Everyone at Taproot works somatically and experientially. Nobody here will spend a year asking how that makes you feel; we go into the nervous system, the body and the story underneath it. What differs is what each therapist has lived, studied and trained in. Every clinician below sees clients at our Hoover office off I-65 at the Riverchase exit and by secure video anywhere in Alabama.

- 3First session
History, what you want, and a somatic map of where it lives in your body, so the plan starts from data.

Cost, insurance and teletherapy
We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama for most clinicians. Private-pay and out-of-network sessions are $250, with an income-based sliding scale, and we send a monthly superbill with the codes your insurer needs for out-of-network reimbursement. Secure video sessions are available anywhere in Alabama on the same sliding scale.
