**Free 15 minute consultations will be provided to those seeking to be added to the waitlist. ​ The Consultation form will need to be completed prior to requesting an appointment as a new client. Outside of normal session hours, availability for the 15 minute consultations is not always possible. Many of the questions in the FAQs are asked in addition to other information provided on the site, such as education, licensure, etc. during a consultation. Are you looking to learn if you and the therapist are a good fit? Are you wanting to know if you can be helped by the therapist? Are you wanting some quick tips or skills from the therapist? If so, you will benefit from an intake appointment with the therapist and not from a 10-20 minute consultation. Consultations have been encouraged to learn of the therapists style, to see if you click with them, to see if you feel safe with them and welcomed by them, and to see if schedules align. With this in mind, detailed information has been provided throughout the website to help you make your decision. Learn more here.

Initial sessions last 60 minutes and are up to 90 minutes. Follow up sessions for individuals are typically 45-60 minutes. Follow up sessions for families and couples are up to 90 minutes.

The number of sessions varies as everyone's needs and situations are different, as well as insurance requirements. Frequency of appointments are generally weekly to biweekly initially. Appointment frequency decreases as progress is made towards the goal. The idea is to be able to function and manage without treatment and with use of gained knowledge and skills. Progress is dependent upon your commitment to therapy. ​ When it comes to scheduling, it is recommended to schedule your recurring appointments into the future to secure your appointment time. As you make progress, your frequency of appointments will decrease and will free up space for someone else who is need.

It has been proven over the years that building rapport is most effective in seeing results from therapy. Building this rapport in the beginning is crucial. If not, there could be a delay in positive results, if any results at all. In addition, sometimes, the assessment phase can take up to 3 sessions. Spacing the assessment sessions out can cause difficulty in building rapport also delay and/or impact progress and motivation for treatment. An assessment is required and based on that assessment, recommendations for frequency of treatment will be provided for couples, families, and individuals. Those using insurance to pay for services, will not be able to meet monthly until progress has been established. This is because insurance has certain requirements that must be met. Once progress is maintained, monthly sessions would be recommended and a plan would be created to end services.

Please cancel/reschedule as soon as you are aware that it needs to happen. This is helpful for others who are in need of an appointment. At this time, you are allowed to cancel your appointment up to 24 hours before the appointment time without a fee being assessed. (Example: Your appointment is at 2 pm on Saturday. You will have up until 2 pm Friday to cancel/reschedule) ​ If you cancel in under 24 hours prior to your appointment, a late cancellation fee of $75 will be charged.

Couples usually resolve the issues that brought them to therapy within 3-18 sessions and families usually resolve the issue that brought them to therapy within 6 - 14 sessions. The length of treatment depends on different variables, with the main one being your level of motivation for treatment. Most clients begin to see change within 1-3 months and gradually decrease the frequency of sessions until they are able to manage life and the transitions without attending therapy. The level of comittment and preferred frequency play a role in this as well. For those seen 1-2x a month, results may take longer, depending on the need and presenting problem(s). If the presenting problem(s) include mental health diagnoses, treatment can take longer than the typical 3 months as those contributing symptoms did not occur overnight and the root of the issue/problem must be determined and addressed. ​ Couples who are seeking the Prepare/Enrich Relationship Program can learn more here.

Insurance requires many things that impact your privacy and your freedom of choice. ​ Things to think about when it comes to insurance: Insurance requires specific location for services. Sessions cannot run longer than 53 minutes; additional minutes can result in an extra charge, that insurance may or may not cover. Diagnoses are required for the insurance to cover the services. Having a diagnosis can impact insurance policies, coverage, including life insurance. Insurance says how many times you can be seen. By giving your insurance permission to pay for services, you are giving them permission to review your records. Some insurances do not cover full fee and you will still be responsible for a portion of the fees.

Sliding Fee is available through Open Path Psychotherapy Collective.

Adjusted Fee is an option when a person: ​​cannot afford current market rates for therapy lacks adequate health insurance coverage opts out of using insurance and cannot afford current market rates for therapy. Does not qualify for Open Path (see above) ​ If this fits your financial circumstance, please share when requesting and/or during your consultation.

Sessions can run 60 minutes. If more time is needed that can also occur. Couples, Families, Groups, and Individuals can receive therapy services. Diagnoses aren’t needed to receive therapy services. You do not have to be diagnosed but if you are, it will be confidential. The number of times being seen can be according to your need, not insurance. Your information will not be released or accessible by other providers or insurance companies without a signed release.

Entering into treatment for couples/marriage/family therapy primarily and for an issue non related to your mental health is not covered by insurance. Insurance only covers services that have an individual mental health diagnosis code attached to it. Couples therapy is not covered by insurance because there are no mental health diagnosis codes for couples. But conjoint sessions can be covered (see below). Family therapy can be covered by insurance, if requirements are met. - 1 member of the family is identified as the client - The identified client must participate in a psychological diagnostic assessment to determine if there are mental health concerns. -If there are mental health concerns and a diagnosis is appropriate, an individual treatment plan will be initiated and include individual sessions and family sessions/goals for treatment. -The identified client must participate in individual therapy as well. Spouses and other non-related persons can join individual therapy sessions to learn how to better support your mental health and learn skills periodically as it pertains to your mental health. This is considered conjoint therapy. Insurances do not cover couples/marriage therapy because there are no medical diagnoses for couples/marriages. This is why we offer an affordable Prepare/Enrich Relationship Therapy program.

Under the law (Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act and Section 5162.80 of the Ohio Revised Code), health care providers and facilities are required to give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance a "Good Faith Estimate" of expected charges for medical items and services upon request or at the time of scheduling services.​​ ​ You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical care will cost. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
