No Waitlist for Services!

Immediate access to private-pay services. As of Fall 2025, we accept insurance! Please note individual plans vary in regards to insurance benefits, such as covered visits, deductibles, and co-pay or co-insurance amounts. For insurance carriers we are not in-network with, we can provide you with a superbill upon request to pursue out-of-network benefits.
