What people ask before they begin

No. Sessions are self-pay. A monthly receipt lets you ask a plan that reimburses out-of-network care to pay part of it back. Medicare and Medicaid are not accepted.

It is an itemized receipt with the dates and the kind of session. A plan that covers out-of-network care may reimburse part of it; the plan decides. It carries a diagnosis code, which your insurer will see.

If you pay without insurance, you have the right to a written estimate of your costs before care starts. You receive yours before the first session. If a bill comes to $400 or more above it, you can dispute the bill. An estimate is not a contract.

The fee depends on the length of the session, and you receive it in writing before you start. The page on how fees work has the whole picture.

Yes. Cards from a health savings or flexible spending account work like any other card.

You and Yvette talk about what you want from therapy, how privacy works and what to do in a crisis. You decide afterward whether to continue.

A standard session is 50 minutes. Yvette sets the pace with you, and there is no set number of sessions. A shorter session is available when a full one is too much.

Yvette is licensed in Tennessee, and you must be in Tennessee during a session. If you are elsewhere, she helps you find someone licensed there.

Call or text 988, any time. In an emergency, call 911. This site and its messages are not monitored around the clock.

Yvette keeps your records private and shares them only as the law allows. Before you begin she explains the limits, in plain words.

No. Yvette sees adults only. She is glad to help you find someone who works with teens.

A session missed for a medical reason is never charged. For other changes, 24 hours' notice is asked. The schedule page has the details.

Only if you sign a written release naming each person and what may be shared. You can end it at any time.
