    We encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to verify your coverage, especially if you have a new health plan or are visiting us for the first time.

We offer both a self-pay/private pay option as well as a sliding scale fee based on your individual circumstances. Clients interested in either of these options will discuss the details with their therapist prior to their first session.

    Please note that if you carry a Medicaid plan that we do not accept, such as UHC Community Plan or Wellpoint, we are legally unable to charge you out of pocket for services.

  • A: Getting started is simple!

    Fill out an inquiry form for your age group and our intake coordinator will review it. If we are able to accommodate you, you will receive the necessary paperwork to get started. If not, you will be added to our waitlist and contacted when a spot becomes available.

  • A: You get to choose! We recommend browsing our team page and reading through the bios of clinicians you think might be a good fit for you.

    Please note that even if a clinician's profile states they are not currently accepting clients, you are still welcome to select them on the inquiry form as availability can change quickly. We do our best to match you with someone from your list. If no one you selected has availability, our intake coordinator may suggest a different therapist they feel could be a great fit — and you still have the final say on whether you'd like to work with them.

    Please also be aware that some clinicians only work with specific age groups. When filling out your inquiry form, only the clinicians who work with your or your kiddos age group will appear as options. For example, all of our clinicians are available for adult clients (18+), however some do not work with younger age groups. This ensures you are only choosing from therapists who are qualified and available to work with you or your kiddo.

  • A: Waitlist times can vary depending on your preferences and needs:

    • Specific Therapist – If you are hoping to work with a particular clinician, waitlist times will depend on their current availability. In general, you can expect to wait approximately 6 months or longer.

    • General Availability – If you are open to working with any member of our team, the wait time is typically around 1 to 2 months.

    Please know that we do our best to get you connected with care as quickly as possible, and our intake coordinator will reach out as soon as a spot becomes available.

  • A: Once our intake coordinator has sent your initial paperwork and you have completed it, your therapist will reach out directly to schedule your first session. Please note that each therapist sets their own hours and availability, so scheduling will be coordinated with your assigned therapist.

  • A: Our primary form of communication is email. For any questions or inquiries, please reach out to us at info@wildheartsociety.org and our team will be happy to assist you.

    We do have a phone number available, however it is not always staffed. If you choose to call, please leave a message with your name and a good callback number — please note that our team is unable to return calls without a voicemail left. We strive to return all calls within 2 business days.

    Additionally, your therapist will likely reach out to you via email as well. During your first session, you and your therapist will discuss the best ways to stay in contact going forward.
