Who offers insurance?

Although some providers may take a payment upfront, paying without any financial aid can add up to some nasty amounts! With insurance, you may encounter drastically lower prices for in-network providers, allowing you access to more sustainable treatment plans over time. During your first few sessions, we encourage you to speak with your provider about payment options, however you will be prompted by this question even during your initial search for your provider, as many accept different kinds of insurance.
