We know you are anxious for an update! We are STILL in the process of paneling with the above insurance companies. Notice we have even added an additional company, Magellan! We have completed all of the steps that are required on our end, and we are just waiting for approval (it's been three months!). If you are interested in counseling through us and have one of the insurance companies above, we strongly recommend contacting Devin to join our insurance waitlist. We will then reach out to you as soon as paneling is complete with your company. Thank you for your patience and we look forward to supporting you!

Prism Counseling is a wonderful resource for the LGBTQ+ community and their families. Their clinicians are knowledgeable, skilled and easy to talk to. In my professional opinion as a licensed therapist, I highly recommend them to adolescents and adults and I'm thrilled that they've opened their doors! We are lucky to have them in the area.
