Welcome

We’re happy you are considering therapy.

We know this is a really big step. Our website offers helpful information as well as a brief introduction to our clinician. Therapy is a client driven experience, which means that during our 50 minutes together, evidence-based therapeutic modalities are used to help you identify your needs, goals, and progress.

At Resilience Psychotherapy, we provide services for adults 18 years and older.

Therapeutic Services

Experiencing the transitions and challenges that occur in life can be redefining. Whether you are navigating the tumultuous waters of trauma, attempting to cope with grief and loss, suffering with depression, or searching for relief from anxiety, individual therapy is an opportunity to discover healing. While clients are traditionally scheduled to be seen in the office, Telehealth services are available online to individuals within the state of MS. You may also request a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation before you schedule a session.

You are more resilient than you imagine. We would be honored to support you in your healing.

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.” – Mark Twain

During the first and second sessions, we review your history, what brought you into therapy, and what you hope to achieve from our work together.

In the third session, we will establish your goals and complete a treatment plan to clarify how we can work toward those goals.

The “No Surprises Act” & Good Faith Estimates

The No Surprises Act was passed in December 2020, under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, with the aim of protecting consumers from receiving unexpected medical bills.

The Good Faith Estimate provision of the No Surprises Act federally mandates that healthcare providers must give clients an estimate of anticipated healthcare items and services, using what is called a “Good Faith Estimate.” This took effect on January 1, 2022.

What is a Good Faith Estimate?
A Good Faith Estimate is an estimate of the total expected costs of non-emergency healthcare items or services.

Intends to offer predictability & transparency in how much clients will be charged for healthcare services prior to their appointment.

Includes all regularly scheduled appointments (i.e. therapy sessions).

Does NOT include no-shows, late cancellations, or other services related to crisis care, which by definition are unexpected and cannot be predicted for the purpose of compiling a Good Faith Estimate in advance.

May also include consultations with client collateral contacts, fees related to paperwork requests, and other legal and administrative fees related to client care, when such items are scheduled in advance.

In our practice, we offer Good Faith Estimates that project out 12 months in advance. Essentially, your estimate will give you a reasonable idea what to expect in terms of therapy costs for one whole year, based on current rates and the frequency of sessions that we mutually agree upon in advance.

What are your rights as a client?
The Good Faith Estimate offers specific protections:

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate even if you get superbills from us if we are not in-network with insurance.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare service or items.

You have the right to receive your Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your scheduled healthcare service or item. If a service is scheduled at least 10 business days in advance, the Good Faith Estimate must be provided within 3 business days (of the scheduling, not of the appointment itself). If a service is scheduled at least 3 business days in advance, the Good Faith Estimate must be provided within 1 business day of scheduling.

You have the right to request a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a healthcare service or item. For services scheduled less than 3 business days in advance, please note that a Good Faith Estimate is not required by federal law, and will not be provided for you in written form except by request.

You have the right to receive a requested Good Faith Estimate within 3 business days.

You have the right to dispute a bill that exceeds your Good Faith Estimate. The federal government offers a dispute resolution process for this purpose.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions about the dispute process or for more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, please visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

What considerations should clients keep in mind?
DISCLAIMERS:

The information provided in the Good Faith Estimate is only that: an estimate. Actual healthcare items, services, or charges may differ or change throughout the year, even for long-term established clients. For new clients, we may revise your estimate once we have met and discussed more details around your symptoms, likely diagnoses, severity, and treatment plan, which may not be reflected in the Good Faith Estimate you initially receive. However, we will never schedule healthcare services or items without client consent, and clients may request an updated Good Faith Estimate at any time.

The Good Faith Estimate is not a contract, and does not bind, obligate, or require any client to obtain healthcare services.

There are no federal provisions allowing clients to waive their right to a Good Faith Estimate at this time. The regulation allows clients to waive some of the protections related to balance billing, but does not allow us to bypass the Good Faith Estimate through a client waiver. As such, we are currently required by law to send all ongoing clients new Good Faith Estimates every 12 months; clients cannot opt-out, and are required to acknowledge receipt and understanding of each new Good Faith Estimate in order to comply with federal law so that we may continue working together.
