Frequently Asked Questions

Seeking out therapy is an individual choice and there are many reasons why people come to therapy. Sometimes it is to deal with long-standing psychological issues, or problems with anxiety or depression. Other times it is in response to unexpected changes in one’s life such as a divorce or work transition. Many seek the advice of counsel as they pursue their own personal exploration and growth. Working with a therapist can help provide insight, support, and new strategies for all types of life challenges. Therapy can help address many types of issues including depression, anxiety, conflict, grief, stress management, body-image issues, and general life transitions. Therapy is right for anyone who is interested in getting the most out of their life by taking responsibility, creating greater self-awareness, and working towards change in their lives.

Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you’ve faced, there’s nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. In fact, therapy is for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be admired. You are taking responsibility by accepting where you’re at in life and making a commitment to change the situation by seeking therapy. Therapy provides long-lasting benefits and support, giving you the tools you need to avoid triggers, re-direct damaging patterns, and overcome whatever challenges you face.

A number of benefits are available from participating in psychotherapy. Therapists can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, grief, stress management, body image issues and creative blocks. Many people also find that counselors can be a tremendous asset to managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, marriage issues, and the hassles of daily life. Therapists can provide a fresh perspective on a difficult problem or point you in the direction of a solution. The benefits you obtain from therapy depend on how well you use the process and put into practice what you learn. Some of the benefits available from therapy include:

  • Attaining a better understanding of yourself, your goals and values
  • Developing skills for improving your relationships
  • Finding resolution to the issues or concerns that led you to seek therapy
  • Learning new ways to cope with stress and anxiety
  • Managing anger, grief, depression, and other emotional pressures
  • Improving communications and listening skills
  • Changing old behavior patterns and developing new ones
  • Discovering new ways to solve problems in your family or marriage
  • Improving your self-esteem and boosting self-confidence

Every therapy session is unique and caters to each individual and their specific goals. It is standard for therapists to discuss the primary issues and concerns in your life during therapy sessions. It is common to schedule a series of weekly sessions, where each session lasts around fifty minutes. Therapy can be short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or longer-term, addressing more complex issues or ongoing personal growth. There may be times when you are asked to take certain actions outside of the therapy sessions, such as reading a relevant book or keeping records to track certain behaviors. It is important process what has been discussed and integrate it into your life between sessions. For therapy to be most effective you must be an active participant, both during and between the sessions. People seeking psychotherapy are willing to take responsibility for their actions, work towards self-change and create greater awareness in their lives. Here are some things you can expect out of therapy:

  • Compassion, respect and understanding
  • Perspectives to illuminate persistent patterns and negative feelings
  • Real strategies for enacting positive change
  • Effective and proven techniques along with practical guidance

In some cases a combination of medication and therapy is the right course of action. Working with your medical doctor you can determine what’s best for you. It is well established that the long-term solution to mental and emotional problems and the pain they cause cannot be solved solely by medication. Instead of just treating the symptom, therapy addresses the cause of our distress and the behavior patterns that curb our progress. You can best achieve sustainable growth and a greater sense of well being with an integrative approach to wellness.

Do you accept insurance? How does insurance work?

Do you accept insurance?
Yes, we accept several insurance plans, including Blue Cross & Blue Shield, Amerigroup, and PeachCare as of September 2024. Our goal is to make therapy as accessible as possible. Once you submit an appointment request through our website, you’ll be prompted to include your insurance information. We will then verify your benefits with your insurance provider. If we are in-network, you will be responsible for your co-pay or deductible at the time of service.

How does insurance work at Intown Counseling & Wellness?
We aim to make the insurance process as smooth as possible. Here’s how it works:

  1. In-Network Benefits:
    If we are in-network with your insurance provider, we have a contract to offer services at a negotiated rate, which usually results in lower out-of-pocket costs for you. We will call your insurance provider to verify your benefits and convey the information they provide. You will then pay your co-pay or deductible at the time of your appointment.
  2. Out-of-Network Benefits:
    If we are out-of-network with your insurance provider, you may still be able to receive some coverage. You will need to pay the full session fee upfront, and we will provide you with a Superbill—a comprehensive receipt that includes all the details needed for your insurance company. You can submit this Superbill to your insurance provider for reimbursement. A large percentage of our clients use their out-of-network benefits and typically report no issues with this process.

What is a Superbill, and how does it work?
A Superbill is a detailed receipt that includes all necessary information for your insurance provider to process an out-of-network claim. After paying for your session, we will issue a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance company. Your insurer will review the claim and may reimburse you directly for a portion of the session fees. Reimbursement amounts and policies can vary by provider.

Can you help me understand my insurance benefits?
Absolutely! We are here to assist you with understanding your insurance benefits. As part of our service, we will call your insurance provider to verify your benefits and explain what is covered based on the information provided to us by the insurance representative. While we strive to convey this information as accurately as possible, please remember that your policy is ultimately a contract between you and your insurance carrier. We understand that navigating the insurance world can be complex, and we’re committed to helping bridge the gap and make the process clearer for you. If you have any questions or need further clarification, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to support you.

Important Reminder:
Please remember that verifying your benefits is not a guarantee of payment or eligibility. All claims are subject to review by the insurance carrier upon submission. We make every effort to accurately verify your coverage, but your policy is ultimately a contract between you and your insurance carrier.

If you have additional questions or need further assistance with your insurance coverage,
please feel free to contact us. We’re here to support you and make your experience as smooth
and supportive as possible.
