Good Faith Estimate (No Surprises Act)

Psynergy Psychological Associates provides information about clients' rights to a Good Faith Estimate of costs for care, in line with federal "No Surprises" regulations.

Key points from the practice's Good Faith Estimate notice:

• Clients who do not have insurance or are not using insurance have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate that explains the expected cost of non-emergency services.
• The Good Faith Estimate should include the total expected cost of services and related items.
• Clients can ask for a Good Faith Estimate before they schedule a service.
• The law requires that a Good Faith Estimate be provided in writing at least 1 business day before a scheduled non-emergency service in many cases.
• If a client receives a bill that is at least $400 more than the Good Faith Estimate, they may have the right to dispute the bill.
• Clients are encouraged to save a copy of any Good Faith Estimate they receive.

For the most current information about Good Faith Estimates and the "No Surprises" rules, clients can also visit the federal resource at www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059 (as referenced in the practice's notice).

What is not published

• The website does not list specific session fees, package prices, or detailed insurance information.
• For up-to-date information about fees, payment options, insurance use, and current availability, clients should contact the practice or their chosen therapist directly.

Clients seek help for both long-standing patterns and current life stressors, and the practice supports adults, adolescents, couples, families, and groups around these issues.

The practice describes using a range of evidence-informed and experiential interventions, including:

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
• Somatic Experiencing and somatic integration approaches
• Hypnotherapy / therapeutic hypnosis
• Meditation and breath work
• Psycho-spiritual counseling
• ACT / DBT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; Dialectical Behavioral Therapy)
• Crisis intervention and mediation
• Voice dialogue and integration
• Journaling and narrative reconstruction

Therapists at the practice also draw on psychodynamic relational work, cognitive-behavioral tools, and other integrative approaches that reflect the mind–body connection.

Good Therapy and intimacy

The practice highlights that effective therapy helps improve intimacy and connection:

• Many people feel calmer and safer when they are accurately reflected or "mirrored" by others.
• Emotional dysregulation and inaccurate reflection can create chaos in homes, relationships, workplaces, and within one's own inner world.
• In "Good Therapy," clients identify often-unconscious relational rules, revise those rules by calming fears and managing reactivity, and practice new capacities in current relationships.

Building inner control to manage anxiety

Good Therapy at Psynergy aims to help clients:

• Build the capacity to stay within a workable "window of tolerance" so they can respond flexibly to life's surprises.
• Keep reasoning and reflective abilities online by developing new, healthier neural pathways.

What the practice values in a therapist

Psynergy emphasizes that good therapy requires a good therapist. Therapists at the practice aim to:

• Guide clients' focus in session.
• Provide insight and help recognize repetitive patterns.
• Identify defenses and support the development of more adaptive ones.
• Offer safety, predictability, and attunement.
• Pace the work so that feedback and exploration happen when clients have the tools and readiness to use them.

The practice views mind and body as an interactive whole, constantly exchanging information rather than as two separate systems.
