If your insurance carrier is not listed above, you may request a "superbill" at your time of service to submit to your insurance carrier for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Please contact your insurance company for directions on how to best submit this information.

In the event that you are utilizing insurance and need to terminate or leave a session early, we are legally not allowed to bill for that session in its entirety. Therefore, you may be required to pay for your session at the full self-pay rate. Please make sure to schedule accordingly, so that you can take advantage of a full therapeutic hour. In the event of a crisis or we agree that a session needs to go over our allotted time, you may be charged at a rate of $2/minute. This fee may or may not be covered by your insurance.

Duration of Care: Due to the nature of counseling, individual needs, presenting diagnoses, client compliancy in treatment, differing worldviews, pre-existing traumas, life changes that may present themselves during the course of care, openness to change, and other various factors, we are unable to give clients an exact estimate of how long it will take to complete treatment. For some it may be one to three sessions. For others, it could be a year or more. All providers with Peaceful Waters will do their best to let clients know during the first couple of sessions what they recommend in regards to frequency of sessions and how long it might take to work through the presenting issue(s) at hand.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a very strict late cancellation/no show policy. Any appointment that is not cancelled with at least 24 hours notice will be charged the $120 fee ($50 for practicum students and interns). Your insurance company DOES NOT cover this fee. While we understand that there are times when you must miss an appointment due to an emergency, cancelled appointments may prevent other patients from getting much needed treatment and care. Therefore, in the event that you must cancel, 24 hours notice MUST be given. We understand that this policy is quite strict, especially in the event of an emergency. Therefore, we will be implementing a one-time fee reduction for late cancellations/no shows. This fee is $60 for Providers and $25 for Practicum Students/Interns. If you have already received a waiver or fee reduction with our practice, you will not receive an additional one. Thank you for your understanding! This policy is in alignment with other private practices and ensures that the therapeutic commitment is taken seriously and our highly trained providers are compensated for their time.
