FAQ

Here are some frequently asked questions that can help with getting you started.

What insurances do you accept?

We are currently in network with Cigna and Optum Behavioral Health (United Healthcare, UMR, Avmed, and Oscar).

We do accept out of network with Aetna.

We do not accept BCBS. We can provide you with documentation called an Insurance Reimbursement Statement (Superbill), for out-of-network benefits.

Do you accept insurance for couples therapy?

We only accept self pay for couples as insurance does not cover couples therapy. Insurance covers individual/family therapy with the focus on one person. Truly effective couples therapy views the relationship as one intensity. T he goal is to work together to improve the relationship dynamics for both people. Self pay allows to work with the couple as one unit and not have to assign a mental health diagnosis for receiving treatment.

How much does therapy cost?

The financial responsibility of therapy varies as it depends on the client. If using insurance, your specific plan dictates your financial responsibility. Some people have copays, co-insurance, or deductibles that have to be met first.

For private pay each clinician has their own rate.

"Getting Started Tips"

Choose which therapist you believe would be the best to support you in your problems based on their specialities.
It takes time to build relationship, so give your therapist at least 3 sessions to determine if its a safe and supportive space for you.
We offer both virtual and in-person sessions in a comfortable and confidential environment. Decide which option you would prefer.
During your first few session with Restore Wellness Counseling Center, you can expect to set goals, prepare to open up emotionally, and go at your own pace. We will work together to create a personalized plan that meets your unique needs and helps you achieve your desired outcomes.
Before your first session at Restore Wellness Counseling Center, prepare some uninterrupted time to complete your initial consent form and questionnaires. You will want to be in a mindset where you can answer the questions openly and honestly. Take some time to review your budget and financially prepare. Additionally, consider what success looks like for you and come ready to open up emotionally. Remember, therapy goes at your pace and you are in control of the process.

Rather than particular techniques, the far greater predictors of positive outcomes are therapeutic relationships, or counselor qualities in therapeutic relationships that capitalize on clients’ internal strengths.
