What is psychotherapy? Psychotherapy is a process that many believe is shrouded in mystery, but it doesn't have to be that way. Therapists are normal people who usually chose their profession because they care about other people, they're good listeners, and they want to help.
What is individual therapy? Individual therapy is when one client meets with one therapist for traditional talk therapy.
What does a therapist do, and how can they help me?
ï‚· Therapists act as a neutral party who can listen and try to understand without judgment.
ï‚· Therapists help you learn about yourself by pointing out patterns and giving honest feedback.
ï‚· Therapists teach specific techniques and strategies to deal with problems.
ï‚· Therapists can refer you to additional resources in the community that might be helpful.
ï‚· Therapists provide a safe place to learn and practice social skills.
Is there a sliding scale fee? This is based on financial hardship and can be discussed and mutually agreed upon with therapist.
When is payment due? For private pay clients the full payment is due at the time of the therapy session. For clients using their insurance but must pay a co-pay, the co-pay is due at the time of the therapy session.
What is your appointment and cancellation policy? Cancellations and re-scheduled session will be subject to a full charge if NOT RECEIVED AT LEAST 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. If you are late for a session, you may lose some of that session time.
Are you offering in-person services? At this time, we exclusively offer virtual appointments via Telehealth.
What is the benefit of not using insurance? While using insurance to cover the cost of therapy treatment often makes therapy more accessible, there are some important things to consider. Using insurance may take away more of your control over your confidentiality. Insurance companies can request records and information related to your treatment and diagnosis at any time. Additionally, by using insurance your mental health records build a profile over time and may show pre-existing conditions. This may make buying health, disability, and life insurance harder and more expensive for you and your family.
Insurance companies may limit the amount of sessions that you can have in a given plan year. They may also dictate what constitutes justification for treatment. This means that if you are seeking therapy for proactive wellness and holistic care, and there is no actual mental health diagnosis, your insurance company may not cover your treatment.
