Questions About Therapy
Do you accept insurance?
I am considered an “out-of-network” provider with insurance companies, therefore you would need to verify with your insurance the rate and/or percentage of reimbursement for out-of-network behavioral health services. If you choose to proceed with your out-of-network coverage, I will provide you with a detailed receipt, Superbill, upon the conclusion and payment of each session. The Superbill can be submitted to your insurance company directly by you for reimbursement. Please be advised that this is the only form of receipt/proof of service and payment that I can provide for therapeutic services. Additionally, I do not communicate with the insurance companies on your behalf.
How long are therapy sessions?
The length of treatment depends on many factors including diagnosis, compliance, and consistency in attendance, progression through treatment, etc. Therapy begins with an intake session which allows me to gather relevant background information and presenting problems and symptoms. Following the intake session, I will provide my recommendations regarding the frequency of treatment, and we’ll determine what will be feasible and conducive to your schedule and symptoms. The intake sessions are an hour, while weekly therapy sessions are 45 minutes in length.

What is your therapeutic approach?
I strive to utilize an individually-tailored, culturally responsive, integrated approach to wellness, while also providing the highest quality treatment. Some psychotherapy strategies include cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, dialectic behavioral therapy skills, African-specific cultural interventions, and psychodynamic. As a native of Ghana, West Africa, I also have experience and interest in working with individuals and their families facing immigration challenges related to identity, biculturalism, and acculturation.
QUESTIONS ABOUT CONSULTATIONS
If a topic I am interested in is not indicated, can I request a topic?
There are additional topics I have expertise in and can further explore with you. If a topic you are interested in is not within my area of expertise, then I will guide you find another professional or resource to support you. I am available to speak at informational sessions, conferences, staff trainings, workshops, television shows, and news/radio or podcasts segments. We can discuss specifics regarding interest in topics and rates during the free consultation call.
Are consultation services provided on a one-time basis or can you engage in ongoing consultation?
Consultation can be done on a one-time basis or ongoing contractual arrangement. My background includes experiences in providing personal development workshops that can be designed to suit your specific request, professional trainings to address the specific needs of your organization, and curriculum design that includes a series of lectures and/or trainings to support your needs. This can be discussed further during the free consultation call.
QUESTIONS ABOUT ASSESSMENTS
What is the Testing Process?
For new patients, the testing process begins with two initial psychiatric diagnostic interviews. If insurance preauthorization is required, our team will assist you in securing approval.
Testing fees include face-to-face sessions, as well as the time dedicated to scoring, interpretation, and comprehensive report writing.
What are the Insurance and Payment Information?
At B. Resilient, we operate as an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance companies directly. However, if your insurance plan offers out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for reimbursement by submitting the necessary documentation to your provider. We encourage all patients to contact their insurance company before scheduling an appointment to understand their out-of-network coverage.
We accept payment via cash, check, or credit/debit cards. Payment is due at the end of each session, and a statement will be provided for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
