Our Services
Our mission at Wellsville Wellness Psychological Services is to provide compassionate and evidence-based therapy services to children, teens, adults, and families in our rural community.
Comprehensive Counseling Options
Our private practice offers a variety of counseling options to cater to your unique needs. Whether you're seeking individual counseling or family therapy, we have the expertise to address a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.
Trauma-Informed Counseling
We understand the significance of trauma, especially for children. Our trauma-informed counseling approaches are tailored to help individuals who have experienced traumatic events, offering techniques such as trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy.
Parental Support
We are passionate about supporting parents in understanding and addressing their children's psychological and emotional needs. Our guidance ensures that families are equipped to provide the best support.
Confidentiality and Trust
Building trust and maintaining strict confidentiality are core values of our practice. You can trust that your sessions are private and safe environments for sharing your thoughts and feelings.
Cultural Competence
Our practice recognizes and respects the diverse backgrounds and identities of our clients. We provide culturally competent counseling, acknowledging that each individual's experience is unique and should be respected.
Child and Adolescent Counseling
Our child and adolescent counseling services are designed to address the specific challenges and developmental stages that young individuals face. We focus on issues such as school-related stress, peer relationships, behavioral concerns, and emotional well-being.
Psychoeducation
In addition to therapy, we provide psychoeducation to help you better understand your condition and how to manage it. This knowledge empowers you to take an active role in your healing and growth.
Evidence-Based Practices
Our practice is committed to staying current with the latest research and treatment modalities, ensuring you receive the most effective care available.
Collaboration
We collaborate with other professionals, including psychiatrists, social workers, and educators, to provide comprehensive care that meets your unique needs.
Accepted Insurance
Insurance Rates and Payment
What if my insurance doesn’t cover therapy?
If you would like to see us even though we are not on your insurance, we can provide specialized receipts (called “superbills”) that you can submit to your insurance provider. If the services are accepted by your insurance, they would then reimburse you at their out-of-network rate. Our individual clinician rates vary and are based on credentials and years of experience. Please contact us for more information about individual rates and services.
Out of Network Services and Billing:
-
This notice serves to address the new federal “no surprises” act that was enacted on 1/1/22 and clarify how it relates to the practice of psychology. All healthcare providers are now required to notify clients of their federal rights and protections against “surprise billing.” It requires that we notify you of your federally protected rights to receive a notification when services are rendered by an out-of-network provider, if a client is uninsured, or if a client elects not to use their insurance.
-
The “No Surprises” act should be very helpful in such situations and protect vulnerable patients. It carries the expectation that all potential services should be outlined ahead of time. The broad sweep of this act, though, encompasses outpatient healthcare providers and out-of-network psychologists who provide individual services, and where unexpected charges rarely occur. It presumes that clients may encounter unexplained charges throughout the course of psychotherapy. It also presumes that psychologists can accurately predict each client’s long-term cost of treatment. Both assumptions are not relevant to most outpatient psychotherapy practices.
-
We are required to provide you with a Good Faith Estimate of the cost of services if we are not in-network with your insurance company. Psychotherapy consists of individual appointments – not a service involving multiple providers, or a “package” limited to a set number of sessions. Most people enter psychotherapy quite aware that neither they nor the therapist can clearly predict how many sessions will be needed. We honor each client’s choices and goals along the way. Although we may offer my professional recommendations related to the benefits of weekly sessions or when fewer sessions are needed, we always leave it up to the client to decide when they wish to decrease the frequency of sessions or stop therapy.
