Shame can feel like a heavy secret—one that tells you you're not enough, that your past defines you, or that you're unworthy of connection.

But here's what we know:

At Acceptance Counseling Associates, our counselors are trained to help you unpack the roots of shame, process the pain beneath it, and start building a more compassionate relationship with yourself. We create a space where your story is safe and where real, lasting change can begin.

Our latest blog dives deep into how shame operates, how it affects your emotional world, and what can be done to break its hold.

We are excited to announce that Doug and Alison have just partnered with to help clients use their out-of-network benefits for potential reimbursement on therapy!

**What are out-of-network benefits?** Here's a breakdown:

✨ If your insurance plan offers out-of-network benefits, it means they will cover a portion of the cost when you see a therapist who doesn't have a direct contract with your insurance company.

✨ Unlike in-network providers, who bill your insurance company directly with out-of-network therapists, you typically pay for the session upfront and then submit a claim to your insurance for reimbursement.

✨ Insurance companies often reimburse a percentage of the therapist's fee, usually after you meet an out-of-network deductible. For example, after you meet a $1,000 deductible, your insurance may reimburse 50-80% of the session cost.

✨ Out-of-network benefits give you the flexibility to choose a therapist based on your needs and preferences, not just those in-network.
