Will My Health Insurance Cover Therapy?

In many cases, you can use your health insurance coverage for therapy services.
Insurance plans vary, so it’s important to understand your specific benefits. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to get a clear understanding of your coverage and how it applies to therapy services

When is my copay due if I’m doing telehealth instead of coming into the office?

Copays are due on the day of your appointment, even if you are participating in telehealth sessions.

I’ve never talked to anyone about my problems before. I’m used to handling things on my own. Aren’t people who go to therapy weak?

Not at all. Seeking help takes strength and self-awareness. Recognizing when you need support is a sign of resilience, not weakness. Everyone faces challenges, and reaching out for guidance shows courage. In our work together, we’ll identify your strengths and work on using them to help you navigate the challenges you’re facing.

What’s the difference between talking to you and talking to my best friend or family?

While friends and family can offer valuable support, a mental health professional brings specialized training and experience to help you approach your situation in a new way. I can offer you practical tools, a fresh perspective, and an unbiased, non-judgmental space. In addition, our sessions are completely confidential, so you don’t need to worry about others knowing your personal business. Lastly, if you’ve been confiding in loved ones, the emotional nature of your situation may affect your relationship with them, whereas therapy provides a professional space to work through your feelings.

How does therapy work? What should I expect in a session?

Each session will be personalized to fit your unique needs. In our work together, I will adapt my approach to best support your goals. You can expect a safe, collaborative space where we explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges to help you move forward.

How long will therapy take?

The length of therapy varies from person to person and depends on your unique circumstances. It depends on factors like your personal goals, commitment to the process, and the nature of the challenges you're facing. Together, we’ll assess your progress and determine the best course of action.
