CareCredit Card deferred interest for 12 months payment plans.
CareCredit/Synchrony Bank is a credit application that allows you to charge an amount, make a minimum monthly payment while interest is deferred for 12 months. If the total amount is paid off by the end of the promotional period of 12 months, the interest is waived. If the total amount is not paid in full at the end of the period, all interest that has accrued from the payment date is added to the balance. You may apply directly for this line of credit or learn more by visiting https://www.carecredit.com/go/699QNJ/. Credit issued under the CareCredit Program is extended by Synchrony Bank and not by your health and wellness provider/retailer (e.g. the Program is NOT an in-house credit program).
This is a great option IF you know that you will be able to pay the full amount soon but do not have cash on hand. If you do not think paying the full amount by the end of the promotional period will be possible, consider other options that may have more favorable interest rates, such as "pay-over-time" plans on your existing credit cards that may reduce interest rates.
I do not accept insurance at this time, but I am able to provide you with a "superbill" as an out-of-network provider. Most people are able to submit these to their insurance for coverage and reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider to understand these benefits.
I see clients in Florida through Live Oak Behavioral Health. Please schedule a consult for more information and to set up an intake.

Coaching for Women
20-min meet-and-greet discovery call- No cost.
Let's talk about how I can help you move forward and what would work best for you. Contact me to get started.
Check-in Subscription: 20 minute sessions 1x/week as needed- $200/month ($50/session)
Quick coaching for those super stressful moments when you can't see through the chaos. Initial intake session is required for this subscription.
By the session: Intake: $175 (60-90 minutes); $150/hour for 60 minute sessions
3 hour mapping package: $400 for a package of 3 60-min meetings; Group rate- $100/pp/hour for 2-8 people. How much of your time have you spent trying to map out what you really want to be doing? Invest in yourself and make it happen. A real plan.
3 month coaching package: Based on my work with clients, I have found that coaching often works best with a longer time period. Let's meet for 3 months every other week, for accountability check-ins, task planning, and coaching. We will review your schedule and calendar, talk about commitments and choices, and work to build a concrete support network and plan that is sustainable and realistic. $800
Mentorship or coaching is focused on specific goals and strategizing, with a solution-focused and process-defining orientation. Mentorship is not the same as therapy. I am happy to set up a call to see if this is right for you, and I always refer out when more intensively personal support of a therapy nature is recommended. Sometimes the lines get blurry, since our careers can be deeply personal, but I keep mentoring/coaching and therapy services separate, both for Best Practices reasons and for liability reasons. You deserve the best level and type of support, so I endeavor to always be clear about how I can best offer support, and when it might not be right for what you need at a moment in time.
Are you seeking therapy services rather than mentorship? Schedule a call to discuss.
Meetings are held in a secure video-call setting and payments can be made through that secure platform.

IMPORTANT PAYMENT NOTICES
If a client purchases or prepays for a package or set number of sessions and is unable to complete the total number of sessions for emergency, medical, family caregiving, or employment reasons, a refund may be issued to the original form of payment for the unused sessions only, if rescheduling is not an option. Payment will not be refunded for sessions used, sessions cancelled within 24 hours, or for no-shows, and the full session rate will be retained for such sessions.
Clients must negotiate credit lines or interest rates and payments directly with offering entities, although package options (e.g. deferred interest promotional plans) may be associated with the provider. Think Forward Consulting and Tracy Wharton have no involvement in the offering or checking of credit and are never given access to client credit information beyond providing application information or required card information to process the payment. Secure portals will be used for charges and clients are responsible for the information entered.
Credit issued under the CareCredit Program is extended by Synchrony Bank and not by your health and wellness provider/retailer (e.g. the Program is NOT an in-house credit program).
Payment must be made at time of service unless otherwise agreed to and a written agreement is signed by both provider and client.
A $100 cancellation fee will be charged for cancellations within 24 hours unless a waiver is requested for emergencies that may occur.
Life does happen, so please call or email as soon as possible to cancel your appointment and request a waiver of the fee.
Payment for the full session rate is charged for no-shows, unless an emergency waiver is agreed to. A minimum fee of $100 will be charged. If the provider cancels or is unable to meet for a session, no fee will be charged for that session.
