I don’t bill insurance directly. However, I can provide a superbill—an itemized receipt—that you can submit to your insurance provider for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Every plan is different, so it’s worth calling your provider to ask if/ how much they will reimburse. Payment is due at the time of each session. I can also provide a good faith estimate to ensure there are no surprises on your bill.

As an AMFT (#151296), I’m a pre-licensed therapist working under the supervision of Dr. Tracy P. Smith, PSY 24366, through Grateful Heart Holistic Therapy Center. This means I’ve completed my master’s degree and clinical training, and I’m now deepening my experience toward full licensure. You still receive professional, compassionate care—the supervision model simply ensures additional support and consultation for your benefit.

IFS is a gentle, evidence-based approach that views each of us as having different “parts” that make up our inner world—like the parts that protect, the ones that carry pain, or the ones that long for connection. In therapy, we work together to get to know these parts with curiosity and compassion, helping you access your own inner wisdom (your Self) for healing and growth.
