Meet Alice West-Goers

Over the past 12 years, what I have admired most about working with clients has been their resilience and tenacity. I’ve learned a lot from my clients and continue to be amazed by their ongoing growth and self-awareness when faced with adversity. I work from a strengths based perspective, in which I see myself as an agent of change to promote and facilitate emotional healing. I’ve worked in various community settings and have served children, adolescents, adults and families. It would be my pleasure to support you, your child/adolescent or family in discovering and working towards emotional healing. 


During a service learning trip to Ghana, Africa I came across this quote, “Hye Won Hye”, which means, that which cannot burn. This quote helped me understand that we all have the ability to overcome obstacles and adversity, and to literally walk through the fire and come out with a “resilient mind."Depression, anxiety, grief, loss, and trauma are some of the challenges that may leave you feeling overwhelmed and incapable. 


I am ready to walk with you on this journey of emotional healing and support you, your child/adolescent or family through the past, present and future challenges you may be facing. If you feel that I can support you, please give me a call for a free 15 minute phone consultation.

No Surprise Act Disclosure Notice   No Surprises Act Disclosure Notice YOUR RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS AGAINST SURPRISE MEDICAL BILLS(OMB Control Number: 0938-1401)
When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatorysurgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing.
What is “balance billing” (sometimes called “surprise billing”)? When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs, such as a copayment, coinsurance, and/or a deductible. You may have other costs or have to pay the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a health care facility that isn’t in your health plan’s network.  
“Out-of-network” describes providers and facilities that haven’t signed a contract with your health plan. Out-of-network providers may be permitted to bill you for the difference between what your plan agreed to pay and the full amount charged for a service. This is called “balance billing.” This amount is likely more than in-network costs for the same service and might not count toward your annual out-of-pocket limit.  
“Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care – like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in-network facility but are unexpectedly treatedby an out-of-network provider.
You are protected from balance billing for: ​
Emergency servicesIf you have an emergency medical condition and get emergency services from an out-of-network provider or facility, the most the provider or facility may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount (such as copayments and coinsurance). You can’t be balance billed for these emergenc y services. This includes services you may get after you’re in stable  condition, unless you give written consent and give up your protections not to be balanced billed for these post-stabilization services.
Certain services at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections  not tobe balance billed.
If you get other services at these in-network facilities, out-of-network providers can’t balance  bill you unless yougive written consent and give up your protections.
You’re never required to give up your protection from balance billing. You also aren’t required to get care out-of-network. You can choose a provider or facility in your plan’s network.
When balance billing isn’t allowed, you also have the following protections:  You are only responsible for paying your share of the cost (like the copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles that you would pay if the provider or facility was in-network). Your health plan will pay out-of-network providers and facilities.
Your health plan generally must: Cover emergency services without requiring you to get approval for services in advance (priorauthorization).  
Cover emergency services by out-of-network  
Base what you owe the provider or facility (cost-sharing) on what it would pay an in-network provider or facility and show that amount in your explanation of  
Count any amount you pay for emergency services or out-of-network services toward yourdeductible and out-of-pocket    
If you believe you’ve been wrongly billed, you may contact: No Surprises Help  Desk at 1-800-985-3059 from 8 am to 8 pm EST, 7 days a week or submit a complaint online at https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises/consumers.  ​
