Common Questions

Here are some of the most common questions I get from clients about therapy. If you don't see your question answered below, please contact me.  

  • What is the cancellation/missed appointment policy?
    Late Cancellation is defined within 24 hours of your session at the time your session is scheduled to begin. Any late cancellations or no-shows will result in full fee payment for the missed session. Longleaf Counseling understands that sometimes things are out of our control or emergency situations happen that will result in a missed appointment. Due to this, one free pass for a missed appointment will be given each year when these unexpected circumstances occur.
  • Do you take insurance?
    Yes, we do. Currently, I am able to take BCBS and Aetna insurance. For all others, I am considered an out of networker provider. For those clients, I would be happy to provide a monthly superbill to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. We accept debit/credit cards, Health Savings Accounts (HSA), and Flexible Savings Accounts (FSA).
  • What is a good faith estimate?
    On January 1, 2022, congress enacted a "No Surprises Act", which is a "new federal protection against surprise medical bills that take effect in 2022. Surprise medical bills arise when consumers inadvertently receive care from out-of-network hospitals, doctors, or other providers they did not choose". Under the law, healthcare providers, including mental health providers, must give clients who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your mental health care may cost. Under the No Surprises Act, Longleaf Counseling must provide clients who do not have insurance (uninsured) or who will not be using insurance to pay or reimburse for services (self-pay) an estimate of the total expected costs for services. You can ask Longleaf Counseling for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises. If you have any questions about how this affects your care, please contact Longleaf Counseling at (980) 397-2519.
