Big feelings. Hard days. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
Meltdowns, worry, school stress, or behavior that’s hard to understand? We help kids ages 3 and up, including children with neurodiversity, ADHD, trauma and anxiety, and we partner with you every step of the way. Most families start within a week.
When your child is struggling with worry, meltdowns, or behavior that’s hard to understand, it’s exhausting, and it’s hard to know what will actually help.
Our child counselors work with kids ages 3 and up at our Georgetown and Liberty Hill offices, using play therapy and other developmentally informed approaches so children can work through big feelings in the way they communicate best. You won’t be on the sidelines. We partner with parents every step of the way, and our care coordinator will help match your family with the right therapist.

Flexible Spending Accounts / Health Savings Accounts are often used for services with any of our clinicians. Contact your account provider to verify your allowable expenses.
Out-of-Network Benefits
Out-of-network benefits for most insurance companies can be used for individual therapy with our fully licensed counselors. When using out of network benefits, you will need to verify your benefits and then submit claims to your insurance provider. See our instructions and tools below to help you with this process.
Using Your Insurance as a Client.
Many clients can get part of their cost reimbursed through their plan’s out-of-network benefits. We are considered out-of-pocket and don’t bill insurance directly, however we help to simplify the process of using your benefits. Here’s how.
Step 1: Check your benefits
Use our free insurance checker (left), or call the member services number on your insurance card and ask:
- Do I have out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits?
- What is my out-of-network deductible, and how much have I met this year?
- After my deductible, what percentage do you reimburse?
- Do you reimburse sessions with associate-level counselors (LPC-Associate or LMFT-Associate)?
- Are family sessions covered? Are couples sessions covered?
Who’s eligible
Sessions with our fully licensed therapists (LPC, LMFT, LCSW) are often eligible for out-of-network reimbursement. Some insurance plans also reimburse sessions with our associate-level counselors, but please check with your plan first. Intern sessions are generally not eligible. Our interns and associates offer lower-cost sessions for families paying out of pocket.
Step 2: Save your invoices
Your invoices include the codes and provider information your insurance needs (often called a “superbill”). Our client portal will email you those superbill invoices after each session.
Step 3: Submit your claims
Submit invoices directly to your insurance company, or use a service like Reimbursify to make it easier: https://reimbursify.com/individual-page/. We receive nothing from Reimbursify; some clients simply find it helpful. Expect reimbursement to take several weeks, and keep copies of everything.
Good to know
Insurance companies require a diagnosis to process a claim, and it becomes part of your (or your child’s) insurance record. Many families are comfortable with that. Some prefer to keep counseling fully private, and paying out of pocket without filing is always an option.
