Your first appointment includes a comprehensive clinical assessment, review of your personal and mental health history, discussion of current concerns, and collaborative development of a treatment plan tailored to your goals.

Ongoing therapy sessions are personalized to support your unique needs and goals. Areas of focus may include stress management, burnout recovery, anxiety, life transitions, first responder support, relationship concerns, and personal growth.



Insurance & Billing

Within Therapy LLC is committed to making quality mental health care accessible and straightforward. We proudly partner with Headway to accept several major insurance plans while also offering a simple private-pay option for clients who prefer to pay directly for services.

Whether you plan to use insurance or self-pay, we encourage you to review your coverage benefits, including copays, deductibles, and eligibility requirements. If you have questions about billing, insurance acceptance, or payment options, we're happy to help guide you through the process.

Good Faith Estimate Notice

Your Rights Under the No Surprises Act

At Within Therapy LLC, we are committed to transparency in the cost of care. If you do not have health insurance or choose not to use your insurance benefits, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected costs associated with your mental health services before treatment begins.

A Good Faith Estimate provides an overview of the anticipated charges for psychotherapy and other non-emergency healthcare services, helping you make informed decisions about your care.

As a Client, You Have the Right To:

If you receive a bill that is $400 or more higher than your Good Faith Estimate, you may be eligible to dispute the charges through the federal patient-provider dispute resolution process.

We encourage you to save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records and future reference.

For additional information about your rights under the No Surprises Act, please visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.

If you have questions about fees, billing, or obtaining a Good Faith Estimate, please contact us. 

We're happy to help you understand your options and the cost of care before services begin.
