What services are covered by insurance? 

Medically necessary services refer to interventions or treatments deemed essential for addressing a person's physical or mental health condition, as determined by medical professionals. These services are typically evidence-based and aimed at diagnosing, preventing, or treating illnesses or injuries.

Sometimes we feel like we're up the river without a paddle and leading to a sea of uncertainty. The cycle of challenges continues to prevent you from fully engaging in life. As a clinician, I work with my clients to remove the barriers that continue to stand in the way of recapturing their life.

Do not let fear and anxiety continue to hold you from your life. Let us work together to unlock the natural strength embedded within you. Let's work as a team to get you moving toward a better tomorrow.
