LifeWorks:
Frequently
Asked
Questions
Will therapy help?
The benefits of therapy depend on how well you use the process. It is hard work. And most of that work will be done outside of the office, putting into practice the insights and skills you learned. The therapist can provide support, enhanced problem solving, creative coping strategies, direction & focus. Many people find that counseling is a tremendous asset to their daily lives because of the positive impact it can have on their outlook and relationships. At LifeWorks Mental Health Counseling, we use evidence-based approaches. This substantially maximizes the likelihood that you will experience long term benefits from your participation in this process. There are a number of well documented benefits from participating in therapy. These include:
*Attaining a better understanding of yourself and your loved ones.
*Learning evidence based strategies for managing conflict and solving problems.
*Finding new ways to cope with stress, anxiety, sadness, grief and other emotional stressors.
*Discovering new ways to interact with difficult people in your life.
*Taking risks to change old behaviors and replacing them with ones that work.
*Increased feelings of peace, connection and satisfaction in your important relationships.
*Improving your self-confidence and sense of self worth.
*Resolving the issues or concerns that led you to therapy.
How long does therapy take to work?
Many people find that they leave the first session feeling supported and relieved. Change is a process that occurs over time. The more open you are to doing your work, the faster the problems in your life will be resolved. There is no set time frame. However, if you are interested in meeting for a set number of sessions, we are happy to design a rigorous treatment plan for you.
What does therapy cost?
At LifeWorks we firmly believe that it is a mistake to be dissuaded from seeking support because of issues surrounding finances. We trust in the benefit of evidence based treatments and want to make success within your reach. Costs for our clinical services range from $80-250 per session. We offer a sliding scale fee schedule and are sensitive to your needs.
Can I use my health insurance?
Yes. The clinicians at LifeWorks Mental Health Counseling participate with several insurance companies. In the event that we do not take your particular insurance as an in network provider, you still may be able to use your insurance by applying your out of network benefits for mental health. In this case, your insurance company will cover all or part of the costs of your treatment. As a courtesy to you, LifeWorks will file your out of network claims directly to the insurance company. Before deciding whether or not to work with a LifeWorks specialist who is out of network, it is suggested that you call the phone number on the back of your insurance card and ask two very important questions. “What is my out of network coverage for mental health?” And, “What is my deductible?” A LifeWorks counselor would be happy to assist you in this process upon request.
