How do you help me find the right therapist?

We may ask a few questions about what you are looking for so we can help match you with a therapist or counseling service that fits your needs. Our team offers support for concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationships, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm.

What happens during the first therapy session?

During your first counseling session, your therapist will spend time getting to know you, your history, and what brings you to therapy. Together, you will begin building treatment goals and identifying the support that may be most helpful for your needs.

Do you accept insurance?

Most of our therapists accept Blue Cross and Blue Shield, as well as out-of-pocket payment. We can also provide a superbill, which you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement using out-of-network benefits. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage.

How often will I need to come to counseling?

In the beginning, we often recommend weekly counseling sessions. Meeting weekly helps build rapport, gives your therapist a clearer understanding of your background and goals, and can support steady progress early in the therapy process.
