ability to align themselves with their values while releasing the traumas and negative thoughts that have been negatively impacting them. Typically, as the client heals their anxiety, depression, negative self-image, and chaos decreases while experiencing greater self-esteem, emotional stabilization, personal empowerment, and healthier boundaries.

What is your cancellation policy?We require at a minimum at least 24 hours advance notice for all canceled appointments. If we are notified with less than 24 hours’ notice or a no show happens you may be charged the late cancelation/no show fee. It is always best practice to let your therapist know as soon as possible.

Do you offer virtual therapy or in-person sessions?Currently we offer Telehealth sessions, In-person sessions are based upon availability of therapist and office space. Some clients may find therapy more easily accessible with their schedules by telehealth. Upon request we may be able to offer in-person sessions depending on the therapist and office availability. Children and adolescents may find it more beneficial to meet with their therapist in person. We are integrative using a variety of therapeutic modalities and techniques tailored specifically for each individual client. The therapist will discuss the treatment plan with the client to confirm that therapeutic goals are in alignment with the client.
