A Place To Begin
Is Your Child Struggling to Adjust?
A move, a divorce, a new school, a loss in the family: big changes can turn a child's world upside down, even when the change is a good one. Kids often cannot explain what they are feeling, so it tends to come out in their behavior, mood, or schoolwork.
At (Re)Connect in Towson, MD, we provide therapy for kids and teens facing life transitions that goes beyond talking. Using skills-based approaches like CBT and DBT, we help young people process what is changing and build the coping tools to feel steady again, and we support parents through it too.

Some kids need time and a safe space before the words come.

Why Private Pay?
Why We Don't Take Insurance
Insurance companies can dictate how many sessions you're approved for, and sometimes which providers you're allowed to see. Working outside of insurance means it's you and your therapist deciding what your care looks like, for as long as you need it.
Because we're not billing insurance directly, the details of what you're working through in session aren't routinely shared with a third party. If you'd like to submit for reimbursement, we'll only include what's needed for a superbill.
Insurance-based care is often built around short-term, symptom-focused treatment. Working privately gives us the flexibility to go at the pace that's right for you, whether that's a few months or longer-term support.
Being an out-of-network practice lets our therapists spend their time and attention on client care rather than insurance paperwork and pre-authorizations.
Can I still use my insurance?
Yes. We're an out-of-network provider, and you can use your insurance if your plan includes out-of-network coverage (most PPOs do). We'll provide you with a monthly superbill you can send to your insurance company for reimbursement. Many of our clients receive at least 50% back from their insurance companies.

We work with kids and teens facing moves, new schools, divorce or separation, blended families, new siblings, the loss of a loved one, and other major transitions.
