• What is my co-payment (if applicable)?
• Do I need prior authorization?
• Do I need approval from my primary care provider?
• How do I submit a super bill? Is there an online portal or do I have to mail or fax a copy?
• What is the time limit to submit a super bill?

Typically, weekly meetings are preferred to begin therapy. After an initial intake session, you will discuss treatment goals and plans with your counselor. As progress is made, sessions may be moved to every other week. The number of sessions required to reach goals will vary. Some clients reach their goals in weeks while others need months or years. More progress is usually seen when sessions are held on a consistent basis. Sessions last for 45-50 minutes.

You or your child will be matched with the therapist that is the best fit for the goals and developmental needs for therapy. You will have a free initial call with your therapist to make sure that it is a good fit. If so, the therapist will send consent and intake paperwork through our client portal. The first session will be an intake session where history, current functioning and goals will be discussed. Depending on the type of therapy and the age of the child, the intake session will either be individual, just parents, or parents and the child. Developing a trusting relationship with you and/or your child is key to a successful therapeutic experience. Your counselor will spend the first couple sessions getting to know you and your child and helping them to feel comfortable sharing their inner world.
