What is therapy?

Therapy is a process that helps build self-esteem, reduce anxiety, strengthen coping strategies, and learn positive new skills. Psychotherapy also helps clients deal with issues related to their mental health conditions which in turn affect the rest of their, and the people close to them, lives.

Do you take insurance?

Unfortunately, Mental Health Empowerment, LLC is not a provider of any insurance company. Many insurance providers do offer reimbursements for our services. Before you begin treatment, we suggest contacting your insurance provider to confirm the exact reimbursement amount you are eligible for. Additionally, it's common for clients to use their Medical Service Account or Flexible Spending Account to cover these expenses.

Essential Questions to Ask Your Insurance Provider:

- What is the reimbursement rate for an out-of-network provider?

- Is there a deductible, and how much is it?

- Is prior approval from my primary care provider necessary?
