We are primarily a private-pay practice — our clinicians are highly experienced specialists who bring exceptional depth to every patient relationship. Select providers are in-network with Anthem BCBS and UnitedHealthcare/Optum. Call us to discuss your options.
A number of our providers are in-network with the following carriers. Coverage varies by individual clinician — please call us to confirm which providers participate with your specific plan before scheduling.
Call to confirm. To verify that your plan is accepted and that your chosen provider is in-network, please call us at (703) 724-0200 before your first appointment.
Most of our clinicians practice on a private-pay basis. This is a deliberate choice — not a limitation.
Our providers are among the most experienced mental health specialists in Northern Virginia. Many hold advanced certifications, specialized training, and years of focused expertise in their areas. Private pay means no insurance-mandated session limits, no prior authorizations delaying your care, and a clinician who can focus entirely on you — not on paperwork. Many patients find the quality and flexibility of care well worth the investment.
Superbills available. If your provider is private pay, we provide a detailed superbill after each session — an itemized receipt with all the procedure codes your insurer needs to process your claim. You submit it directly to your insurance company for potential reimbursement under your out-of-network mental health benefits. Many plans reimburse a meaningful portion of session costs. Call us at (703) 724-0200 to learn more about rates and what to expect.
Mental health insurance benefits can be complex. Here are the key terms to understand before your first visit.
A fixed amount you pay per session, regardless of the total cost. Common copays for mental health range from $20–$60 depending on your plan.
The amount you pay out of pocket before your insurance begins covering costs. Once met, you typically only pay your copay or coinsurance per session.
Some plans use coinsurance instead of a copay — you pay a percentage (e.g., 20%) of the session fee, and insurance covers the rest.
Some insurance plans require prior authorization for mental health services. Our team will work with your insurer to obtain any required authorizations before your care begins.
The easiest way is to call the member services number on the back of your insurance card. Ask about your mental health or behavioral health benefits, your deductible status, your copay or coinsurance, and whether a referral is required. You can also call our front desk and we will help verify your benefits for you.
For providers who are in-network with Anthem BCBS or UnitedHealthcare/Optum, yes — we bill your insurance directly and collect only your copay or deductible at the time of service. For private-pay providers, you pay at the time of service and we can provide a superbill to submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. Call us to learn which payment model applies to the provider you’re interested in.
Most of our providers are private pay — you pay at the time of service and we provide a detailed superbill with all the billing codes your insurer needs. You submit it directly to your insurance company for reimbursement under your out-of-network mental health benefits. Many plans cover a meaningful portion. Call us at (703) 724-0200 and we can walk you through what to expect.
Many insurance plans cover telehealth mental health services, though coverage rules vary by plan. We recommend confirming telehealth benefits with your insurer when you verify your coverage.
Our front desk team will explain your options — insurance, private pay, and superbill reimbursement — so you know exactly what to expect before your first visit.
