I am a PSYPACT provider, so I am able to provide telehealth (psychotherapy or psychological evaluations) across state lines to any participating PSYPACT state (APIT # 10303). If your state is highlighted in blue, I can help you.
I provide Bariatric Surgery Weight Loss Psychological Evaluations and help people through psychotherapy, before or after surgery, as needed for bariatric patients. I have been conducting pre-surgical psychological assessments for Minneota surgeons and patients for over 20 years.
I also provide general psychotherapy for adult clients (men, women, all adults) as well as individual and family psychotherapy for pre-teens and older adolescents for a variety of mental health issues, including health and wellness.
I take most all Minnesota commercial insurance as well as Medicare/Medicaid. Out of Network insurance can be utilized by paying up front for services and then a Superbill will be provided to you after completion of services for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
My office is located in Blaine, Minnesota but videoconferencing on-line sessions are available as desired and when clinically appropriate (check insurance for remote coverage).
