How can therapy help me or my child?
A number of benefits are available from participating in therapy. Therapists can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, grief and stress. Many people also find the therapeutic relationship can be a tremendous asset to managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, life decisions, parenting struggles, and the hassles of daily life. When you feel connected to your therapist you can gain fresh perspective on a difficult problem while working together towards a solution. The outcome, however, depends on how well you use the process and put into practice what you learn.
How do I know if my insurance will cover therapy?
To determine if you have mental health coverage through your insurance carrier, the first thing you should do is call them. Check your coverage carefully and make sure you understand their answers. Some helpful questions you can ask them:
- What are my mental health benefits?
- What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
- How many therapy sessions does my plan cover?
- How much does my insurance pay for an out-of-network provider?
- Is approval required from my primary care physician?
Does what we talk about in therapy remain confidential?
Confidentiality is one of the most important components between a client and psychotherapist. Successful therapy requires a high degree of trust with highly sensitive subject matter that is usually not discussed anywhere but the therapist’s office. Every therapist should provide a written copy of their confidential disclosure agreement, and you can expect that what you discuss in session will not be shared with anyone. This is called “Informed Consent”. Sometimes, however, you may want your therapist to share information or give an update to someone on your healthcare team, but by law your therapist cannot release this information without obtaining your written permission. However, state law and professional ethics require therapists to maintain confidentiality except for the following situations: suspected abuse or neglect of children, adults, and elders to the appropriate authorities, or if the therapist has reason to suspect the client is seriously in danger of harming him/herself or has threatened to harm another person.
