Can you prescribe medication?

If I am claustrophobic, will I be able to use the Somadome?

No one reports feeling closed in once inside. The dome shape, circulation via a fan, and ability to open the dome at any time during the session does not allow one to feel “trapped” or “enclosed.” For a personal anecdote of someone’s experience you can read this article for more information.

Well, I don’t because I wasn’t invited to attend Hogwarts.  So maybe some do?

Do you take my insurance?

I am an “out of network” provider. The client is responsible for making payments to me but depending on your benefits, you may be able to get reimbursed from your insurance provider.  I don’t work for your insurance provider (then I would be in-network) but happy to work with your insurance provider to get you reimbursed (jump through hoops, red tape, etc…).  

Is there free parking?

Sorta.  After 5 (I believe) all street parking is free.  There are areas around the office where parking is free (a couple blocks away) but during business hours it’s all metered parking.
