Will therapy be affordable?
Will my insurance plan cover sessions?
Does this therapist take my insurance?
These are all important questions to consider—and finding the right fit and affordable provider matters. Please feel free to review policies and fees regarding access to care (including Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage) for more information.
