Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started?
Please fill out our appointment request form, which you can find by clicking here. We offer a free 15-minute phone consultation before scheduling your first appointment to determine if we’re a good fit.
Where are you located?
We are a Chicago-based practice offering virtual appointments to Illinois, Florida, and South Carolina residents. Please note that we do not currently accept insurance for South Carolina residents.
What can I expect from my initial visit?
The first 1-3 sessions are focused on treatment planning and information gathering. You will share relevant information including your family history, major life events, goals, and frequency of sessions going forward.
How long will therapy take?
Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and the length of time differs based on the individual. The motivation you bring to the work and the relationship with your therapist are crucial factors when considering how long therapy will take.
How does teletherapy work?
We hold sessions using a HIPAA-compliant online video conferencing platform called Simple Practice. You will receive a unique link to join the session before each appointment. If you’d like to join the session from your smartphone, download Telehealth by Simple Practice in the app store.
Do I have to have experience with yoga to do yoga therapy?
You do not have to have experience with yoga in order to engage in yoga therapy. In fact, our therapeutic yoga offerings are gentle and tend to be more restorative than they are strenuous, so they are a great place to start if you have never tried yoga!
Do I have to do yoga therapy?
The use of yoga as a tool is entirely optional, just like our other integrative methods. If you are unsure, ask your therapist or click here to learn more about yoga therapy and whether yoga is an appropriate treatment modality for you.
How often do I have to meet with my therapist?
We recommend working together on a weekly basis initially to develop rapport and get your counseling into a flow. We will give you ongoing feedback and work together on a plan that makes sense for you. Before terminating treatment altogether, we often recommend gradually reducing the frequency of your sessions.
How much do sessions cost?
55-minute counseling sessions are $140. 55-minute yoga therapy sessions are $140. Full payment is due at the time of service. We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, Health Savings Accounts (HSA), and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). We do require a credit card on file in order to book an appointment. We accept United Healthcare, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, Aetna, and self-pay. If we do not accept your specific insurance plan, you may be eligible for reimbursement from your insurance if your plan provides out-of-network benefits. Upon request, we are happy to provide a “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance provider to obtain any reimbursement for services.
What is your cancellation policy?
We require at least 24-hour’s notice for any cancellations. Failure to provide 24-hour notice will result in a charge for the total cost of your session.
Can you help me if I don't have a mental health diagnosis?
Many people we work with do not have a mental health diagnosis. In fact, our treatment model emphasizes the idea that mental health treatment can, and should, be utilized preventatively. For more about our approach to treatment, click here.
