What to Expect When You’re Ready to Begin Therapy
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. This page is designed to help you understand what to expect — from reaching out, to your first appointment, to fees, insurance, and next steps.
If you have questions at any point, we’re happy to help.
1. Reach Out
You can contact us in whichever way feels easiest:
• Use our contact form (recommended)
• Email us at info@integrativepsychology.com
• Call us at (339) 707-5236
2. We Help Match You With the Right Clinician
We’ll ask a few brief questions to help us understand:
• What you’re hoping to work on
• Whether you’re looking for in-person or telehealth
• Scheduling preferences
• Any clinician preferences you may have
Our goal is to help connect you with the clinician and approach that best fits your needs.

Fees And Payment
We are not in-network with insurance plans. Some clients choose to use out-of-network benefits for possible reimbursement, depending on their plan (e.g. PPO, POS or Choice plans).
How Out-of-Network Reimbursement Typically Works
• You pay our fee at the time of your session
• We provide a superbill upon request
• You submit the superbill to your insurance company
• Your insurance company determines whether and how much they reimburse
Reimbursement is not guaranteed and varies widely by plan.
If you plan to use out-of-network benefits, you may want to ask your insurance company:
• Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
• What is my out-of-network deductible, and have I met it?
• What percentage is reimbursed after the deductible?
• Is preauthorization required?
• Are telehealth sessions reimbursed?
We can provide the information you need (service type, CPT codes, etc.) to help you ask these questions.
insurance and out-of-network reimbursement
We choose to remain out-of-network so we can provide care that is thoughtful, flexible, and clinically driven.
Being a private-pay practice allows us to:
• Spend more time on careful assessment and individualized treatment planning
• Offer integrative and specialized services without insurance-imposed restrictions
• Maintain greater privacy (insurance billing often requires diagnostic reporting)
• Reduce administrative barriers that can delay or limit care
• Focus on the quality and continuity of the therapeutic relationship
We understand that cost is an important consideration. If you have questions or want to talk through options, we encourage you to reach out.

Your first session is an opportunity to:
• Talk about what’s bringing you in

• Ask questions about process, scheduling, or next steps
You do not need to have everything figured out — that’s part of what therapy is for.
