About Us

Cognitive Change was founded by Daniel Linehan in November 2011. For many years, Cognitive Change has been providing excellent service to each individual, couple, and family through the use of CBT for all ages. All our therapists are either certified in CBT, TEAM-CBT, or DBT or are supervised by a certified CBT therapist. Our goal with all clients is to help them learn how to move toward the life they want while accepting themselves and the world around them.

Live the Life You Want To Live

CBT approaches and addresses dysfunctional emotions, maladaptive behaviors and cognitive processes through a number of goal-oriented and explicit systematic procedures. This technique acknowledges that there may be behaviors that cannot be controlled through rational thought. CBT is “problem-focused” and “action-oriented”- the therapist tries to assist the client in selecting specific strategies to help address those problems.

How Out of Network Billing Works

Nearly all out of network providers require full payment up front, and reimbursement is the clients duty if they choose to get reimbursed.

We are unique in that we will essentially front the insurance end so you only pay co-insurance which is similar to a copay. We leverage our billing knowledge to get the most out of your out of network benefits.

We save you from:

The time and energy to submit and follow-up
Understanding deductibles vs. out of pocket which make a huge difference in your coverage

For example, people often see $5,000 or more and think it’s pointless. But there are many factors that will go into when a deductible will be met.

Does the patient have other mental health providers (that are also out of network)?
- This means less sessions needed in our estimate.
Does the patient know various codes to get the best coverage which services are billable? This is different for each company. (Ex. EMDR is equipment used and can be added)
As long as the claim is legitimate in terms of active coverage and correct information is given, we value the NO SURPRISE ACT and honor the estimated rate.
