News and updates

Training announcement for Vermonter Mental Health Professionals!

Have your TF-EMDR training costs covered by a VSAC Advancement Grant!

Read VSAC's announcement about it here. This partnership expands both access to Vermont professionals AND Vermont mental health patients to the ability to bring real trauma healing in the outdoors. We've had success with this already in 2025, with some Vermonter therapists receiving this support.

So, are you a Vermont-based mental health professional interested in this? The first step is to get EMDRIA Trained in EMDR (or from an international equivalent), if you have not done so already. If you are EMDRIA Trained in EMDR, apply for an Advancement Grant and sign up or request a training... in either order! Grants can be used to cover a cohort-based course or private course, and can be used up to one year from being granted.

So, what's next for you? Contact Tony today if you have any questions!

We hope to see you soon!

Pricing

Fees for services vary due to a number of factors.

Seiyu Institute for Health & Training is considered in-network with BCBS PPO plans in most states where counselors are licensed. If you are seeking psychotherapy and are a BCBS member, contracted rates may be lower or higher than what is listed above.

Out of Network (OON) billing, we prefer to use Mentaya to make your personal reimbursement easier and more affordable up front.

Alternative/non-clinical Services can involve such modalities as Quantum Hypnosis Healing Technique (QHHT), Beyond Quantum Healing (BQH), universal/personal energy-focused wellness consultation (Reiki, Meditation, EFT, more), and personal life coaching.

*Non-clinical services are done from a consultation or coaching perspective, and according to the practitioners' training in the respective approaches. They do not involve a diagnostic evaluation, mental health diagnosis, or treatment plan and cannot be billed or considered as psychotherapy or counseling.

Missed appointment/late cancelation policy for services

Two business days are required to cancel a one-hour appointment. Extended or intensive appointments are non-refundable despite the reason for cancelation, due to the specialized and custom nature of the scheduling. All late or missed appointments, except in cases of environmental or medical emergency, are charged using the authorized billing method at the full rate of the services scheduled. Discounts may be applied at the discretion of the clinical director. For questions about this policy, please reach out.
