“How can I feel so much better by simply talking to someone?”

Therapy doesn’t change your circumstances or replace a loss, or find employment, or change the custody agreement. So why does it work?

The answer is simple; it balances our perspective and restores our ability to see things in a different way. We feel more in control, more grounded, more competent to face the world when we are able to consider other ways that we can overcome our barriers. 

What’s the intake process like?

When you fill out our online form and if we have availability, you’ll hear from our Care Coordinator Andrew. Andrew will talk to with you about what you’re looking for in a therapist, as well as discuss the needs and struggles of you and your family. He will help identify one of our therapists who has the expertise you’re looking for and schedule your first session. Before you come in, you’ll receive a link to our client portal where you can enter all your information and complete the necessary forms before you sit down with your therapist. We’ll also check your insurance benefits and make sure you’re comfortable with the financial arrangement before you come in.

Speaking of finances, does Beehive take insurance? How do finances work in therapy?

Our therapists are contracted with most insurance companies, including Husky, Anthem BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, and Optum/United. Not all of our therapists take all of these plans; please inquire. Depending on your plan, you may be responsible for a copay, co-insurance, or deductible. We also work with people on an out-of-network basis when needed, and offer a self-selecting sliding scale for people who are uninsured or who do not want to use their insurance. We’ll do our best to get the most updated information from your insurance company, but we always ask that people double-check their benefits before coming in. We accept payment through credit cards, debit cards, and HSAs. You will be invoiced for your session each week. We know that finances can sometimes be a stressful factor in choosing to enter therapy, so our hope is that you will feel comfortable discussing this with your therapist and creating a treatment schedule that ensures you get the help you need without breaking the bank.

How long will we be in therapy?

The answer is, it depends! Starting with your phone consultation, before you ever come into the office, we work on creating clear, measurable therapy goals so you know whether you're making progress. You and your therapist will usually meet weekly until your goals are met. Most people don't come to counseling right away, and our hope is to help you feel better and less overwhelmed ASAP. If you feel stuck, you and your therapist will work together to try a different approach. If you feel like you've met your initial goals and want to create new ones, you can do that too! And if there is ever a time we agree that your therapist is not the best person to help you, we’ll help you get connected to someone who is.

What if we can't attend every week?

We have found that working together every week results in more efficient progress, and one of our goals for you is that you and your family get what you need from counseling and move on with your awesome life! That said, we get that life gets in the way of therapy - if you need to cut back on sessions or take a break, you and your therapist will work together to create a schedule that will work best for you. We also use a HIPAA-compliant teletherapy platform and some clients love the ease of attending online counseling online from their homes.

Do you prescribe medication?

We don’t prescribe meds, but we can help you get connected with prescribers in the area. If you and your therapist agree it would be helpful, your therapist will be happy to work together with your medical providers to help create a holistic network of healers all focused on helping you and your family members feel like your most spectacular self.

Do you see couples or families?

Yes, we do! In fact we think that working with the whole family is an incredibly powerful way to help people, and can have a measurable positive effect on families and generations for years to come.
