Fees & Insurance Information
Making mental health care accessible and affordable for families.
OUR COMMITMENT TO ACCESSIBLE CARE
At TESS, we believe that financial barriers should never prevent individuals and families from accessing the trauma-informed care they need.
We are committed to making our services as accessible as possible through various payment options, insurance acceptance, and flexible arrangements.
We understand that seeking mental health care is an investment in your well-being and your family's future. Our team is here to work with you to find payment solutions that fit your unique situation and make healing possible.
At this time, Trauma Education and Support Services is an out-of-network provider. We do not bill insurance directly, but we can provide you with a superbill for reimbursement
