About Kay Guinto (She/Her)
Kay Guinto, Office Assistant
My mantra has always been to make an impact and to be a blessing to people’s lives. Making myself here in this field allowed me to be of service to clients and colleagues to help and support them to the best of my ability.
My philosophy is to work with integrity and to put my heart into everything that I do, as my passion is to help without asking for anything in return. This relates to my work as we deal with mental health hence data integrity is important as we build a community where our clients feels safe, heard, and protected.
I would say that my greatest superpower is making things happen through consistency and determination, and that’s what makes me unique. I have this perception in life that I would say stands out among the rest: suffering is not a punishment but a lesson given to us to become compassionate, test our resilience, and be grateful for what we have today, tomorrow, and in the future.
How I Approach My Work And Life Outside Of It
The memories we make with our family are everything.” – Candace Cameron Bure
This is a quote that we live by. As parents, we instill in our children that when they grow up and have a family of their own, they should do the same so their offspring become confident, well-mannered, with values, and contented human beings without any trace of jealousy.
Work-life balance is important to me. Outside of work, it is imperative for me to spend time with my family and reconnect with them. We are home buddies, so our go-to activities every weekend are going to church, dining at a good restaurant, and malling or watching a quality movie at home. We travel once in a while to explore their culture and food and to experience their daily lives.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Practice
Sessions are conducted primarily online via telehealth. If you are interested in meeting with a provider in-person, please contact our office at (207) 316-2609 to discuss availability for in-person sessions.
In general, we accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield (Anthem, Premera, Regence, etc.), Cigna, PacificSource, and Providence. That said, the insurances our providers work with can vary from provider to provider. To learn what insurances a provider accepts, please visit their About page or contact our office at (207) 316-2609. In addition, we recommend that you check with your insurance company prior to initiating services to ensure we are in-network and to determine your patient responsibility for sessions. If at any time we discover we are not in-network with your insurance, you will be responsible for the full costs of all sessions (past and future).
We do not accept Medicaid and Medicare.
We do not work with EAPs.
In addition to the accepted insurances listed above, our services are available to self-pay clients and those with out-of-network benefits.
For individuals using insurance to cover appointments, the cost of appointments is determined by each insurance’s contracted rates with our organization. Thus, the cost of appointments may be notably different than the cost of appointments for individuals who are self-pay. Furthermore, the cost of appointments may vary from session to session depending on several factors to include the length of the appointment and the complexity of the appointment. If you plan to use insurance, our office can provide a better estimate of costs once you provide your insurance information. Please contact us at (207) 316-2609 if you require further assistance.
For individuals who are self-pay:
Rates vary depending on type of service (therapy vs. medication management) and length of session. Please contact our office for additional information.
Payments are completed through our patient portal. Payments can be made using major credit/debit cards (American Express, Visa, Mastercard, etc.) as well as FSAs and HSAs.
Our policy is to collect payments before rendering services. However, we cannot always predict the cost of sessions in advance because services and length of sessions may vary from appointment to appointment. For clients using insurance, you will likely be responsible for either a co-pay or for paying the full costs of sessions until your deductible is met. Please ensure you fully understand your insurance benefits to prevent future billing concerns.
Regardless of your insurance status and payment method, we will always be as up-front with you as possible about the cost of treatment.
We have therapists with immediate availability. To schedule an intake assessment with one of our therapists, please visit our scheduling page.
To inquire about medication management services with our PMHNP, please contact our office at (207) 316-2609.
Clients must cancel or reschedule appointments at least 48 hours before their appointment. If appointments are not canceled or rescheduled with at least 48 hours’ notice, or if clients do not show to their appointment, they will be charged a late cancellation fee of $150. To ensure we treat all clients consistently and ethically and to be respectful of our providers’ time, we must enforce our late cancellation and no-show policy. Fees incurred for late cancellations and no shows are out-of-pockets expenses. They cannot be billed to insurance.
