Our team of licensed professionals all focus on helping you reach your goals, emotionally and physically, through resources such as therapy, alternative medicine techniques, coaching, chiropractic and nutrition.
We believe the more educated and empowered you are as a client, the more successful your results will be.
As a Mind Body Wellness practice, we incorporate whole food based nutrition, greater amounts of movement & exercise and mindfulness practices into our suggestions and know this can go a long way towards your health and happiness. Research shows that integrating these aspects increase results for a variety of affective, cognitive, behavioral, and physiological systems within a person.
Instead of just focusing on presenting symptoms, such as ADD, Anxiety or relationship distress, we also look to help resolve the underlying energetic/emotional/belief “imbalances” that existed before the present day issues manifested. These “imbalances” can cause long-term health and emotional wellness issues that can manifest in both emotional and physical symptoms.

It is important to understand a few issues when choosing to use your insurance for mental health services. When receiving clinical services you will be forming a record of your status and treatment, just like a medical record.
That means that in order for insurance to cover this treatment, there must be an illness, or disorder, that is diagnosed and reported to the insurance company, just like a flu diagnosed by a doctor demonstrating a reason for the treatment.
Based on the clinical diagnosis, this could mean that if your are in a non-group policy your insurance company can place an additional rider, add a supplemental deductible or raise the cost of your monthly premium in the future should they find that their cost of covering your services will increase.In fact, many insurance companies require status updates on treatment which can include requests for specific information about your lifestyle ( drinking, recreational drug use, mood changes, self-injuring thoughts, sleep disturbances, etc). This information can potentially be used to penalize you in renewals for medical and life insurance as we cannot guarantee what your insurance company shares with other companies.
When paying out of pocket for psychotherapy sessions, there is more confidentiality in the sense that insurance companies do not have access to the record of your treatment. In addition, you are also able to participate in a wider variety of therapeutic services without being required to have a diagnosis reported back to your insurer. The Family Room Wellness Associates does not guarantee the confidentiality of your billing and diagnosis codes once we bill your insurance.
Many insurance companies don’t cover sessions more than once per week, or double sessions, phone sessions, group therapy, marriage counseling, workshops, and other types of treatment that might be especially helpful to you. Paying out-of-pocket means that you can seek these other types of treatment when you and your therapist think it is suitable.
Many insurance companies allow only a certain number of sessions per year, which may not be enough to address the concerns that brought you to therapy in the first place. Insurance companies reserve the right to manage how often and how long you can use your benefits, and may decide that you cannot use your full number of sessions for certain problems. When paying out-of-pocket for therapy, you and your therapist will work together to figure out how long you can stay in therapy and what issues you want to work on as a priority.
Through your phone, tablet or computer — any device with an internet connection; if you have ever used Skype on your computer or FaceTime on your iPhone, you have used the same type of technology that teletherapy uses. Appointments are the same length as your in-person sessions and are scheduled in the same way. You choose a quiet, private spot free of distraction, interruptions and background noise and connect with your therapist via a safe, secure online platform.
We also have the ability to offer this service while you are in the office with family members who are not local. We would require a consent form from these individuals to be completed and faxed back to our office before the session would take place.
If you do not live in South Florida but are a Florida resident we can arrange online sessions to take place. If you are participating in online therapy, the client must live in the state where the practitioner is licensed according to most state counseling and therapy laws. If you live or travel overseas, you may be able to work with us regardless of what state you came from in the United States. Please contact us to discuss your specific situation.
In most situations, insurance does not cover tele therapy or coaching sessions.
