Cancellation Policy

Your appointment time is reserved specifically for you. If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, we kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice, as well as missed appointments, may be subject to the full session fee. This policy allows us to respect the time set aside for your care while also offering availability to other clients who may be waiting for an appointment.

We understand that unexpected circumstances can arise, and exceptions may be considered in cases of illness or emergencies.

Haus of Mental Health Counseling operates as a private-pay practice. While we do not directly bill most insurance plans, many clients are still able to use their insurance benefits through out-of-network reimbursement.

We encourage contacting your insurer and asking:

1. Does my plan include out-of-network mental health coverage?

2. What is my annual deductible for mental health?

3. What is my co-insurance percentage?

4. Is there a session limit per year?

5. How do I submit a superbill for reimbursement?

If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be able to submit a receipt often called a “superbill” to your insurance provider for partial reimbursement of session fees. The amount reimbursed varies depending on your individual insurance plan.

Therapy is individual, and duration varies by client. Haus of Mental Health Counseling provides a structured framework to help clients understand the process, but timelines are flexible and can be extended as needed.

A typical therapy progression may include:

• Weekly sessions during the beginning phase

• Transitioning to sessions every 2 weeks

• Then every 3 weeks

• Eventually moving into maintenance or as-needed care

Clients may attend therapy for months or years, take breaks, and return at any time. If a client has not attended a session within 3 months, we will reach out to discuss case closure. Any returning client simply completes a new intake session.

We value communication and encourage clients to email updates or check-ins as needed.

Medical Necessity

As part of our transparent and ethical practice, we help clients understand whether their needs meet criteria for using insurance. Insurance can only be used when therapy addresses a mental health condition identifiable through the DSM-5. This includes:

• Symptoms causing clinically significant distress or impairment

• Symptoms meeting duration/frequency requirements

• Clear, measurable treatment goals

• Risk of symptoms worsening without treatment

• Consistent weekly or biweekly sessions

• Outpatient therapy being the appropriate level of care

Clients who meet medical necessity may use any of the insurances credentialed under our practice.

Problems in Living (Non–Medical Necessity)

Insurance cannot be used when an assessment does not identify a diagnosable mental health condition. These clients may still benefit greatly from therapy as part of their overall well-being, but sessions will be out-of-pocket.

“Problems in living” may include:

• Symptoms that do not meet DSM-5 criteria

• Communication skills

• Therapy as self-care

• Self-esteem or confidence building

• Emotional support, stress management, or venting

• Validation and gentle confrontation

• Problem-solving and life transitions

• Sessions more than once per week

• Couples therapy when neither partner meets diagnostic criteria

• Psychoeducation (parent training, attachment-focused work)

• Relationship challenges: communication issues, anger management, boundaries, burnout, family tension, emotional triggers, nervous system regulation

Problems in living clients can still experience significant personal transformation—therapy simply serves as self-improvement rather than insurance-based medical treatment.
