FAQs
What does the enrollment process look like?
After you submit this form, our admin will be in touch (usually within a few days) to schedule a 15-minute phone screening between you and Melissa to see if the group is the right fit for you/your kiddo. If it's a good fit, we will send you 2 emails containing intake paperwork - one through a client portal, and another through our secure Hushmail account. Once you submit ALL paperwork, our admin will check your insurance benefits with us, and the clinician running the group will reach out to schedule an intake appointment with you. Once all intakes for the group are complete, the group can start.
How much does the group cost?
SAYFTEE accepts most commercial insurances. If you are not planning on using insurance, the out-of-pocket cost for groups is $50 per session, plus the cost of the intake appointment.
When will my group start?
Groups are filled through rolling admissions, so while we may aim for a particular start date, there are a number of reasons we don't advertise or communicate a start date until the group is full and everyone has completed their intake appointments. You can always email admin@sayftee.com to find out the status of a particular group, and our admin will let you know how many more spots are available.
