Question: What are you looking for in a therapist?

Therapy services can vary based on the training, experience, and preferred demographic or issues that a clinician chooses to focus on.  For RLC therapist/providers, check out the Welcome or The Team page to see specifics about practice philosophy and areas of interest for each provider. 

It is your responsibility to do the pre-work before the work you will complete in therapy. Be a savvy consumer; check out the prospective therapist's profile with your insurance or EAP company, look up their website and Psychology Today profile, or do a Google search.

Keep in mind that your time is valuable! Put forth some effort to select a therapist that will be the best fit for you.   

Question: How do I pay for therapy services?

There are a number of options for payment:

1) Private Pay-If you do not have mental/behavioral health coverage, you can pay out of pocket.  There are set rates for therapy that are billed to insurance, and in cases of a client, with no insurance, those same charges will apply to services received, and or expected to be paid at time of service.

2) Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)-If employed, check with your HR department to determine if EAP benefits are offered.  If so, you can request referral and assessment services on a short-term basis.  These services will be confidential and free of charge to you.

3) Insurance-Contact your insurance provider to see what mental/behavioral health benefits are offered.  You want to ask about expected payment for copays, deductibles, and benefit limitations.  Please note, that if your deductible is not met, you will have to reach that amount out-of-pocket before your insurance will cover their contracted percentage of services.
