What Can I Expect During Therapy?

A therapy session generally lasts 50 minutes, with a few minutes reserved for reviewing topics covered in the session and scheduling the next appointment. First sessions are always an assessment, where you and your therapist will review pertinent history. Your therapist will guide the discussion to ensure they collect all of the required information. Generally, second sessions are spent establishing goals for treatment and discussing your treatment plan. Subsequent sessions are spent processing and healing in whatever ways you and your therapist see fit.

How Long Does It Take To Complete Therapy?

There is no general timeline for completing therapy. Most therapists recommend meeting weekly and graduating to less sessions over time. You and your therapist can discuss how long therapy may take, but oftentimes we can’t anticipate additional needs that may arise in your work together.

What Does "In-Network" Mean?

In-Network means we are covered under your insurance plan. Please check with your insurance to ensure we are an approved provider.

What Is A Deductible?

Your deductible is the amount paid out of pocket by the policyholder before an insurance provider will pay certain expenses. Depending on your plan, you may be responsible for the full cost of therapy until your deductible is met. Please refer to your insurance provider for details.

What Is A Copay?

A copay is the amount you owe each session. Some plans have a certain dollar amount owed to see a mental health provider. We will do our best to gather this information prior to your first session.
