About Meridian Practice
Mission
Meridian Practice was started by Dr. Lauren Wadsworth, PhD ABPP with a goal of providing trustworthy evidence based therapy with no wait time. In the midst of a therapist shortage and significant need, especially in Western NY and the suburbs of Rochester and Buffalo, we strive to make it easy and fast for people to find a skilled therapist. Clients can start therapy within a week of contacting Meridian.
Our Style: Therapy is personalized for individuals to process and explore their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and to learn skills to meet their goals. All of our providers are trained in evidence based techniques (e.g., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, etc.) for treating anxiety, depression, and other challenges.
We offer telehealth and in person services in Rochester NY.
Fees & Reimbursement
Fees: Our services are self pay. Meridian does not take insurance, and does not bill insurance directly.
We do accept HSA and FSA payments.
We will provide you with a “superbill” each month for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Sessions range from $200-300
When asking your insurance company about reimbursement, we suggest asking the following questions:
Do you offer reimbursement/coverage for an out-of-network provider?
What is the rate reimbursed for an out of network PhD, or LMHC?
They may ask you for the provider’s name. Please see our “therapists” page for names of our therapists, along with their degree.
Some of our providers work in multiple locations, you’d be calling about their work at Meridian Psychology Practice, PLLC, the billing address is South Street, Geneseo NY 14454 (but please note most of our therapists see clients in Rochester and Buffalo offices)
