Reaching out

What to expect

Reaching out for help is never easy. To help you feel comfortable before meeting, I offer a free 15-20 minute consultation via phone to assure we are a good fit. If we decide to move forward we can set up a time to meet.

Currently, I am only offering services via Telehealth/Video Sessions. I utilize a HIPAA compliant platform for sessions.

My Approach

I draw from multiple psychodynamic interventions to help my clients reach their full potential. I work to tailor my services to what each individual client needs. I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy techniques and encourage Mindfulness practices frequently when working with clients. I consider myself an interactive therapist and work to challenge my clients on their thinking to help them grow to their full potential and increase their quality of life.

Insurance and Fees

I am in network with multiple insurance providers in the state of Massachusetts and Vermont. I also offer out of network services and private pay rates.

Insurance Providers I am In-network with:

Blue Cross Blue Shield

Harvard Pilgrim

Mass General Brigham Health Plan

Optum/United Healthcare

** I encourage all clients to contact their insurance provider to verify I am a in network provider if you plan to use insurance coverage for services.

My current Private Pay rate is $175. I am willing to offer a sliding scale to clients with difficult financial circumstances on a case by case basis.

** I will provide a “Good Faith Estimate” to all private pay clients on a yearly basis for anticipated services.

Forms of Payment

I prefer to accept payment via my secure HIPAA compliant platform. I also accept cash or check payments.

Contact@MichelleAdamsLMHC.com

Please contact me by phone or email if you would like to learn more about my services or schedule an appointment. I am in the office Tuesday – Friday and make an effort to respond to inquiries within 48 hours.

A NOTE ABOUT EMAIL: My practice email address is considered to be “HIPAA-compliant.” However, e-mail is not a secure medium, therefore I cannot guarantee the confidentiality of e-mail messages. Please use discretion when sending information that is sensitive in nature. I generally use e-mail for scheduling purposes only. If you need to leave a more detailed message, I recommend using voicemail.

Contact and Cancellations

The best way to set up an appointment is by email. If you need to cancel I request that clients give me 24 hours notice to avoid incurring a late fee.
