Insurance coverage varies. We are currently a private-pay, out-of-network provider. While we don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. We have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay your co-insurance for our sessions, instead of paying our full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This can save you on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, we can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your co-insurance would be.

We offer individual, family and group therapy. We also offer an Eating Disorder Transitional Aftercare Program for individuals stepping down from or who have stepped down from intensive treatment within the last year.

We provide therapy in various modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)*, Psychodynamic, Polyvagal, Experiential, Internal Family Systems (IFS-informed). Robyn Caruso is Basic Trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). This therapy can be done concurrently while working with another therapist (with care coordination) as symptoms may resolve/improve within 1-5 sessions and you do not have to share details of the story if you do not want to. Please note results depend on many factors and everyone responds differently. More information about ART can be found here: Accelerated Resolution Therapy - Treating Trauma *Please note we utilize a DBT-informed approach, which means we teach DBT skills in session and we do not offer comprehensive DBT. Where indicated, we incorporate the diary-card, behavior chain analysis and other DBT methodologies.

The Eating Disorder Transitional Aftercare Program is designed for those who've recently transitioned from intensive treatment, whether that treatment was primarily for eating disorders or other issues like substance use or mental health challenges. The heart of this program is to focus squarely on the complexities of eating disorders and the myriad issues that intertwine with them. This program isn't a one-size-fits-all; it's tailored to fit where you are in your journey. It includes a mix of group sessions, individual therapy, and family therapy, depending on what resonates with your needs. It's not about replacing the support systems you already have in place – it's about complementing them. If you're already working with a therapist, great, you can still join a group within our program to add another layer of support. We understand that the road post-intensive treatment can be rocky. The transition back into the rhythms of daily life – managing body image, navigating relationships, handling the practicalities of grocery shopping, school, work – can be overwhelming. Our program is here to offer you the skills and support to integrate these parts of your life more smoothly, to help you stand strong against the challenges that often arise after stepping down from intensive care. And remember, sometimes the need for support might not be immediate. It could be several months post-stepdown when you realize that extra support could be the key to preventing a return to more intensive care. That's okay. We're here, ready to provide that support, whenever you're ready to reach out.

You can contact your therapist via a HIPAA compliant SimplePractice secure messaging platform or via phone. We generally respond to messages within 24 hours on business days. For scheduling or urgent matters, please use the contact details provided during your intake session.

In case of an emergency, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. While we provide support during therapy hours, we are not an emergency service. Once your emergency has been tended to, please reach out to us to let us know if we may support by coordinating care with the facility. We will require the facility to send us a signed release of information form completed by you giving us permission to share information.

The frequency of sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. Clients start with weekly sessions, with adjustments made as progress is observed.

For individual and family sessions, we assess a late-cancellation/no-show fee equivalent to the session fee if you do not contact us to cancel outside of 24-hours prior to your scheduled session time. This means that if you have a session at 9:00 am Tuesday, you would need to cancel your session prior to 9:00 am Monday in order to avoid assessment of the fee. For group sessions, we assess a late-cancellation/no-show fee equivalent to the session fee if you do not contact us to cancel outside of 48-hours prior to your scheduled session time. This means that if you have a group at 5:00 pm Monday, you would need to cancel your session prior to 5:00 pm Saturday in order to avoid assessment of the fee.
