About Midwood Counseling PLLC

Midwood Counseling offers a variety of counseling services including individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy.

Midwood Counseling offers both virtual and in-person sessions. If you would like to come in-person our office is located in the Cotswold neighborhood of Charlotte. 

During your first session with Midwood Counseling, your therapist will ask you questions to get to know you better and understand what brings you to counseling. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the counseling process.  

Midwood Counseling is pleased to be in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield. If you are a Blue Cross Blue Shield member, your sessions may be partially or fully covered. We encourage you to reach out to your insurance provider or contact our office to confirm your specific coverage details.

If you have insurance coverage through a provider other than Blue Cross Blue Shield, please note that we are considered out-of-network. However, you may have out-of-network benefits for mental health services that can be used. To see if you have these benefits, we recommend you call the number on the back of their insurance card and ask the following questions:

1. Does your plan include “out-of-network” coverage for mental health?
2.  What is the reimbursement rate for an out-of-network mental health provider per session                       (once your deductible has been met?)
3. What is your annual deductible for mental health benefits? How much of this deductible has currently been met?
4.  Is there a limit on the number of sessions your plan will cover per year?

It is also helpful to find out how you can submit your Super Bills to your insurance, which Midwood Counseling will provide you with upon your request. 

Please note that BCBS plans are accepted for individual and family sessions only. Couples sessions are not billed through insurance and are self-pay.

Session rates range based off of the type of session (i .e. individual, couples, or family). Individual sessions are $150 per 1 hour session and couples/family sessions are $175 per 1 hour session. 

The federal “No Surprises Act”grants consumers the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate”explaining how much their medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers, including psychotherapists, must give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for treatment services.The act also requires healthcare providers, including psychotherapists, to inform their clients of this right. Additionally, this act requires that information regarding the availability of a “Good Faith Estimate” must be prominently displayed on the website of all health care providers, including psychotherapists.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask all of your health care providers, including your therapist and other providers from whom you seek treatment, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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 www.cms.gov/nosurprises/.
