Insurance
For effective psychotherapy to occur, privacy and confidentiality are essential. For this reason sometimes insurance coverage can feel like a violation of patient privacy. Insurance companies typically require that patients be diagnose with a mental disorder in order to receive payment for treatment. Symptoms such as depression and/or anxiety tend to occur when something is out of balance in our lives. Dr. Holland does no believe that having symptoms equals a mental disorder.
Insurance Companies often request extensive treatment notes, dictate the scope of treatment and the length of treatment (among other things), as a result your right to privacy is automatically waived. Dr. Holland believes that treatment decisions about your psychotherapy need to be made collaboratively between patient and doctor, as you work together to find solutions to your needs and challenges.
For patients who choose to use insurance, and if your insurance provider accepts out of network providers Dr. Holland will provide formal billing that can be submitted to your insurance company for personal reimbursement. It is not uncommon for insurance providers to reimburse customers who choose to see out of network providers.
Phone/Video Conference Sessions
Teletherapy or telehealth is the means by which you are able to meet with your provider over video chat or phone. Please call 707-479-2946 for information on rates for single sessions, short term therapy and on-going support.
New clients will need to go through a screening process that begins with a free 15-minute phone consultation with Dr. Holland. Once the screening process is complete, clients simply need to a reliable computer or phone with a webcam. After the appointment, Dr. Holland sends a link to the video conference that the client will use to access the therapist’s online office room.
