Billing & Insurance

Cost shouldn't be the reason someone doesn't get support. Here's a plain-language explanation of how billing works at this practice.

How billing works

Thunderstorm Therapy operates in partnership with two established San Antonio practices, Anew Family Counseling Center and Authentic Living Therapy, for the purposes of insurance billing. This means that if you're using insurance, your sessions will be billed through one of these partnering practices. Nothing changes about your experience as a client, you still see Joseph, in the same office, with the same approach. The partnership simply allows insurance claims to be processed seamlessly on your behalf.

In-person sessions are available Thursday afternoons and Friday through Monday. Telehealth sessions are available by appointment with more flexibility. Evening and weekend appointments are available, reach out to discuss scheduling.

If you don't see your plan listed, reach out, it's worth a quick conversation. Insurance panels can change, and this page may not always reflect the most current status.

Sliding scale

A limited number of sliding scale spots are available for clients who demonstrate financial need. If cost is a barrier, please mention it when you reach out, there's no shame in asking, and it won't affect the quality of care you receive. Inquire about sliding scale availability.

Good Faith Estimate

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your mental health care will cost. You can request one at any time. For questions about the Good Faith Estimate or your billing rights, ask during your consultation or intake appointment.
