-
Helping a client reach their goals through collaborative psychotherapy. Treatment begins with a diagnostic evaluation, followed by regular therapy sessions and periodic progress reviews. Many clients use insurance; we accept Ambetter, Aetna, Highmark Blue Shield, UPMC, and their partner plans.
-
Court-ordered or private pay evaluations for legal-related matters. Forensic evaluations are not treatment and confidentiality is with the requestor of evaluation instead of with the individual who is interviewed. As such, medical insurance is not able to be used for payment.
-
Outpatient psychotherapy for recovery from drugs, alcohol and many other addictive process disorders. Co-occurring disorders is just a fancy psych label used when someone meets criteria for a mental health diagnosis and any kind of abuse or addiction diagnosis at the same time. Health insurance is often used for these psychotherapy sessions. Clients may also be involved with other outside recovery programs (like IOP or 12-step) concurrently.
