As an out-of-network provider, Shine the Light Counseling does not accept insurance. However, we will help you submit for reimbursement through your insurance company by providing “superbills,” or detailed receipts of services, if you choose to do so.

Any psychotherapy services covered by insurance require a formal diagnosis (whether in or out of network). We will work with you to understand the best diagnosis for you. If you do not wish to receive a diagnosis or it is not merited, that is your right; however, insurance will not cover costs.

Check with your insurance provider ahead of beginning appointments to understand their reimbursement policy. Each policy is different; some cover the majority of the session costs, while others do not cover any out-of-network expenses. Call the number on the back of your insurance card for more information.
