How fees work
The answers to what parents ask before booking a first session.
Insurance we work with
Kindle bills some commercial plans, such as PPO plans, for the visits your plan covers. It does not bill Medicaid or Medicare; if your teen is on Medicaid, we will help you find a counselor who does.
Some commercial plans, such as PPO plans
No Medicaid or Medicare
If you pay yourself
A session is 50 minutes. Your fee is given in writing before you start, and it depends on the kind of session: a teen's, a parent's or a family's. A limited number of reduced-fee spots are open; ask how to request one. We take HSA and FSA cards. We ask for 24 hours' notice to change an appointment.
Receipts for reimbursement
Each month we give you an itemized receipt (a superbill) with the dates and kind of session, to send to your plan, which may reimburse part of the cost. It carries a diagnosis code, and plan notices usually go to the person who holds the policy. If that matters for your teen, ask us before you use it. Your plan decides whether it pays anything.
An estimate in advance
If you pay without insurance, you have the right to receive a written Good Faith Estimate of what your care will cost before you start. We give you one before the first session. If the final bill is $400 or more above the estimate, you can dispute it. The estimate is not a contract.
Checking your benefits
Before the first session we check your plan's benefits for outpatient counseling and tell you what we found, in writing. You can also call the number on your card and ask what it covers.
Questions
What teens and parents ask first
Does a parent have to sign me up?
Yes. A parent or legal guardian signs consent before a first session with anyone under 18. After that, what you say in sessions stays between you and Kenyatta, with a few limits she explains.
Will my parents hear what I say in sessions?
No. They hear that you came, how often, and how things are going in broad terms. Kenyatta tells a parent right away only if she believes someone is in serious danger. The page for teens has the plain version.
How much does it cost, and how do fees work?
Your fee is given in writing before you start. It depends on the kind of session. A limited number of reduced-fee spots are open; ask how to request one. How fees work answers the rest.
Do you take my insurance?
Kindle bills some commercial plans, such as PPO plans, and does not bill Medicaid or Medicare. Before the first session we check your benefits and tell you in writing what we found.
What happens in the first session?
It is 50 minutes. A parent and the teen start together, so everyone hears the same ground rules, and then the parent steps out. Kenyatta explains how she works, what stays private and the possible risks and benefits of counseling. Then she listens.
What do I do in a crisis?
Call or text 988 any time, or call 911 in an emergency. This site and our messages are not monitored around the clock, so do not wait for us to answer.
