Book a Discovery Session to learn how we can help.

Discovery Sessions are no-pressure conversations to see if we're a good fit. You'll share what's bringing you in and what kind of support you're looking for, and we'll walk you through our approach. It's a chance to ask questions and get a feel for how we connect.

Clients are responsible for missed sessions or those cancelled with less than 24 hours notice.

Along with simply loving it, we (and centuries of Buddhist leaders) think of life like an ocean. Thoughts, emotions, and sensations are its “mind waves”. Eliminating the waves isn’t the goal, and actually isn’t possible. Life’s ups and downs inevitably come.

Instead, we can learn how to ride the waves while staying true to ourselves. That’s where we come in. Book a Discovery Session to find out how.

Under the No Surprises Act, uninsured or self-pay patients have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) of the expected costs of health care services. As a self-pay practice, Wave Therapy will provide patients with information about expected fees and charges before services are provided.

All fees are discussed with and disclosed to clients before treatment begins. The Good Faith Estimate reflects the costs of services that are reasonably expected based on the information available at the time the estimate is created.

The Good Faith Estimate is an estimate, not a guarantee of the final cost of care. It does not include unknown or unexpected services or circumstances that may arise during treatment. If your care needs change, the expected costs may also change, and you will be informed of any changes in fees as appropriate.

If you are billed for an amount that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you may have the right to dispute the bill through the federal Patient-Provider Dispute Resolution process. To be eligible, you generally must have received a Good Faith Estimate before receiving care and must initiate the dispute within 120 calendar days of the date on the initial bill.

Before initiating a dispute, you may contact Wave Therapy to discuss the difference between the Good Faith Estimate and your bill. You may ask us to review the charges, negotiate the bill, or discuss available payment options.

If you choose to use the federal dispute resolution process, there is currently a $25 administrative fee. The independent dispute resolution entity will review the Good Faith Estimate, the bill, and relevant information from you and the provider and determine the appropriate amount to be paid.
