Good Faith Estimate/No Surprises Act

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit http://www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.

Mastery Counseling offers the option of telehealth sessions. Clients will log into their session via the Therapy Notes patient portal which provides a HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. Clients will need access to a web camera either via phone, tablet, or computer.

During our initial 15 minute phone consultation we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and assess if my expertise can assist you. During the first two sessions we will do further assessment and discuss options for treatment.

Individual Therapy

I provide individual therapy for clients starting at age 13. Sessions are generally conducted weekly according to need. During the first appointment I will assess your history and discuss treatment options. Sessions typically last between 50-60 minutes and are structured to enhance skill building and movement toward goals. I am able to provide full model Dialectical Behavior Therapy to individuals 13 years of age and older. This includes:

• Weekly Individual DBT session
• Weekly DBT Skills Group (provided virtually)
• In between session phone coaching
• My participation in a weekly DBT consultation team

LCSW Licensure Supervision

I am a registered LCSW supervisor with the state of Missouri and can provide supervision for clinicians working toward their licensure. I have extensive experience training and supporting clinicians to learn and implement evidence based treatment modalities including Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Prolonged Exposure. Clinicians interested in supervision please send a resume and cover letter to brianne.serdar@masterycounseling.org. A free consultation is provided to determine fit and discuss structure of supervision. The fee is $75/hr and provided for individuals only at this time.
