We'll check your insurance eligibility during your free assessment.
HSA / FSA
Pay for copays, bills, or prescriptions with your pre-tax health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA). We accept both card types.
Self-pay
Not covered or don't have insurance? That's okay. We offer affordable self-pay options with credit / debit for as little as $95/month.
Reimbursement

What Brightside members say
My therapist and doctor are both awesome. They have put me on the road to a more positive life.
Patricia
A literal life saver. So convenient, so effective, and more involved/high touch than my former psychiatrist was. I should have done this a year sooner.
Melissa K.
Amazing Dr.'s that have helped me more than anyone ever has. I can fit sessions and visits around my schedule and the best part is I don't have to deal with the public.
