We help all of our therapists to give you their best!

You can inquire about coverage for CPT code 90837 (that's therapy). You are responsible for payment in full at the time of session. Coverage and reimbursement rates can vary drastically by plan and insurance provider so please make sure you understand all the risks, benefits, and costs associated with your specific plan.

Question 4

What is the difference between a Licensed Clinician and an Associate Clinician?

Accepted Answer

All our staff receive specialized perinatal training and on-going education; however, some of our clinicians are still gaining hours towards their license (3000 are needed before they can get licensed!) while others are fully licensed and have a bit more experience.  After graduating with their Master's Degree and while working on hours, a clinician is call an associate clinician. They work closely with a licensed and trained supervisor as they collect required hours and experience.  This does not mean associate clinicians are inexperienced as they often have the most up to date training, passion, fresh perspective, and many of the skills as their licensed colleagues do.

A licensed clinician is someone who has a Master's or Doctorate Degree, completed all required hours, and passed their state licensure exam. They can practice independently without supervision.

*If you plan to use superbills, please note that some insurance companies will not reimburse for sessions with associate clinicians
