But suffering from depression after trauma is pretty commonplace these days. I actually decided to try seeing a "woman" because I felt I had been holding back on a few issues with a male therapist I had seen for awhile. He was actually quite good and I felt I was impeding my progress based on not discussing the specific female trauma. This therapist came as a referral, one of several, from a friend's therapist. I called several and all wanted cash upfront and weren't part of my insurance network. This one was listed as in network and confirmed that they were in network and submitted to insurance. To summarize, what would otherwise be a long review of issues, Check your insurance and that this person is indeed in network. Never, pay her direct. Let her submit the claim. She's charging $150/hr for 40 min visit. Let her earn it. She has since been downgraded as the type of provider she is. Which basically means she can charge what she wants and your benefits less. Gee, I wonder why?unscrupulous billing perhaps? Bilking the patient? Saying she will submit your claims and then months later you receive a bill with a note saying to pay her directly and submit the claim yourself. She overcharged by the way as a part of the PPO network. Which is why she likes to have you pay her directly, because if she submitted the claim, she'd only be reimbursed what she agreed upon as part of the network. Then she sends you a bill with incomplete or outdated codes, so your insurance will jerk you around in reimbursement. She doesn't return the insurer's calls or the patient's. The kicker after several months of calling back and forth, not only am I out the amount she overbilled, I'm out one of the claims totally because she failed to call in the 2nd and my last visit to her for approval and you know how insurance is these days, if they can deny a claim they will. It also helps if that you are going to see a "talking doctor" that they actually pronounce your name correctly (after you've corrected them several times) and that they not eat up half your session obsessing about insurance & payment. If I earned $150 bucks an hour (in her case $150 for 40 min), I'd hire a frigging office manager. As a side note, how much do you think these therapists requiring direct payment are actually declaring as income? If I were the IRS I'd do some serious auditing. When I called this woman, she had no record of the bill she sent me or my payment of $300 (which was a Cashier's check). She could easily not declare much of her income and no one would be the wiser. I mean unless you are into the tens of thousands in medical expenses, you can't deduct or itemize much of your medical expense on your tax return. You solely take the standard deduction. What a racket! This woman is probably not declaring much of her income and then also deducting things like laughably her "office" expenses. What a mother flipping joke. No wonder healthcare is thru the roof in this country. As to the response from co-director, there was no confusion. Before I even visited her, I confirmed her status with my insurance. Her tier level changed after about 8 months of back and forth with her bill & the insurance company. The insurance company themselves said they didn't understand why she was having me submit the claim. Her demeanor during sessions was not present (can't pronounce my name right after being corrected & obsessing about insurance during sesssion on both visits). In addition, she kept no record of my visits though I contacted her about my bill within 6 months of those visits.

If you're not able to do that yourself, believe me, you need that! They also provided transportation and shopping assistance, as well conversation and outings for my friend. Yes, you'll pay for their help. For me and my friend, I think every dollar was well spent.

Highly HIGHLY don't recommend this place just based on the service they provided or I guess in this case, did not provide.

Im disabled and unable to work so when Social Security cut off my disability payments because they didn't get the papers back from me,and said they payed me 2 months too much and took what i had saved for emergencies; it shook my world. I couldn't pay my weekly rent at the sober house and had to move to a homeless shelter. One of the toughest in a rough part of town. The shelter I was at had 1 girl go to the hospital the night before i got there because she was sleep walking near the women beds and a bunch of girls beat her up. And there were several girls beating people up who slept too deeply and didn't wake up when they walked by. So i stopped taking my psych meds because 1 made me sleep walk and the others made me sleep real deep. By the grace of God i survived and made it to another shelter where i could take my meds again , but i was on shaky ground still from being off my meds. My anxiety was off the chain and my Post Traumatic Stress was messing with my mind some but i was aware of it . When I walked into Uptown Research the friendly receptionist lead me to Dr. Sonnenberg who was very nice and met me in His office. He asked me about my Psych issues and why i wanted to participate in the study. I explained my situation and that i could really use the money right now. He agreed and explained to me that i would need to go off some of my meds and try an experimental onein order to participate and he thought that was not a good idea for me at the time, since i was well managed by my medications. I agreed. I said that i was looking for a therapist to talk to for some time as well. Dr. Sonnenberg said i could meet his therapist for free since they didn't take Medicaid and my Medicare was cancelled by Social Security too. His Therapist is Paul Myers an Advanced Partitioner Nurse who saw me i think a couple times a week until i got out of the shelter and my Medicare was restored and i could finally pay them and get more stable and just see him once a week. He helped me when i was still squirrelly from going off my meds and has been my Therapist and Medicine Prescriber for 3 and 1/2 years now.Shortly after Social Security gave me back my benefits and i returned to the Sober House, My Mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer. Paul Myers really helped me be a better daughter to my Mom and help her through such a difficult time in her life.My Mom had an operation and some complications from it and spent months in Hospitals and some rehab in a nursing home. The Drs. kept coming in her room giving us bad news and complicated medical words which they explained but we were both freaking out in our heads after the bad news and barley heard what they said after. Paul Myers was a medical Advanced Practitioner Nurse too so he was able to explain the medical stuff to me when i was calmer and i could explain it to my Mom so we were less confused.He also saved my Mom. She became confused and had a high fever and the Drs. couldn't figure it out. I told Paul Myers about it and he said to ask the Drs. if it could be a UTI infection. They said they checked already but after i talked to them they gave her new meds and she got better. Paul Myers helped me cultivate a more understanding relationship with my Mom where i could be the strong one for her. He let me vent and share all my frustrations about my Moms incurable disease and hospitals and medical findings and show me such understanding that I could give that understanding to my Mother who was Really going through it. I don't trust people easily and Paul Myers has earned my trust and kept it all these years. Relationships have really baffled me and Paul Myers has taught me a lot. He is like a great friend who just listens at first and lets You get it all out. Then like a friend we just have a light conversation about it and he explains things. He doesn't give me too much advice, i think he knows i don't like to be told what to do. lol. When he does give me advice it is really good advice and i needed it to be better off. Once or twice i didn't agree with his opinion, he thinks i don't give myself enough credit, he didn't get an attitude, he just smiled leaned back and we agreed to disagree. A couple times he gave great input that i didn't try, then after doing it my own way and it not working i tried it his way and it it went well. I told him about it and he did'n say "I told You so" he just said "thats great".A couple times i really needed to talk to Paul Myers and couldn't get an appointment right away. I left Him a message on His private Voice Mail and he told me to come in on His lunch break. I am forever Grateful for Paul Myers and Dr. Sonnenberg and Uptown Research.
