1. Do you take insurance?

Empowerment from Within, LLC currently accepts Cigna and Anthem/BCBS. All other clients will need to pay for services after each appointment. We can provide you with a super bill, which is something that you can submit to your insurance company to pursue direct reimbursement from the company. The super bill features the billing code and all the necessary diagnostic information along with the name and license number of your provider.

2. How do I know my insurance company will cover this and I’ll get reimbursed?

While we can’t ethically guarantee that services will be covered by your specific policy, we can say that most companies that provide coverage for outpatient mental health services tend to reimburse for services. Coverage tends to be based on your company’s schedule of coverage for outpatient service rendered by a licensed professional. It is your responsibility to check with your insurance company to see if they will reimburse you for mental health services and what the requirements are for reimbursement.

3. How long will therapy take? (What is my long-term commitment?)

The initial intake session lasts 90 minutes. Most sessions after that last about 50 minutes each. In general, clients experience results within a few weeks but find benefits in continuing counseling over several months.

4. How often will I have to come?

In the beginning, clients receive the most benefit from coming once a week in order to establish the therapeutic relationship and learn new skills. As progress is made, clients may change to every two weeks. The goal is to reach a point where you only need to come in for “check-in” sessions once a month or on an “as needed” basis.

5. What are your fees?

We want those who need help to be able to afford to get help. Services are priced based on the cost for similar services in the area. College students may receive a discounted fee upon request. In addition, a retainer fee is available which allows clients to purchase sessions at a discounted rate. We also offer a discount for cash payments. Forms of acceptable payment include cash, check, and PayPal. Please contact Empowerment from Within, LLC for more detailed information.
