"The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.”

Rosana Alaniz, LCSW #92772

What to Expect

Sessions are 45-55 minutes and will take place on a weekly or bi-weekly (every other week) schedule. The length of treatment will vary per client. Some clients find success in as little as eight sessions, while others can take over a year.

The goal is for clients to be successful in living a better life. Clients who experience the greatest success from sessions are honest with their feelings and experiences, open to suggestions, willing to try different approaches, and dedicated to persevering.

Good Faith Estimate Notice

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, healthcare providers and healthcare facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal healthcare program or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

  • You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

  • Under the law, healthcare providers must give patients who don’t have insurance or are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

  • Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
