Psychotherapy for Reconnecting with Your Inherent Wisdom
Welcome to Inner Trust Counseling
About
Inner Trust Counseling & Raffaela
I am delighted that you have ventured to my homepage. My name is Raffaela, and I have worked in the mental health field for the last two decades. Throughout my journey working with clients, I have tried out many different modalities. None of them have been as holistic and inclusive as Internal Family Systems (IFS).
IFS is an integrative, non-pathologizing approach that focuses on the inner world, healing parts of us that have been burdened and reconnecting with the Self-led system. For more information on IFS, visit the following page: https://ifs-institute.com/
Clients I have previously encountered worked with a range of concerns, including but not limited to traumatic experiences, parenting questions, addictive tendencies, (chronic) medical conditions and life transitions. I welcome anyone, over the age of 18, who is curious about themselves. You are the expert in your own inner world, and I am excited to be your companion who supports your system in healing. Welcome home!

Insurance
I am not in network with any insurance company. Unfortunately, many insurance companies impose barriers to care, such as requiring pre-authorization for services or attempting to restrict services that they do not find “medically necessary.” This often means that they will demand more information in order to pay for care. They also require therapists to sign contracts that give the insurance company rights to therapy information and to terminate therapy if they see fit. In order to provide the best care I can, I have chosen not to agree to such terms.
Getting Reimbursed
If you would like to have your insurance reimburse you for therapy, you can ask them the following questions:
-
What is the reimbursement process if I see a therapist who is not in-network?
-
Do I need pre-authorization to see a therapist?
-
Do I have a deductible for outpatient, out-of-network mental/behavioral health services?
-
After I meet my deductible, how much will I be reimbursed for an initial intake meeting (procedure code 90791) and psychotherapy (procedure codes 90837) with a doctoral-level psychotherapist?
-
Is there any additional authorization necessary for 90837 (hourlong therapy) vs. 90834 (45 minute therapy)?
-
Are there limits to how many therapy sessions will be covered in a particular week or year?
-
Are there differences for services provided in-person vs. via telehealth?
