Many people find that a conversation is helpful in making this decision. The Institute invites you to call the clinic to discuss any questions or concerns you may have.

Call the nearest hospital or go to the emergency room as soon as possible.

Psychotherapists are usually assigned two weeks of receipt of your application. At times, we have a waitlist and you will be informed of your status on our waitlist.

Psychotherapy sessions last between 45-50 minutes.

You may request a new psychotherapist. The clinic wants to make sure you are comfortable with the clinician.

Since insurance offers minimal coverage, fees will be set based on our sliding scale guidlines which are designed to make treatment affordable. If you would like to use your insurance/managed care please use this link to find a graduate from the Institute.

We are unable to bill Medicaid, Medicare or SSI. If you have this coverage, please call the clinic for a referral.
