Insurance & Payment
Coverage can vary by insurer, network, individual plan, and service. Please confirm benefits before your first appointment.
Working with major insurance carriers
Kinnected Therapies works with most major insurance carriers. Coverage and benefits vary by individual plan, so we encourage prospective clients to contact us to confirm participation and discuss their coverage before scheduling an appointment.
We are happy to help you understand your options and answer questions about insurance and payment.
Ask About Your PlanQuestions worth checking
- Is the clinician in network for your exact plan?
- Do outpatient psychotherapy benefits apply?
- What are your copay, coinsurance, and deductible?
- Are authorization or referral requirements involved?
- If out of network, are reimbursement benefits available?
Your insurer can confirm benefits and eligibility. A benefits quote is not a guarantee of payment.
Finding the Right Level of Care
Psychotherapy is one part of a broader network of care. Different situations call for different types of support.
Immediate Crisis Support
If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. In the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
988 Lifeline ↗More Intensive Treatment
Some people may benefit from an intensive outpatient program (IOP), partial hospitalization program (PHP), or inpatient services. The appropriate level of care depends on individual needs and clinical assessment.
FindTreatment.gov ↗General Mental Health Information
Reliable educational information can help you understand common symptoms, treatment approaches, and when to seek professional support.
National Institute of Mental Health ↗Professional Collaboration & Referrals
My work is informed by experience across clinical psychology, physical therapy, athletic training, and positive psychology. When appropriate and with a client's permission, coordinated care may involve physicians, physical therapists, neuropsychologists, and other professionals.
I also welcome conversations about professional consultation and opportunities to apply my broader background.
