How it Works

Your first visit will be a Comprehensive Evaluation with a detailed review of your health history and symptoms.  A functional assessment will also be performed.  Photos will need to be uploaded to your Patient Portal prior to the appointment.  The evaluation will be performed via a tele-health platform.  You can expect a 90-minute appointment for the first visit.  An explanation of your symptoms will be discussed.  You should plan on a Comprehensive Evaluation Fee of $225 for this visit which will be collected at the time of service.  

Generally, you should expect 12 therapy sessions which may last up to 45 minutes each session, every 2 weeks for 6- 8 months. You will be expected to do physical therapy types of exercises for a few minutes, 2 times every day during treatment to achieve excellent results.  

Costs

12-session program is $2,400.00 You can pay for your therapy as one lump sum or spread into 3 monthly payments.  If paid in full prior to the first session, a 5% discount will be credited to your account.  

Mini-Myo is $500  This program is for ages 3-5 (possibly up to age 6) who are not ready for a structured therapy program.  We meet for 3 sessions spread over 3-4 month period. The focus is establishing tongue posture and guiding the next steps to other providers if needed.  Myofunctional activities will be given.  

Additional cost: A supply kit will be mailed for use during Myofunctional Therapy.  The kit is included in the therapy fee, however, if it needs to be replaced due to loss there is a $45 restocking fee.  

Insurance: I do not accept medical or dental insurance, however, I do accept HSA or FSA card payments.  It is recommended to reach out to your card issuer to clarify coverage from those accounts. 

Goals: There are four goals of Myofunctional Therapy:

• Nasal breathing day & night
• Tongue on the roof of mouth day & night
• Lips closed together day & night 
• Proper swallowing

Other Providers: Often times myofunctional therapy is a team approach to your underlying challenges.  I will often work with your other health care providers to accomplish your goals.
