Paying for care
Much of the psychiatry available in this region is private pay only. This practice takes insurance, which for many people means a visit costs closer to a copay.
Headway handles insurance verification, claims and billing for this practice. When you book through Headway you can add your insurance and see an estimate of your cost before the appointment, rather than finding out afterward.
That estimate comes from your plan, not from us, which is the main reason we point everyone there instead of quoting figures on a website.
Plans referenced in our records
Plan participation can differ by state and can change over time. Always confirm your specific plan on the Headway profile before you book - that page reflects current participation, and this one may not.
Other options
Self-pay is available for people who are out of network, prefer not to involve insurance, or have a plan that is not accepted. Current rates are confirmed directly before scheduling.
Send a note through the contact form with your state and your insurer, and we will point you to the right answer. Please do not include medical details or member ID numbers.
Ask about coverageQuestions
Because what you pay depends on your plan, your deductible and your state. Adding your insurance in Headway gives you a figure specific to you, which is more useful than a range that may not apply.
No, and this trips people up often. Licensure and insurance participation are separate. Check the Headway profile for participation in your specific state and plan.
Some plans reimburse out-of-network care. Your insurer can tell you what your plan allows and what documentation they require.
Let us know as soon as you can, and update your insurance information in Headway so billing stays accurate.

Clear, clinically responsible answers to questions patients ask before and during psychiatric care.
Burnout is usually tied closely to chronic work stress, while depression can affect mood and functioning across settings. They can occur together, and persistent hopelessness, major impairment, or thoughts of self-harm require prompt support. This article explains how the two overlap, what differences a clinician explores, and when to seek help.
Panic attacks are sudden intense fear; anxiety builds or persists. Symptoms can overlap. New chest pain or breathing trouble needs urgent care. A psychiatric assessment explores patterns and overlap.

This article explains what a thorough evaluation looks for—and when to seek routine or urgent help.
