JOIN THE COLLECTIVE
A place to belong and to heal
Membership at Root and River Collective, LLC gives you ongoing access to our third space, therapy, movement, community, and support all grounded in choice, connection, and care.
More than a session a community
Healing doesn't happen in a single hour a week. It happens in the spaces between in connection, in rhythm, in showing up over time. Membership is built around that understanding.

Insurance Options
Root and River Collective is in-network with
BlueCross BlueShield of Vermont
PRIVATE PAY PRACTICE vs INSURANCE
Why we limit the insurance we work with.
It is a deliberate choice to work with one insurance company. We want to provide access to quality care and we want to limit the number of clients our clinicians see. It is always your choice to utilize your insurance or be a private pay client. Private pay affords you the ability to ensure your autonomy, privacy, and care that isn't constrained by outside systems.
We know that cost is a real concern, and we take that seriously. Sliding scale spots are available, and we're always willing to have an honest conversation about what's workable.

You Records Stay Private
Insurance companies require access to your clinical records and diagnosis. As a private pay practice, what happens in session stays between you and your clinician full stop.
-
No Required Diagnosis
Insurance coverage requires a billable mental health diagnosis and that diagnosis becomes part of your permanent record. We don't believe a label should be the price of admission to care.
-
Care That Isn't Managed by a Third Party
Insurance companies determine how many sessions you get, what treatment approaches are "covered," and when care ends. We believe those decisions belong to you and your clinician.
-
Superbills for Out-Of-Network Benefits
If you have out-of-network benefits, we can provide a superbill, a detailed receipt, you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
