As of right now, our Counseling insurance providers are fully booked and they do not have any availability for new insurance clients. We are so sorry about this! However our Medication Management providers are taking new clients and do take certain insurance plans. In the mean time, we do offer income-based self-pay rates for all of our services. Feel free to contact us to learn more and to see if you qualify!

Regrettably, the State of Tennessee does not permit Branches to accept clients who have TennCare or Medicaid insurance, even if the client is willing to come as a self-pay client. The state has designated providers that are pre-authorized to accept these insurances. For clients with these insurances, we refer to: Dr. Deborah Driggs: (931) 486-8670; Kimara Wilson-Clarke: (931) 368-3234; Jessica Huddleston: (615) 745-3405; Rhonda Pendergrass: (615) 645-2967. https://www.tn.gov/tenncare

If you don't show for an appointment or if you cancel less than 24 hours before your appointment time, you will automatically be charged $50 to the credit card we have on file for you. IMPORTANT: If you are using insurance to cover your visits, your insurance company will not cover any portion of this charge, therefore, the full $50 fee will be charged directly to you regardless of your normal copay. In addition, HSA and FSA debit cards cannot cover the costs of late cancellation fees and no show fees.
When you accept an appointment time, our counselor will set aside that time and is committed to being there for you. The pre-paid fee is a commitment on your part that you will come to your first appointment. If you are unable to keep your appointment it is important to notify us at least 24 hours in advance to avoid a cancellation fee. After your first appointment you will pay as you go.
If someone else is paying for your sessions, we will need a 3rd Party Agreement Form signed by the paying party and on file in our office before your first appointment.
