Questions About Our New Client Process?
We’ve got answers below! If you have a question not listed here, please feel free to reach out and we’d be happy to help.
1.
Do you take my insurance?
Our clinic works with most major insurance companies. If you have questions about coverage, we recommend calling your insurance directly for benefit and eligibility information.
2.
How do I complete the intake paperwork?
We use a program called TherapyNotes. You’ll receive an email from noreply@therapyportal.com with a link prompting you to create a client portal. The account will be linked to your email, and once set up, all the paperwork can be filled out electronically.
3.
In person or telehealth?
Most of our therapists offer both. Most insurance providers require an in-person visit at least once per year. You and your therapist will work out what suits you best.
4.
What should I expect during the intake session?
Your first visit is about 55-60 minutes. As a State Certified clinic, therapists are required to gather background information and a detailed history during the intake. Future appointments will focus more on the therapy process itself.
