Our Commitment to Affordable Care

It is a core value of ours to make healing accessible and affordable while maintaining the quality of services our clients and students receive. So often in our world, "you get what you pay for", but we believe that you have the right to get what you need within your range of affordability. The commitment you make to your healing is an investment, but we understand that a reasonable investment for some is simply not affordable for others. 

Although we do not take insurance (explanation below), we've partnered with Mentaya, a service that streamlines getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits.

Mentaya is perfect if you:

• Have out-of-network benefits

• Feel overwhelmed by superbills and insurance

• Have submitted superbills but failed to get any reimbursement

• Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork!

Here's how it works:

1. Sign up for Mentaya: *Click here*

2. Our practice will enter your sessions into the platform.

3. Mentaya submits the claim and handles any insurance follow-up.

4. You get reimbursed by insurance! Mentaya charges a 5% fee per claim, which includes handling any paperwork required, dealing with denials, and calling insurance companies. It's risk-free: They guarantee claims are successfully submitted, or a full refund of their fees.

Other ways we strive to make services affordable

If your insurance company doesn't have OON (out of network) benefits, we also offer a sliding scale for therapy services and a tiered pricing model for yoga classes. We offer groups and events that can be utilized to supplement your healing making it possible to decrease frequency of therapy sessions while still making progress toward your goals. 

Tiered Pricing for Yoga

When you select a yoga class, you will see 3 different price options available: $13 / $18 / $25.

Those who are able to pay the highest tier make it possible for those who need a reduced rate to attend the same class. This is also called Equity Pricing. There are no questions asked and no form to fill out. Your price selection is kept private, and you decide what price best fits your current financial situation. 

Why we don't accept insurance...

Choosing a mental health therapist is a deeply personal decision, and I believe clients deserve transparency about how care is provided. For that reason, we want to openly share why we have chosen not to participate in insurance panels.

Insurance companies require mental health therapists to assign a formal mental health diagnosis in order for services to be reimbursed. While diagnoses can sometimes be helpful, we do not believe every person seeking support should automatically be labeled with a mental health disorder in order to receive care. Many individuals seek therapy for stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, burnout, grief, trauma recovery, personal growth, or nervous system dysregulation — experiences that are deeply human and do not always fit neatly into a diagnostic category.

Additionally, insurance reimbursement is often tied to specific treatment models and interventions that insurance companies deem “medically necessary” or evidence-based according to their standards. This can create limitations around the pace, depth, and type of therapy offered. Our priority is providing care that is individualized and clinically appropriate for each client rather than tailoring treatment to insurance requirements.

Our work often integrates somatic and holistic approaches, including nervous system regulation, mindfulness, embodiment practices, trauma-informed interventions, and other experiential methods that may not always align with what insurance companies recognize or reimburse. While these approaches are supported by emerging research and can be profoundly transformative, they are not always valued within the traditional medical insurance model.

Remaining out-of-network allows us to:

  • Protect your privacy by minimizing the sharing of sensitive mental health information with insurance companies

  • Avoid assigning unnecessary diagnoses when they may not accurately reflect your experience

  • Create treatment plans based on your unique needs rather than insurance-driven limitations

  • Offer integrative, somatic, and holistic approaches without restriction

  • Focus on the quality and depth of care rather than medical system requirements

For clients who wish to seek possible out-of-network reimbursement, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance provider (see above). Please note that reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your individual plan and benefits.

We believe healing is not one-size-fits-all. Our goal is to provide a space where your care is guided by clinical integrity, compassion, collaboration, and what truly supports your healing process.

Sincerely, 

The Bloom Team
