How do I schedule a session?
You can schedule a session by calling 513-444-2018 or e-mailing us here. Andrea Antczak, our Practice Coordinator, will ask you what you are hoping to work on in therapy and which therapist you would like to see. Each of us has different availability and areas of expertise. If we are able to meet your needs then you will be offered time slots for an appointment. If we are unable to meet your needs then you will be provided with appropriate referrals.
What are the office hours?
Each clinician has different office hours ranging from late morning to late evening. Please let us know if you need a certain day or time for your session and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Do you accept insurance?
Our practice is primarily out of network with insurance. However, we have partnered with Mentaya, a service that will check and see if your plan offers Out-Of-Network benefits. Many of our clients save money on their appointments by using OON benefits which reimburse for a portion of their therapy. Typically OON benefits reimburse between 50% to 80% of the session cost. Click here to check your OON benefits.
There are several reasons that we choose to not join insurance panels:
Confidentiality: Your employer can find out if you are seeking mental health treatment when you use your insurance if you have a job that requires healthcare check. It can also be in your permanent medical records.
Diagnosis: Insurance plans require that all clients be given a diagnosis to cover treatment. However, not all people who seek out therapy meet the criteria for a mental health diagnosis and could instead be struggling with one specific aspect of their life.
Treatment limitations: Because insurance companies are often seeking to keep costs low, they can dictate the length of treatment and what modalities can be used, despite what may actually be in the best interests of the client.
Many insurance carriers do offer partial reimbursement for out of network services, so we encourage you to contact your health insurance provider to inquire about these potential benefits. We are happy to provide you with the necessary documentation to help receive these benefits. Although we are not able to submit claims to your insurance (with the exception of Medicare patients of Dr. Bryant), we do accept payment via HSA/FSA cards. Please know that you are ultimately responsible for payment of the full fee, regardless of insurance costs/benefits.
If interested, we are happy to offer a free 15 minute phone consultation. For individual therapy sessions (50-55 minutes) and for couples therapy sessions (60-75 minutes) the fee varies depending on the therapist you see. We ask for payment at the time of service and provide a convenient and secure option for saving your payment information in our online Patient Portal. You can also use your Health Savings Account or Flex Spending Account for payment. We are happy to provide you with a bill detailing the service provided and the total amount paid. Please note that any appointments cancelled within a 48 hour window of scheduled session are subject to a charge of the full session fee.
