FAMILY THERAPY- We require family and /or parental involvement in the therapy of all children under the age of 13 and we may require that participation with children over the age of 13. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) policy statement on family therapy states, "The participation of family members in the assessment of infants, children and adolescents is integral to positive clinical outcomes."

COURT-ORDERED THERAPY - We do not provide court-ordered therapy of any kind. We believe that therapy which is mandated by the legal system is NOT therapy. In addition, we do not participate in legal cases as "expert" witnesses. Our policy is that we require a minimum of 4 sessions prior to providing any documentation to court, schools, attorneys or any other regulatory entity. We do not provide therapy for workman's compensation cases.

INSURANCE - This is an independent practice. I do participate in many insurance networks and will bill your insurance as a courtesy to you. However, there has been a significant change in the health insurance industry requiring that members pay larger copays and deductibles. Many plans are different and we do not know what you plan requires. If you choose to use your health insurance to pay for therapy then you need to know what you plan covers as you will be responsible for fees not covered by you insurance.
