If you pay out of pocket, we are able to provide a Superbill for you to submit to other insurance providers to go towards your out-of-network deductible. We can never guarantee that your sessions will be covered or reimbursed in any way, shape or form.

In order to submit a claim towards your insurance, you must meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis.

EMDR & Brainspotting Intensives are fee-for-service only. Traditional EMDR or Brainspotting can be billed through insurance.

ADHD & Autism assessments will depend on your insurance benefits.

Couples counseling is fee-for-service (private pay) only due to the nature of the therapy we provide.

Couples counseling is typically not covered by insurance because insurance requires a diagnosis for one individual and treatment focused on that person’s medical condition. Since couples therapy focuses on the relationship—not an individual’s mental health diagnosis—it doesn’t meet the criteria for medical necessity under most plans.

The duration of therapy varies for each person. On average, significant changes are seen after 15-20 sessions, depending on the severity of symptoms and treatment type. Our goal is to help you meet your goals and eventually feel better!

A Good Faith Estimate is an estimate of expected charges for health care services if you don't have insurance or plan to pay out-of-pocket. It includes the primary service and any related items or services. It's not a bill and may not cover unexpected costs. Providers must give you this estimate within specific timeframes after scheduling or upon request. Keep it to compare with actual bills. If the billed amount is significantly higher, you may dispute it.

Internship is required for all clinical mental health counseling programs. Our interns are graduate students currently enrolled in accredited programs including counseling, rehabilitation counseling and social work in the state of North Carolina. Interns have finished- or are about to finish- all required coursework from their graduate programs, and are working towards completing internship hours so that they can pursue licensure in a mental health field.

Here at Little Seed, Clinical Student Interns have the same expectations as other clinicians on the team, including maintaining a caseload and completing administrative tasks. However, interns execute these expectations on a smaller scale with more one-on-one support and monitoring by our licensed clinicians. In this case, Jena Plummer is our clinical supervisor and works in close contact with our interns helping them to learn both the mental health and business side of private practice.

Working with a Clinical Student Intern means benefiting from multiple perspectives. Interns receive weekly supervision from Jena, a licensed clinical mental health counselor and addiction specialist, and their professors. Your privacy is assured. Interns get feedback from Jena, exposing them to various therapeutic styles and techniques. They also use the latest research, ensuring you benefit from up-to-date methods.

Couples counseling at Little Seed is usually not covered by insurance as it focuses on the relationship rather than an individual's mental health diagnosis. Here are the costs: - 60-minute Intake Session: $150 - 45-60 minute Couples Therapy Session: $125 - 90-minute Extended Couples Therapy Session: $185
