Sessions are typically 45 to 50 minutes in length with the first session focused upon gathering history and setting initial goals and plans to move forward.

Berndt and Associates in PsychCare, LLC assists clients in accessing their mental health benefits and participates in several insurance plan networks. Prior to scheduling an appointment, it is best to check with your insurance carrier to determine if you have mental health coverage benefits, the amount of coverage available; requirements for pre-authorization; and what your financial responsibility is in the process. Clients are responsible for pre-authorization for all services rendered.

Cash, check, and credit/debit cards are all welcome.

Under the law, confidentiality of all communications between a client and a psychotherapist is protected from disclosure unless prior written consent is obtained from the client for a specific type of disclosure. There are two key exceptions to this limitation however which involve suspected child or elder abuse; and threatening serious bodily harm to self or others. A more detailed discussion of these limitations will be reviewed during the first therapy session with your provider.

At Berndt and Associates in PsychCare, LLC we work in collaboration with Psychiatrists and other prescribers in the community to address any medication needs of our clients and to ensure continuity of care and the safe, effective use of medications to help target specific symptom relief.
