Therapy for Therapists: Healing the Person Behind the Professional

You may be a therapist, but you are also a person with your own history, relationships, losses, fears, needs, and pain.

You can understand trauma and still be affected by what happened to you. You can recognize an unhealthy pattern and still feel unable to leave it. You can teach coping skills and still become overwhelmed. You can help another person establish boundaries while struggling to protect your own.

Clinical knowledge does not remove your humanity.

You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, divorce, betrayal, emotional abuse, family conflict, attachment wounds, health changes, loneliness, or a life transition that has left you uncertain about who you are.

At the same time, you may continue moving through your days as though everything is manageable. People still depend on you. Responsibilities continue. Your personal life does not pause simply because you need time to process what is happening.

Online therapy for therapists gives you a confidential space where your life comes first.

You do not have to organize your pain into a case conceptualization. You do not have to speak in clinical language, demonstrate insight, or already know which intervention you need.

Here, you are not responsible for directing the session, protecting the therapist, or having the right answer.

You are allowed to be the person receiving care.

Understanding What Is Happening Does Not Mean You Can Heal It Alone

You may know why you respond the way you do.

You may recognize your attachment pattern, identify the cognitive distortion, name the trauma response, and understand which part of you has been activated.

That insight may be accurate and still fail to provide relief.

Knowing the origin of a wound is not the same as having a safe relationship in which to heal it. Understanding grief does not make loss less painful. Recognizing emotional abuse does not automatically remove attachment, hope, fear, or confusion.

You may know what you would say to a client in your circumstances and still be unable to offer the same compassion to yourself.

When the experience belongs to you, it is not a clinical exercise.

It is your marriage, your family, your body, your loss, your fear, and your future.

You are inside the story rather than observing it from the outside.

Therapy provides something self-analysis cannot: another person who can remain present with you, notice what may be difficult for you to see, challenge you when needed, and help you carry what has become too heavy to hold alone.

You Do Not Have to Become Your Own Therapist

You may be accustomed to analyzing your thoughts and reactions.

When something painful happens, you may move quickly into assessment:

  • “Why am I reacting this way?”

  • “Is this an attachment response?”

  • “Am I projecting?”

  • “Is this a cognitive distortion?”

  • “Which part is activated?”

  • “Should I be regulating this better?”

  • “What would I tell a client?”

  • “Why am I not using the skills I already know?”

Self-awareness can be valuable, but constant analysis can also create distance from your emotional experience.

You may explain the feeling instead of feeling it. You may transform grief into theory, anger into formulation, and fear into a problem that should already be solved.

Sometimes the clinical explanation is correct—and you still need to cry, grieve, rage, question, or admit that you do not know what to do.

In personal therapy, you do not have to evaluate every emotion while you are experiencing it.

You can stop observing yourself long enough to be yourself.

You Are Allowed to Arrive Without the Answer

Therapists are often expected to be emotionally aware, articulate, and capable of identifying what they need.

You may bring that expectation into your own therapy.

You may feel pressure to explain the problem clearly, identify your goal, select the appropriate modality, and demonstrate that you have already considered every possible interpretation.

But you may not know what is wrong.

You may only know that you feel different, disconnected, angry, exhausted, frightened, lonely, or unable to continue in the same way.

You may have several competing explanations. You may change your mind. You may understand the situation one week and feel completely confused by it the next.

That is allowed.

You do not need to arrive as a well-prepared clinician. You can arrive as a person whose life has become difficult.

We can begin with what you know and make sense of the rest together.

When Your Childhood Still Affects Your Adult Life

Becoming a therapist does not erase the experiences that shaped you.

You may have developed insight into your childhood while continuing to carry its emotional impact.

Perhaps you grew up with abuse, neglect, addiction, instability, criticism, parentification, emotional unavailability, or the expectation that you would manage the feelings of the adults around you.

You may have learned to:

  • Monitor other people’s moods

  • Become useful in order to feel valued

  • Remain calm during chaos

  • Suppress your own needs

  • Perform well to avoid criticism

  • Take responsibility for problems you did not create

  • Stay emotionally available even when no one was available to you

  • Find meaning in helping other people

  • Ignore your limits until you became exhausted

  • Believe that needing care made you weak or demanding

These adaptations may have contributed to strengths you genuinely value. They may also affect your relationships, boundaries, self-worth, and ability to receive care.

Therapy can help you understand the story behind these patterns without reducing your entire professional identity to your trauma.

You can value the therapist you became while still grieving what the younger version of you needed.

Depression Does Not Always Look Like an Inability to Function

You may continue meeting responsibilities while privately experiencing depression.

You may complete your work, return messages, care for your family, and appear engaged. Other people may not recognize how emotionally depleted you feel.

Depression may look like:

  • Functioning on autopilot

  • Feeling disconnected from your personal life

  • Losing interest in activities you once enjoyed

  • Withdrawing when you are no longer required to be present

  • Feeling emotionally numb

  • Becoming increasingly irritable

  • Struggling to make basic decisions

  • Sleeping without feeling rested

  • Neglecting your own needs

  • Feeling guilty because you believe you should be coping better

  • Wondering whether you have anything left for yourself

  • Feeling hopeless about your ability to change your circumstances

Your ability to continue functioning does not mean the depression is insignificant.

You do not have to wait until you can no longer care for other people before receiving care for yourself.

Anxiety Can Hide Behind Competence

Anxiety may appear as preparedness, responsibility, perfectionism, or the need to anticipate every possible outcome.

You may spend hours replaying conversations, researching decisions, or questioning whether you missed something important. You may struggle to rest while an unresolved problem exists.

Anxiety may affect your relationships, health, sleep, confidence, and ability to remain present in your own life.

You may experience:

  • Persistent worry

  • Racing thoughts

  • Decision paralysis

  • Physical tension

  • Difficulty sleeping

  • Fear of making mistakes

  • Reassurance-seeking

  • Perfectionism

  • People-pleasing

  • Overexplaining

  • Fear of conflict

  • Hypervigilance

  • A constant sense that something requires your attention

Understanding anxiety does not prevent your nervous system from experiencing it.

You deserve more than the expectation that you should already know how to calm yourself.

Your Relationships Can Still Confuse and Hurt You

Clinical training does not make relationships simple.

You may understand attachment, communication, boundaries, and emotional regulation while struggling inside a relationship that activates your deepest wounds.

You may love someone who is emotionally unavailable. You may remain hopeful despite repeated disappointment. You may question whether your expectations are reasonable or whether you are interpreting the situation accurately.

You may be coping with:

  • Communication problems

  • Emotional distance

  • Fear of abandonment

  • Difficulty trusting

  • Betrayal or infidelity

  • Unequal emotional labor

  • People-pleasing

  • Family conflict

  • Friendship loss

  • Loneliness within a relationship

  • Uncertainty about whether to stay or leave

  • Difficulty receiving love

  • Repeating painful relationship patterns

You may know the correct language for what is happening and still feel completely lost inside it.

Therapy gives you a place to explore your relationship without needing to defend your intelligence or explain why your insight did not protect you.

Knowledge does not make you immune to attachment, hope, fear, love, or grief.

Divorce Can Disrupt the Life You Thought You Understood

Divorce can change your identity, home, finances, parenting, community, and understanding of the future.

You may feel embarrassed that your relationship ended or worry that another therapist will analyze how you failed to recognize or repair the problems.

You may wonder how you can help other people with relationships while your own marriage is ending.

Your divorce is not evidence that you are professionally inadequate.

It is a painful human experience that may involve grief, betrayal, anger, relief, fear, loneliness, and uncertainty.

You may need space to process:

  • The loss of your marriage

  • The future you expected

  • Changes in parenting or family life

  • Betrayal

  • Financial insecurity

  • Emotional or narcissistic abuse

  • High-conflict communication

  • Starting over

  • Dating and trusting again

  • Who you are outside the relationship

You do not have to turn your divorce into a lesson before you have had time to experience it as a loss.

Emotional Abuse Can Affect Anyone

Therapists can experience emotional abuse, coercive control, gaslighting, manipulation, and narcissistic abuse.

Recognizing these behaviors in theory does not guarantee that they will be immediately recognizable inside a relationship involving love, history, attachment, finances, children, hope, or fear.

Abuse often develops gradually. Harmful behavior may alternate with affection, promises, vulnerability, or periods of calm. You may understand the pattern and still feel emotionally attached to the person.

You may question yourself:

  • “How did I not recognize this?”

  • “Why did I stay?”

  • “What does this say about me as a therapist?”

  • “Am I overreacting?”

  • “Should I have handled this differently?”

  • “Will anyone believe me?”

  • “How can I help other people when I allowed this in my own life?”

Experiencing abuse does not mean you lacked knowledge, intelligence, boundaries, or professional competence.

The responsibility belongs to the person who chose abusive behavior.

Therapy can help you understand what happened, process grief and betrayal, rebuild trust in yourself, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with the parts of you that became quiet in order to survive the relationship.

Grief Does Not Become Easier Because You Understand It

You may understand the grieving process and still feel unprepared for your own loss.

Grief may follow death, divorce, estrangement, infertility, pregnancy loss, illness, retirement, relocation, friendship loss, family changes, or the recognition that something you hoped for will never happen.

Your grief may not follow a sequence. It may appear through anger, numbness, exhaustion, forgetfulness, physical pain, anxiety, relief, guilt, or the inability to imagine a future that feels meaningful.

You may notice yourself explaining the grief rather than allowing yourself to experience it.

You may also feel pressure to remain emotionally available to others before you have had space to understand your own loss.

Personal therapy gives your grief somewhere to exist without requiring you to make it useful, educational, or clinically meaningful.

Your grief does not have to become professional growth.

It can simply be grief.

Family Relationships Can Reach the Oldest Parts of You

You may understand family systems and still become the child you once were when interacting with a parent or sibling.

A particular tone, criticism, expectation, or family gathering may activate emotions that feel immediate and difficult to regulate.

You may struggle with:

  • A critical or emotionally unavailable parent

  • Parentification

  • Sibling conflict

  • Favoritism

  • Family estrangement

  • Caregiving expectations

  • Pressure to maintain contact

  • Guilt when setting boundaries

  • Family secrets

  • Religious or cultural expectations

  • Adult children and changing parenting roles

  • Grief for the family relationship you needed but never received

Insight may help explain the pattern, but it does not automatically remove longing, guilt, anger, or attachment.

Therapy can help you decide what kind of relationship is possible, what boundaries are needed, and how to grieve what another person may never be able to provide.

Health, Body, and Aging Concerns Deserve Their Own Space

You may be coping with a health diagnosis, chronic pain, disability, hormonal changes, menopause, infertility, body changes, medication effects, or fear about aging.

These experiences can affect identity, sexuality, confidence, relationships, independence, and your understanding of the future.

You may feel pressure to discuss these concerns rationally or minimize them because other people face more serious conditions.

But your body is where you live.

Changes in your body can affect how you recognize yourself and how safe you feel moving through the world.

Therapy can provide space to process fear, grief, anger, shame, uncertainty, and the complicated relationship between your physical and emotional health.

You are allowed to care about what is happening to your body without apologizing for it.

You May Be Tired of Being the Strong One in Your Personal Life

Your family and friends may also experience you as the calm, insightful, or emotionally capable person.

They may seek your advice, expect you to mediate conflict, or assume that you do not need the same level of support.

You may become the therapist in relationships where you need to be a partner, friend, sibling, parent, or person with needs of your own.

Over time, you may feel invisible.

You may know a great deal about the people you love while realizing that few people know what is happening inside you.

Therapy can help you examine the roles you occupy in your personal relationships and whether they allow room for mutual care.

You deserve relationships in which you are not valued only for what you can understand, fix, carry, or provide.

Personal Pain Does Not Wait Until Your Schedule Is Clear

Your life can become painful while you continue meeting responsibilities.

A relationship may be ending. A family member may be ill. You may be waiting for medical results, grieving a death, moving homes, or trying to understand a betrayal.

The difficulty is not that your work is the center of your pain. It is that your personal life continues while the rest of your life also requires your presence.

You may have limited space in which to fall apart, think, grieve, or decide what comes next.

This can create a painful division between how you function publicly and how you feel privately.

Therapy can give you a consistent place where you do not have to postpone your emotional life until everything else is handled.

You should not have to reach complete collapse before your needs become important.

Fear of Being Judged by Another Therapist

Seeking therapy from another clinician can feel vulnerable.

You may worry that you will be evaluated rather than understood. You may wonder whether your therapist will question your competence, analyze your work, or expect you to behave like a particularly knowledgeable client.

You may fear being judged for:

  • Remaining in an unhealthy relationship

  • Repeating a pattern you understand intellectually

  • Struggling to use coping skills

  • Feeling jealous, angry, ashamed, or dependent

  • Not recognizing abuse sooner

  • Experiencing symptoms you treat in others

  • Having an imperfect personal life

  • Needing medication

  • Not knowing what you need

  • Finding therapy difficult

  • Disagreeing with an interpretation

  • Wanting support without discussing your profession

You do not need to earn the right to be treated as a person.

Personal therapy should not become an examination of your clinical ability.

Your therapist should be able to respect your knowledge without requiring you to perform it.

You Decide How Much Your Professional Identity Enters the Room

Being a therapist is part of your life, but it does not have to dominate your personal therapy.

There may be times when your work is relevant. A personal experience may affect your emotional availability, activate a memory, or make it harder to maintain the separation between your life and another person’s story.

We can discuss that when it matters to you.

But your therapy does not need to revolve around clients, caseloads, clinical decisions, or professional development.

You are allowed to spend an entire session discussing your marriage, parent, body, loneliness, grief, or fear without connecting it to the work you do.

You determine what you bring into the room.

Personal Therapy Is Not Clinical Supervision

Personal therapy, clinical supervision, and professional consultation serve different purposes.

Personal therapy focuses on your emotional well-being, life experiences, relationships, symptoms, healing, and personal goals.

Clinical supervision focuses on professional development, ethical practice, clinical competency, client care, and responsibilities connected to licensure or supervision requirements.

Consultation generally focuses on a particular professional question, case concern, or area of practice.

Personal therapy may include discussion of how your own experiences affect you, including experiences connected to your work. However, it is not a substitute for required clinical supervision, consultation, legal advice, or professional guidance.

The distinction protects your right to have a space centered on you.

Confidentiality and Professional Dignity Matter

Therapists may have particular concerns about privacy.

You may worry about being recognized, sharing a professional community with your therapist, using insurance, or having personal information documented.

Your questions about privacy deserve direct and respectful answers.

Personal therapy is subject to the same informed-consent, privacy, documentation, legal, and ethical requirements that apply to other clients. Confidentiality also has legally and ethically required limitations, which should be explained as part of the informed-consent process.

You are allowed to ask questions about:

  • Documentation

  • Electronic records

  • Insurance claims

  • Communication between sessions

  • Professional overlap

  • Conflicts of interest

  • Consultation

  • Privacy during online sessions

  • Limits of confidentiality

Seeking therapy does not diminish your professional dignity.

It reflects your right to receive healthcare and emotional support as a whole person.

Therapists Need Therapy for the Same Human Reasons as Anyone Else

Therapists do not exist outside the realities of human life.

You may have childhood experiences that continue to affect you. You may become depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted. You may fall in love with someone who hurts you, remain in a relationship longer than you expected, lose someone important, struggle with your body, question your identity, or reach a point when the life you built no longer feels like your own.

You may seek therapy because of:

  • Childhood trauma or emotional neglect

  • Complex PTSD

  • Depression or emotional exhaustion

  • Anxiety, panic, or chronic overthinking

  • Emotional or narcissistic abuse

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Separation or divorce

  • Betrayal or infidelity

  • Family conflict or estrangement

  • Attachment wounds

  • Grief and loss

  • Caregiving responsibilities

  • Boundaries and people-pleasing

  • Perfectionism and self-criticism

  • Loneliness or isolation

  • Health concerns

  • Body image

  • Perimenopause, menopause, or aging

  • Parenting or changes involving adult children

  • Career or financial stress

  • Identity changes

  • Religious or spiritual questions

  • Major life transitions

  • The realization that you are no longer willing to live as you have been living

You do not need a professionally unique reason to seek therapy.

Your pain does not have to be connected to your work before it deserves attention.

Depending on your needs and goals, our work may include:

Treatment is individualized. You do not have to select a modality or arrive with a treatment plan.

We will determine together what may be helpful.

Types of Therapy I May Use

Therapy is tailored to your history, concerns, preferences, and goals. I may integrate:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you make room for difficult emotions, clarify your values, and move toward a meaningful life.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address self-criticism, shame, catastrophic thinking, and unhelpful beliefs.

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy to support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, communication, and boundaries.

  • Internal Family Systems to understand the parts of you that protect, please, criticize, withdraw, or carry pain.

  • Attachment-Based Therapy to explore trust, closeness, abandonment, and recurring relationship patterns.

  • EMDR when trauma, betrayal, abuse, loss, or painful memories continue to affect the present.

  • Existential Therapy to explore identity, loneliness, freedom, responsibility, meaning, aging, and life direction.

These approaches may be used separately or combined within a trauma-informed treatment plan designed around you.

What Therapy With Me Is Like

You do not need to minimize your knowledge, and you do not need to display it.

I will respect your professional experience without treating you like a colleague when you need a therapist.

I am not a silent, distant therapist who expects you to carry the entire conversation alone. I am engaged and collaborative. I will ask questions, help you make connections, offer education when useful, and provide honest feedback when appropriate.

You will not be expected to interpret yourself for me.

You can use clinical language when it helps and ordinary language when it does not. You can say, “I know what this is, but I do not know what to do with it.” You can also say, “I have no idea why I feel this way.”

We can begin in either place.

Therapy will move at a pace that respects your nervous system, readiness, and capacity. You will not be pressured to disclose painful experiences before sufficient trust and stability have developed.

You are allowed to ask questions, disagree, change direction, and say when something does not feel helpful.

This is your therapy.

An Affirming Space for the Whole of Who You Are

You should not have to separate parts of your identity in order to receive respectful care.

My practice is body-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, BIPOC affirming, kink-positive, and polyamory-positive.

Your sexuality, gender identity, body, cultural background, relationship structure, spiritual beliefs, or personal values will not automatically be treated as problems to solve.

Affirming therapy does not mean avoiding difficult conversations. It means those conversations can happen without requiring you to defend your right to exist, love, relate, or live authentically.

Online Therapy Can Give You Greater Privacy and Flexibility

Online therapy allows you to attend from a private location without entering a waiting room or traveling to another clinician’s office.

It may be helpful if you:

  • Have a demanding schedule

  • Live far from a therapist who feels like an appropriate fit

  • Prefer greater physical privacy

  • Have limited energy or mobility

  • Feel more comfortable speaking from a familiar environment

  • Want to avoid unnecessary professional overlap

  • Need to reduce travel time

You must be physically located in a state where I am licensed or otherwise authorized to practice at the time of your appointment.

I currently provide online individual therapy to adults located in Texas, Colorado, and Florida.

You Hold Space for Everyone Else. Who Holds Space for You?

As a therapist, you're trained to recognize patterns, regulate emotions, and help others navigate some of the most difficult moments of their lives. You spend your days offering compassion, insight, and support while carrying the emotional weight of your clients' stories.

But being the one who helps everyone else doesn't make you immune to stress, trauma, grief, burnout, anxiety, or your own unresolved pain.

You deserve a place where you don't have to be the therapist.

You deserve to simply be human.

You Can Know the Theory and Still Be Hurting

One of the greatest misconceptions therapists carry is the belief that because we understand psychology, we should be able to heal ourselves.

But insight alone doesn't heal trauma.

Understanding attachment theory doesn't erase attachment wounds.

Teaching self-compassion doesn't automatically quiet your own Inner Critic.

Professional knowledge is incredibly valuable—but it doesn't replace having a safe relationship where you can process your own experiences, emotions, and pain.

Just as physicians deserve medical care, therapists deserve therapy.

You Don't Have to Be the Therapist Here

One concern I often hear is:

"What if I can't turn off my therapist brain?"

The answer is...

You don't have to.

You don't need to analyze yourself.

You don't need to explain every intervention you've already tried.

You don't need to impress me with your knowledge.

You don't need to have all the answers.

Most importantly...

You don't have to perform.

This is your space to set down the therapist role and simply be human.

Together, we'll focus on healing the person behind the professional.

Begin Your Own Healing Journey

You spend your career helping others reconnect with themselves after trauma.

Now it's your turn.

Healing isn't about becoming a better therapist.

It's about becoming the person you were always meant to be before trauma taught you who you had to become.

If you're ready to heal unresolved childhood trauma, reconnect with your authentic self, and move beyond survival, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

I provide secure online therapy for therapists throughout Texas, Colorado, and Florida.

Because the therapist is only one part of who you are. Together, we'll focus on healing the person behind the professional.

You Do Not Have to Earn the Right to Receive Care

You spend much of your life understanding.

You understand why people protect themselves. You understand that trauma affects behavior, grief has no simple timeline, and insight does not eliminate pain.

You deserve to have that same understanding extended to you.

You do not have to wait until your life falls apart. You do not have to become less functional, less knowledgeable, or more visibly distressed before your needs count.

You do not have to prove that the problem is serious enough.

You are a person with a story, a body, relationships, history, hopes, fears, and limits.

You are allowed to receive care without earning it through collapse.

Why Work With Me as a Fellow Therapist

I am Jennifer L. Hillier, M.A., LPC-S, CCTP. My approach is trauma-informed, direct, engaged, and collaborative.

I understand clinical language and professional culture, but you will not be expected to perform as a clinician in your own therapy. I can respect what you already know while helping you move beyond intellectual understanding and into the personal work of healing.

You will not have to choose between being respected as a knowledgeable professional and being treated as a person who needs care.

Privacy and Professional Overlap

You may have concerns about documentation, insurance, mutual colleagues, professional encounters, or being recognized within the mental health community.

These concerns deserve a direct conversation. We can discuss confidentiality, its legal and ethical limitations, documentation, insurance use, potential conflicts of interest, and how unexpected professional encounters would be handled.

You have the right to understand how your information is managed before deciding what feels acceptable to you.

When It May Be Time to Reach Out

It may be time to seek support when:

  • You no longer feel like yourself

  • Your relationships are suffering

  • Your usual coping strategies are not enough

  • Sleep, appetite, concentration, or self-care have changed

  • You are hiding how much you are struggling

  • You understand the problem but cannot change it alone

  • You need somewhere to be completely honest

You do not have to wait until you can no longer function. Continuing to meet responsibilities does not mean you are not hurting.

When More Support Is Needed

Therapists can experience severe depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, substance-related crises, mania, psychosis, and other conditions requiring immediate or more intensive care.

Needing crisis care, medication management, intensive outpatient treatment, or hospitalization is not a professional failure.

Online outpatient therapy is not an emergency service. If you cannot keep yourself safe or are experiencing an immediate mental health emergency, call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or call or text 988.

Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy for Therapists

Will I be expected to speak clinically?

No. You can speak in whatever way feels natural. You do not need to formulate, diagnose, or interpret yourself.

What if I already understand why I have the problem?

Insight can be valuable, but it is not the same as healing. Therapy can help you experience, process, and respond to what you understand intellectually.

Do we have to discuss my work?

No. Your profession does not have to become the focus of your personal therapy. We will discuss it when it is relevant to you.

Is this clinical supervision?

No. This is personal therapy. It does not replace clinical supervision, professional consultation, legal advice, or licensure requirements.

Will you judge my competence because I am struggling?

Your personal pain is not evidence of professional incompetence. Therapy will focus on your well-being, not on evaluating your worth as a clinician.

What if I know the coping skills but cannot make myself use them?

Knowing a skill and being able to access it while emotionally activated are different things. We can explore what makes the skill difficult to use rather than assuming you are failing.

Can I receive therapy for childhood trauma or relationship problems?

Yes. You can bring the same personal concerns that any other client might bring, including trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, divorce, emotional abuse, attachment wounds, family conflict, health concerns, or life transitions.

Do you provide EMDR?

EMDR may be incorporated when traumatic memories, betrayal, abuse, loss, or painful beliefs continue to affect the present. It is not automatically used, and we will determine whether it is appropriate for your needs and readiness.

Can I use insurance?

Mending Hearts Counseling PLLC accepts several insurance plans, including Ambetter, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Molina, Optum, and UnitedHealthcare. Coverage depends on your specific plan, network, location, benefits, and any professional or privacy considerations you wish to discuss.

Out-of-network benefits, HSA/FSA funds, and self-pay may also be available. Insurance coverage should be verified before beginning services because participation with an insurance company does not guarantee that every plan will cover every service.
