Vibrant Life Counseling accepts electronic payments through debit, credit, and HSA/FSA cards.

Vibrant Life Counseling is an out-of-network provider and does not bill insurance directly. Payment is due at the time of service.

If your insurance plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, I’m happy to provide a superbill—an itemized receipt for services—that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Because benefits vary by plan, I recommend contacting your insurance provider before beginning therapy to ask about your out-of-network coverage and possible reimbursement.

A Good Faith Estimate for mental health services is a document which outlines the estimated costs you might incur during your therapy process, including session fees, assessment costs, and any additional charges.

This helps you understand and plan for the financial aspects of your mental health care, ensuring transparency and empowering you to make informed decisions about your care.
