Many clients pay under $50 per session after meeting deductible

We believe that everyone should have access to quality care. While we are not in-network with any health insurance plans, we provide tools to estimate your actual cost upfront and simplify the billing process.

    • Determine your coverage : We partner with Mentaya to offer a free calculator to determine your out-of-network benefits and how much your insurance plan will cover.

    • Let us handle the paperwork : We submit claims directly to your insurance company for you, so you don't have to worry about it.

    • Only pay your share: We only charge you what your insurance won't cover. Most out-of-network practices require you to pay the entire fee up front and wait 4 to 6 weeks to be reimbursed by your insurance company.

    Dr. Emily Guarnotta
    Psychologist & Founder

     

    "When I had my first child, I was shocked by the challenges that I faced as a new mother.

    I’d like to say that I got help right away, but, like so many women, the shame of postpartum depression and anxiety kept me silent for nearly two years.

    When I sought out further training and began working with postpartum clients myself, I was struck by how many stories were so similar to my own. It also became clear that a therapist who is qualified to treat maternal mental health conditions is so important.

    I founded Phoenix Health to make it easier for new mothers like me to find the right help."

    “I had experienced anxiety on and off throughout my life, but when I got pregnant, it increased tenfold.

    I started seeing a therapist during my second trimester, and she gave me the tools I needed to cope with my anxiety.”

    “My first week of motherhood was the hardest week of my life. I couldn’t stop crying and wondered if I had made a mistake. I had gone through years of infertility treatments and now was regretting it.

    I felt so much guilt and finally told my partner. He found me a therapist who helped me unpack years of trauma that I didn’t even realize was affecting me. I was able to come to peace with what I had been through and now I feel like I am finally bonding with my son.”

    “I had never heard of postpartum rage before having my daughter. The feelings hit me like a ton of bricks.

    I was too ashamed to tell anyone what I was experiencing. Once I found a therapist that I clicked with, I was able to get back control of my emotions.”

    “Everyone told me that becoming a mother would be the best experience of my life, but I’ve never felt so alone.

    My therapist helped me understand what I was going through and how to talk to my family and friends about it. I still have hard days, but therapy has given me the strength to get through them.”

    “My intrusive thoughts got really bad the first week after I had my son. I couldn’t take it anymore and finally told my doctor, who said I might be dealing with postpartum OCD and recommended that I see a therapist.

    Getting help changed my life. I’m now pregnant with my second child and therapy is helping me deal with my anxiety and prepare for the changes ahead.”
