Frequently Asked Questions

While we do not accept insurance directly, we provide high-quality, personalized care that prioritizes your needs and goals. We choose not to work with insurance companies in order to avoid restrictions that may limit the type of care we can offer. By not accepting insurance, we can offer more flexibility in treatment, ensuring that you receive the best care possible without interference from insurance policies. This allows for a more collaborative and tailored approach to your healing process.

Although we are out-of-network with insurance companies, many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits. To help you access these benefits, we provide a Superbill after each session. A Superbill is an itemized invoice that contains the information your insurance company needs to process a claim for reimbursement. You can submit this Superbill to your insurance provider directly for reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider to confirm your out-of-network benefits and the process for submitting a claim.

We accept payment via cash/check, credit card, debit card, and HSA/FSA cards. We accept Zelle and Venmo payments for your convenience as well. We are also partnered with CareCredit to offer financing programs that allow you to pay your balance over time with delayed interest. Ask about an application for CareCredit and thresholds to use this form of payment.

Payment is due at the time of service, and you can securely pay through our online portal or in person.

We understand that life can get busy! If you need to cancel or reschedule a regular 1-hour appointment, please give at least 24 business hours' notice to avoid a cancellation fee. This allows us to accommodate other clients who may be waiting for an appointment. Cancellations within 24 hours of the appointment will be subject to a fee.

Note that cancellation policies for EMDR Intensives (1+ hours) differ from our regular policies due to the time commitment and advanced scheduling. An additional 25% fee will apply for any requests to reschedule or cancel an EMDR Intensive less than 48 business hours prior to the start time.

Yes, we offer both the option to come into our Pantops office (Charlottesville), or set up a virtual appointment. Our flexibility in offering virtual care helps clients to still engage in therapy if they are unable to come in due to travel, weather, sickness, or childcare or work obligations. Just be sure to text or email your therapist ahead of time and you will be sent a link to join your virtual session.

Our pre-licensed therapists include graduate level-interns and Residents in Counseling, and they are an excellent resource for our community. They bring with them fresh perspectives with knowledge of the newest trainings and theoretical approaches, and they are eager to learn more skills to help you. Plus, their rates tend to me more cost-effective compared with licensed therapists in the community, allowing you the opportunity for growth while also supporting the training of a future licensed therapist.

Our pre-licensed therapists have ongoing training and are under supervision by a trained trauma therapist to ensure their work is delivered in an effective and ethical manner. Trainees are required to submit video clips of their sessions to be reviewed by the Supervisor to ensure they are adhering to ethical practices.

We like to meet with potential clients before scheduling an intake so that we can talk through your goals and make sure we're a good fit! You can schedule your consultation directly by using our online portal - https://skylinementalhealth.clientsecure.me/ and select "I am a New Client".

Once we've met and decide to move forward, you can schedule your intake with your therapist via email, or use your unique log-in to view your therapist's full schedule.

Our 20- minute consultations are virtual (audio & video) and give you the opportunity to meet your potential therapist to share why you're seeking therapy, to ask questions and figure out a plan together. Your therapist may ask you a few questions to best understand your needs and whether we can make any other recomendations. You don't have to dive deep into anything during this time -- think of this as telling your therapist the Cliffs Notes!
