If you are insured, please bring your insurance card with you when you come in for your intake appointment.  If you are not insured and you’d like to apply for a reduced sliding scale fee, please bring the following documents, as applicable: proof of income, last tax return, pay stub, bank statement.  (If you have any questions about the process, please don’t hesitate to call Sean).

Payment options

We believe therapy should be an affordable option for everyone.  Most commercial insurance is accepted. However, as insurance plans vary greatly, we will look into your benefit allowances.  A sliding scale is available for clients without insurance coverage.  We also participate in the PA Medicaid program (CBH).  You may qualify for funding available through our community partnerships.  Our intake coordinator can answer any questions about these options.
