Question 5

What happens during the first session?

Answer

We know that reaching out for counseling can be intimdating and we will work to make you feel safe and comfortable during the process. After the initial phone consultation, you will be sent a link for the intake forms. Please fill out the forms to help provide more time for the initial session. Upon arrival have a seat and make yourselves comfortable in one of our waiting rooms. Help yourself to some tea, water or coffee at the station. During the first session you will be invited into the room, introduced to your therapist and provided with a tour of the building. During the first part of the session your therapist will explain confidentiality and consent to treatment. You will learn a little bit about your therapists background and their modality of therapy. Here you will be invited to share your story and what brought you to therapy. Please remember, therapy is a team effort, and as a team our purpose is to accomplish the goals you desire to reach. We look forward to meeting you!

Question 6

What questions should I ask my insurance company regarding reimbursement?

Answer

Before your intial phone consultation with Peace of Mind, please call your insurance company and ask the following questions: ~Will my insurance company cover mental health counseling? ~Will I be reimbursed if I visit an out of network provider? ~What is my deductible and has it been met? ~How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover? ~If my insurance company will reimburse me, what is the percentage that I will receive? ~Do I need a referral from my doctor to being therapy? ~Do I need a letter of medical necessity? If so, would my primary care physician or counselor provide the insurance company with the letter? What is the address for the letter? ~Aside from a paper receipt from the therapy office, are there any other forms or documentation that need to be sent along with the receipt? ~What is the claims address?

Question 7

Do therapists provide documentation for court cases?

Answer

To maintain the sanctity and privacy of the families in the practice, we do not offer written collaterals for court cases. If therapists are reporting to court on the sessions, participants will not feel as though they can openly share their deepest thoughts. Fear and mistrust may govern the session, instead of the need to heal. Peace of Mind Counseling works to help people feel safe and secure throughout the therapeutic process. Therefore we will refer families in need of written documentation to outside evaluators in the community.
