Scheduling

You can schedule an appointment by calling (864) 428-1993 (this is the number for the center I am an affiliate provider for, and you will reach our administrative assistance, Shelley Ward)

Consultation session

I offer a totally free face-to-face 30-minute consultation session to potential clients. Some benefits this free opportunity provides include:

  • a no-pressure conversation to help you decide whether therapy at Highest Heights is a good fit for you and your needs

  • familiarity with my personality, my office procedures, and my treatment modality

  • comfort with my conversational style and presence

  • an opportunity to ask me details about who I am, how my practice operates, and what I can do to serve you

Session fees

I take care of the clients I serve, and I spend time serving them outside of our face-to-face meetings (which are typically 50-60 min) — I pride myself in taking discerning steps to be prepared for each session by researching methods to provide the most effective help and maintaining adequate records to aid the therapy process in pursuing our collaborative therapy goals. The fee for therapy services is $130 per session.

acceptable forms of Payment

I work with an administrative assistance named Shelley Ward who provides scheduling, billing, and record-keeping services for me to allow more convenient client access to the therapy and coaching I provide. During the intake process, you will be asked for credit card information to be kept on file and to be charged for each scheduled appointment. If you would rather pay in person, I accept cash, check, or card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover). If you do choose to pay in person, please plan to submit payment upon arrival and prior to the beginning of the session.

Online services

I am able to offer online therapy or mindfulness coaching sessions. If you are interested in online services, please feel free to schedule a virtual appointment by calling (864) 428-1993.

Insurance

Those who are interested in utilizing their insurance coverage for therapy session fees should note that I provide monthly "superbills" — detailed statements of service — which can be used to request a reimbursement from your insurance provider. All insurance claims should be handled by clients. If you are interested in using insurance coverage, please consider asking your insurance provider the questions below regarding your insurance policy. Please note that I am not a Medicare or Medicaid provider, so you will not be eligible for reimbursement through these programs.

  • Do I have out-of-network mental health insurance benefits?

  • What is my deductible and has it been met?

  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

  • What is the coverage amount per out-of-network therapy session?

  • Is approval required from my primary care physician?

  • Are there any diagnoses that are omitted from my insurance coverage plan?

For any further clarifications, please feel free to call my consultation number: (864) 345--0193.
