FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
I'm new to therapy, what is it like?"Every person is different with unique stories, issues, and needs. Therefore, the experience and proces of therapy varies from person to person. Generally, you will meet with one of our therapist for a weekly session, where you can expect to share your story, discuss what is happening currently in your life, determine current goals you want to work on, and take active steps towards developing a health life. At Anchored & Planted some of our focuses include identity development and reclamation, healing from past wounds, trauma(s), or dificulties, stress management, finding hope, relational work, and much more all towards building habits for optimal mental health and success in life. It is important to understand that you will get more results from therapy if you actively participate in the process. The ultimate purpose of therapy is to help you bring what you learn in session back into your life. So, beyond the work you do in therapy sessions, your therapist may suggest some things you can do outside of therapy to support your process.

What is the intake process?An intake is the initial meeting with your therapist to gather all information and documents upfront to add you as a client to the practice. Upon initial communication, we will ask for your email address and send you a link to your therapist's online portal through Simple Practice so that you can conveniently complete the intake paperwork prior to our first appointment. The intake process is our "digital paperwork". It will ask for basic information about you (your address, demographic information, and some personal history). You will also have an opportunity to review and sign off on your therapist's business policies and procedures, as well as the informed consent and confidentiality agreements. We keep your credit card information securely on file so that the payment process is convenient for both you and your therapist. We are pleased to offer you this seamless option to complete the logistical portion of this process. It will also give your therapist an opportunity to review the information you'd like them to know about you before you meet.

Is therapy confidential?Confidentiality is one of the most important components between a client and therapist. 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 will 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 (ex: psychiatrist), but by law your therapist cannot release this information without obtaining your written permission or "Release of Information". However, state law and professional ethics require therapists to maintain confidentiality except for the following situations: - Suspected child abuse or dependant adult or elder abuse, for which I am required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately. - If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person/s, I must notify the police and inform the intended victim. - If a client intends to harm himself or herself, I will make every effort to enlist their cooperation in ensuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, I will take further measures without their permission that are provided to me by law in order to ensure their safety.

How much do sessions cost? Is there a sliding scale?So there are several payment options. A major of clients pay through health insurance in which the insurance dictates the cost per session. You can contact your individual carrier and they will let you know. Another otion is self-pay in which the cost per session is $150. In some cases we offer a sliding scale meaning there are limited reduced rate counseling sessions. Please ask to see if we have the current ability to meet your needs. If we are unable to, we are happy to provide you with referrals. If requested, your therapist will provide a free 15 minute phone consultation prior to your first session. Your counseling experience is important, and we believe the value of finding a therapist who best fits your needs is priceless. We believe that therapy is an investment, but one in which the benefits will repay you twofold if you accomplish the goals and change you desire. We value your time, our time, and the services we have to offer, and charge accordingly. Rates in our practice will vary by service.
-
