Big things are happening!!!

So excited to announce that we will officially be accepting Wellcare Medicaid beginning 2/15/26! Amerihealth is coming soon as well!

Second announcement: I am currently unable to accept any more referrals for "after school" times. If referrals for this are made, I will place them on a wait-list! Please continue to send any referrals where kids (or adults) may be able to attend sessions from morning to mid-day!

Hello Community! I know it's been a minute since I've posted. If you want more updates, check us out over at Peak Wellness Collective! There's a lot more going on!

But, the reason for this post is to share some good news!
My contracting for Healthy Blue is complete! Starting Jan 1, I have openings for new clients who have HEALTHY BLUE MEDICAID! Don't wait until January though, I know these spots are going to go fast! I'm already low on after school appointments!

Also, I'm working on trying to hire another therapist for more availability - so don't be afraid of the waitlist!

All appointments scheduled today, 9/30/24 - 10/2/24 will be cancelled due to the current conditions in WNC. I have very limited access to phone/internet, as I'm only able to connect to public wifi at this time. I tried to reach as many clients as possible. If you have an appointment scheduled at this time, please assume it's cancelled. My hope is that things will be back to normal by Friday. I apologize for the inconvenience. Stay well!
