Therapeutic Care. Life Choices offers individual therapy for children (ages 12+), adolescents, adults and couples (both married and unmarried). Cognitive behavioral, emotion-focused, trauma-informed, EMDR and anxiety geared therapies are generally employed. The ultimate aim of treatment is self understanding that allows acceptance and greater perspective. From this, areas of change can be more clearly identified and relationships can be healthier. For those that request it, spiritual and/or biblical doctrine can be incorporated into the treatment process.

Psychological, Chemical Dependency & Fitness-for-Duty Evaluations. Our Licensed Psychologists are trained to provide evaluation and assessment services. Some evaluations are required at the direction of a third party (i.e., employer, licensing board, state agency) and are geared to answer specific concerns from that third party. Others are needed for treatment clarification. In either instance, the evaluation occurs in two parts: 1) the completion of psychological tests, and 2) the clinical interview. The assessment takes approximately 4 hours and is completed in a single visit; most reports are completed in two weeks. Assessments are usually privately paid at a fixed fee, unless paid by the insurance carrier for medically-necessary evaluations.
Bariatric Surgery Evaluation. Bariatric surgery is a life-altering event. Many patients share common reactions and paths after having the surgery. However, every patient must be treated as an individual. Because of this, it is important to do a thorough assessment of each person to try and determine what individual and unique challenges each person may face as the role of food changes in their lives. By way of the evaluation, plans can be made to meet these challenges in the smoothest way possible. Life Choices provides comprehensive evaluations (a prerequisite for surgery) as well as ongoing counseling to support the long-term success of your surgery and lifestyle changes. The evaluation consists of two parts: the completion of psychological tests and a clinical interview which can be scheduled in a single visit. In that this assessment is a requirement for subsequent medical care, insurance carriers generally cover the costs (with prior approval).

Insurance Coverage
Life Choices Psychologists (Drs. Waddell-Pratt & Klinger) accept most insurance plans.
Private Pay
The office also provides treatment services on a private pay basis through Associate-level providers, not requiring communication with a third party payer (i.e., insurer). For those with out-of-pocket benefits, a superbill can be provided to you for your submittal to your insurance carrier to be reimbursed for out-of-pocket payments to Life Choices.
Regardless of how services are billed, all payments are securely accepted via debit/credit card through the Electronic Health Record portal. All card transactions incur a processing fee.
Other services apart from psychotherapy (including but not limited to: letters written by the therapist, standard start, attendance or completion forms, and evaluations) may have additional fees . Payment for these services is either handled in advance or at the time that service is rendered.
Since there are only a limited number of counseling hours available during the week, charges are assessed for missed sessions unless cancellation is made 24-hours in advance. Since your insurance company will not subsume the cost for missed appointment charges, this fee is passed to you, the client.
If you have any questions regarding payments and fees or your ability to pay, then please do not hesitate to communicate these concerns. We would be happy to discuss this with you!
