Questions

Frequently asked questions

All FAQs →
Can telehealth therapy really be as effective as in-person sessions?
Absolutely. Our telehealth sessions are designed to offer the same level of effectiveness as in-person therapy, backed by research and positive outcomes from our clients. Utilizing the latest in digital communication technology, we ensure a secure, confidential, and engaging environment that supports deep and meaningful therapeutic work. However, if you prefer in-person therapy, we offer in-person sessions as well.
How do I get matched with a therapist?
Our matching process is designed with your needs and preferences at the forefront. After you complete a brief intake form detailing your therapy goals, preferences, and any specific concerns, our team of mental health professionals carefully selects a therapist who best matches your requirements.
How do you make therapy affordable and what about insurance coverage?
We strive to make therapy accessible and affordable. Our pricing is transparent, and we offer a range of payment options, including insurance coverage and sliding scale fees for those who qualify. Our team is here to help you navigate payment and insurance options. See insurance and costs.
How do you guarantee privacy during online therapy sessions?
We prioritize your privacy and confidentiality using HIPAA-compliant platforms for all our online sessions. These platforms feature end-to-end encryption, ensuring that your conversations and data are secure. Additionally, our therapists adhere to strict privacy policies, ensuring that everything discussed remains confidential.
I have a busy schedule. How can I fit therapy into my life?
We understand the demands of modern life, which is why we offer flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend appointments, through both our in-person and telehealth services.
What is the wait time to start therapy after signing up?
We aim to minimize wait times as much as possible. Our team works diligently to match you with a therapist quickly, often within a few days of completing your intake form.
