How long do I need therapy?

This depends on what you are looking to work on. The amount of sessions or weeks you need will depend on your goals and what we figure out together is an appropriate length of time to work on them. The consulation will help us determine what may be a best fit for you.
What is a Superbill?

A Superbill is a paid invoice that you can independently submit to your insurance company for partial or full reimbursement. Please check with your insurance for out of network coverage policy. CreateWellness works with Mentaya, a platform that helps clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. If you have out-of-network benefits, Mentaya will file claims and handle the insurance paperwork to make sure you get reimbursed. They charge a 5% fee per claim and have helped people get thousands of dollars back per year. To check your out-of-network benefits, you can sign up using this link. Mentaya's goal is to save you time and money. It's completely optional, and CreateWellness does not benefit in any way from your participation.
