What to Expect from Teen Therapy

Intake

During the first session, we take time to understand your teen’s background, emotional state, and current challenges. Working together, we set realistic goals and design a tailored therapy plan that suits their needs.

Sessions

Typically, therapy for teens lasts around 8 or more sessions, depending on the severity of the issues. We offer various therapeutic approaches, from mental health therapy for teens focused on anxiety and depression to trauma therapy for teens recovering from difficult experiences.

Maintenance

As your teen progresses, we monitor their growth and adjust their treatment plan as needed. We also offer maintenance sessions to ensure that progress continues, even after the initial therapy period.

Examples of Our Clients’ Success

Options for Payment

Out-of-Pocket

Payment for services can be made by cash, check or debit/credit through our client portal. Clients who will not be using In or Out-of-Network insurance benefits or upon request will receive a Good Faith Estimate for services.

FSA and HSA Accounts

Flexible Spending Accounts / Health Savings Accounts are often used for services with any of our clinicians. Contact your account provider to verify your allowable expenses.

Out-of-Network Benefits

Out-of-network benefits for most insurance companies can be used for individual therapy with our fully licensed counselors. When using out of network benefits, you will need to, verify your benefits and then submit claims to your insurance provider. See our instructions and tools below to help you with this process.

Therapy is an investment.  Using your Out-of-Network benefits, your HSA, FSA or lower cost clinician can offset the cost.  For out of network benefit use, we recommend the following steps to help make it easier on you.  

1.  Check your Benefits.  You can do this by calling the number on the back of your insurance card or you can use our insurance checker. As an out-of-network practice, we have partnered with Mentaya to help our clients save money on therapy. See if you qualify for reimbursement for our services.  Please note that only our fully licensed therapists qualify for OON reimbursement and that insurance policies covers individuals.

2.  Attend and pay for sessions and save your invoices.  Invoices generated by our fully licensed therapists are considered “Superbills” or Insurance Reimbursement Receipts.  You can use the information and codes on these invoices to help you with claim submissions with your insurance. 

3.  Submit claims to your insurance.  This can be done directly with your insurance company or through a third party, for usually a minimal cost.  We recommend you document everything and prepare for a wait.  Our practice is registered with Reimbursify, which is an application that clients can use to make submitting claims easier and faster.  Our office receives no benefit from clients using their services, but some of our clients have found that this application has been helpful to get their OON benefits.
