Have Questions?

Do you take insurance?

At ClearMinds, we do not directly accept insurance. However, we understand the importance of insurance coverage for our clients. While we are not in-network with specific insurance providers, we offer support as an out-of-network provider.

If you have insurance, we recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your out-of-network mental health benefits. In many cases, you may be eligible for reimbursement for services rendered by ClearMinds. We can provide you with a detailed receipt of services known as a superbill, which you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

We are here to assist you throughout this process and answer any questions you may have regarding insurance and reimbursement. Our focus is on providing the highest quality care and support for your mental health needs, and we aim to make the financial aspect as transparent and accessible as possible.

How long will I be in therapy/ coaching?

The length of your therapeutic or coaching journey is a unique and individual process that varies for each client. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to how long therapy will take, as it depends on various factors, including your specific goals, needs, and progress along the way.

Some clients come into therapy or coaching with specific objectives they hope to achieve. These goals may be met within a relatively short period, 1-3 months, often in a handful of sessions. Others may require a longer duration to experience significant improvements and reach their desired outcomes.

It’s essential to recognize that therapy and coaching are flexible and adaptable. Some clients may engage in therapy or coaching during challenging or stressful periods, utilizing it as a resource to navigate those situations. They may then take a break and return when they need additional support.

At ClearMinds, we prioritize supporting you in progressing toward your goals and fostering your overall well-being. We encourage open and ongoing communication throughout the therapeutic journey, including discussing your desired timeframe and expectations. Together, we can explore and reassess the duration of therapy that aligns with your needs, ensuring that you receive the support and guidance you require.

Remember, therapy is a collaborative process, and your active involvement and our therapeutic partnership will contribute to the progress you make and the duration of your therapeutic experience.
