Cancelation Policies

At Atala Counseling Studio, I am a private pay practice and do not work directly with insurance companies.

This decision allows therapy to remain more personalized, confidential, and centered around your unique needs rather than the limitations often placed by insurance providers. Insurance companies typically require a mental health diagnosis, can dictate the length or frequency of treatment, and may request access to clinical records or treatment information.

Why Private Pay?

By remaining out of network, I am able to provide care that is collaborative, individualized, and guided by clinical judgment rather than insurance requirements. This also allows for greater flexibility in treatment approaches, session pacing, and the overall therapy experience.

Superbills

For clients who have out of network mental health benefits, I am happy to provide superbills upon request. A superbill is an itemized receipt that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement depending on your specific plan and coverage.

Because every insurance plan is different, reimbursement cannot be guaranteed. I encourage clients to contact their insurance provider directly to ask about out of network mental health benefits and reimbursement eligibility before beginning.

Telehealth and In person sessions

Atala Counseling Studio offers both in-person and virtual therapy sessions to meet you where you are.

In-person sessions are available for clients located in the Upstate of South Carolina who prefer the experience of meeting face-to-face in a warm, thoughtfully designed office setting.

Virtual sessions are available to residents throughout South Carolina through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. Many clients appreciate the flexibility of telehealth, which allows them to attend therapy from the comfort and privacy of their own home while maintaining the same level of care, connection, and support.

Whether we meet in person or online, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you move toward healing and growth.
