Please note that “Medicare” can come in various products, including Medicare Advantage programs managed by commercial payers and managed care entities. These programs are not aligned in their policies about provider credentials and may not allow for BEW providers to provide services. Please inquire and BEW can check on benefits.

BEW is committed to creating and sustaining a safe therapeutic environment for all people with sensitivity to social location and all forms of marginalization, including nationality, religion, justice involvement, gender, race, class, gender identity, neurodiversity, and gender preference. 

We work with all different relationship styles including and not limited to: monogamy, polyamory, non-hierarchical, and relationship anarchists.

BEW does not have the expertise or supervisory capacity to offer Substance Use Disorder services or services for victims or perpetrators of domestic violence and will refer to organizations who are better equipped.
