Everyone's therapy journey is different and how long you stay in therapy will depend on your specific therapy needs, barriers, and treatment goals. We will discuss this more in your intake session and work together to figure out what is best for you.
We recommend scheduling sessions once/week for the first 4 weeks. This provides more opportunities to build trust with your therapist so you can feel comfortable before diving into the "work" of therapy. After that first month you and your therapist will reassess frequency based on your individual therapy needs, goals, and barriers.
Therapeutic relationships and coaching relationships look extremely different. Therapy is clinically focused on mental health and symptom management, while coaching is focused more on personal growth, identifying barriers, and creating action steps to accomplishing your goals. Because of this, both coaching & therapy services are not provided at the same time to the same client. However, once a therapy client "graduates" and is able to effectively manage mental health symptoms, they can transition to a coaching client if they would like.
Yes, we currently accept Aetna, Cigna and Optum plans for virtual therapy sessions. Unfortunately walk & talk therapy sessions and coaching services are not covered by insurance (not our rules!) and must be paid via self-pay/out of pocket.
See our "Rates" page for accepted insurance plan details and current self-pay rates and packages.
There are some situations where virtual therapy/telehealth isn't a good fit for a client. Barriers may include: safety risk is present, focus/concentration ability, age, lack of private space or strong internet connection, etc. During your initial consultation we will discuss if virtual therapy is a good option for you.
Just like with virtual therapy, walk & talk therapy also isn't a good fit for every client. Examples of barriers include: medical issues, physical limitations, age, transportation issues, etc. During your initial consultation or intake session we will determine if walk & talk is appropriate.
