FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. ISN'T THERAPY FOR THOSE THAT ARE WEAK?

It takes courage to face the hard stuff.  You may have recognized that something isn’t working and you find yourself here. You don't have to do it alone. There's a specialized person to help with that! Just like going to your MD for your physical health, a licensed mental health professional can provide valuable tools, resources, process traumas and stressors, and help you stretch and strengthen your mental health muscles and relational systems. Life is too short to have conflict in relationships with ourselves and others. Authentic, connected, joyful relationships are possible! Get connected to us today. 


2. WHAT HAPPENS DURING A THERAPY SESSION?

The most productive therapy is one where there is an authentic, respectful relationship. It’s important that you feel connection and support to do the work with your therapist. Fit is important, and as such we begin therapy by getting to know each other through an intake session. During this session, the focus is on building comfort with the process, exploring the reasons you are seeking help, and getting acquainted with goals, values and the treatment plan. Together we develop a plan and pathway for you to reach your goals. Therapy provides a safe space to explore stressors, challenge thought patterns, explore relationship dynamics and work through past and current hurts.


3. HOW LONG DOES THIS PROCESS TAKE?

The length of time this process takes is based on the individual, as well as the presenting needs. You and your therapist will discuss the frequency and timing of sessions to best fit your needs and goals. It is usually advised that we begin with regular weekly visits to build momentum and regularly evaluate progress, adjusting as needed.


4. DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?

Yes. We are in-network with BCBS, Anthem, Health Partners, Aetna, UCare, Medical Assistance, Medica, UBH, and UHC.

We believe in providing the care that is needed as determined by you and your therapist, and sometimes there are limits set by insurance companies. As a self-pay client, you are empowered as the client to pick your ideal provider and not deal with in-network insurance providers. You have choice in the treatment length and the treatment approach right for you. We accept credit card and cash as forms of payment, and will provide receipt for reimbursement for FSA/HSA accounts. Our cost of services is $155 per session with a sliding scale available.


5. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND TALKING WITH A FRIEND?

Friends and family are great, and connection with them is important. But, as mental health professionals, we have some extra things to offer. We can help you achieve wellness in a safe, confidential, structured environment. One that equips you with confidence to learn and use new skills, reflect on unbiased support, challenge perspectives, empathetic and non-judgemental listening as well as open you up to new tools, techniques and solutions. Our job is to support all of the aspects of your mental health, even the ones that are painful, emotional and vulnerable.


6. DO YOU OFFER SESSIONS IN PERSON?

We offer our services in-person and virtually (also known as telehealth). We are licensed to serve residents in Minnesota. To maintain your confidentiality, a HIPPA compliant telehealth platform is used. Telehealth is an efficient, flexible, and safe way to get your mental health needs met from your own home.
