The first step will be a 10-15 minute complimentary consultation call where we can learn more about what you’re looking, share more about how we work, and answer any questions you may have. To set up a consultation call, you can schedule directly, complete a contact form, or call or text us. However you reach out, you’ll be sure to hear back.

If you decide to move forward after the consultation call, we’ll send you paperwork to fill out electronically prior to your intake appointment.

During your intake appointment, you and your therapist will get to know each other, discuss your goals for therapy, and collaborate on a plan for what therapy will look like together.

It’s important you feel like you and your therapist have a strong therapeutic alliance. We encourage you to ask your therapist questions in the consultation call and first session to get a sense of whether it feels like a good match, although sometimes this takes more time to figure out.

If you decide your therapist is not the right fit for you, we suggest bringing it to your therapist’s attention. We are always happy to offer you referrals to other trusted therapists, and will be grateful to be a stepping stone in your journey to the right one.

The frequency of your sessions will depend on your individual needs and goals. We typically recommend meeting once per week to start building the therapeutic relationship and maintain consistency.

That being said, our treatment plan can be flexible and change based on your needs and progress. Ultimately, it’s most important that you feel supported and we’ll work together to make that happen.

How long you’re in therapy depends on your individual needs and goals, and there’s no one “right” time frame. Sometimes, people experience significant gains from therapy almost immediately. Others require longer to start feeling better.

You may also have a sense of what you’re looking for — you may be seeking therapy to tackle a specific or time-limited problem, or you may have longer-term goals.

There is no right or wrong, and once we learn more about you we will create a plan to approach therapy together.

Some of our therapists are paneled with Lyra Health.

Otherwise, we are out-of-network providers which means we do not accept insurance. Your therapist will provide you with a monthly superbill which you can use to submit a claim for reimbursement through your insurance depending on your policy.

We can also handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. In this case, you would have the option to pay your co-insurance for our sessions (if you have met your deductible) instead of paying the full fee and waiting for reimbursements. During the intake process, your therapist can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much you can expect to get back per session.

If you choose to submit superbills yourself, we recommend asking your insurance company the following questions to find out about your out-of-network benefits:

1. Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

2. What is my deductible for out-of-network mental health benefits?

3. Is there a limit on the number of sessions my plan will cover per year?

4. What is the allowable amount for CPT codes 90791 (diagnostic interview) and 90834 (ongoing therapy 45-50 minutes)?

5. Does my plan require pre-authorization for psychotherapy by a physician?

6. Do you reimburse for sessions with therapists under supervision, such as Registered Associate Clinical Social Workers (ASWs) and Associate Marriage and Family Therapists (AMFTs)?
