Frequently Asked Questions

A standard therapy appointment is 53 minutes long.

Therapy appointments are scheduled based on your individual needs, your schedule, and the therapist’s availability. Most clients begin meeting every week or every other week to establish momentum in therapy. You can feel free to discuss a different meeting frequency with your therapist to fit your schedule and budget.

We currently accept the following insurance plans:

Partnership HealthPlan of California (Sonoma County’s Medi-Cal plan)

Kaiser Permanente of Northern California (all plan types, including Medi-Cal, Medicare, commercial, and self-funded). Kaiser clients: Prior authorization from Kaiser is required before your sessions will be covered. See our step-by-step Kaiser authorization guide here.

Sutter Health Plus (Behavioral health benefits are managed through Carelon Behavioral Health.)

Please check each therapist's individual profile to confirm which plans they personally accept.

Don't see your plan? If you have a different insurance plan, you may still be able to get reimbursed for therapy by using your out-of-network benefits. We can provide monthly superbills upon request in the format most insurance companies require for reimbursement. To simplify that process, we recommend Thrizer — a service that handles the insurance submission on your behalf once you upload your superbill. To get started, follow this step-by-step guide to setting up your Thrizer account.

Pros:

Cons:

— Requires the therapist to place an official mental health diagnosis in your medical record

— Your policy may not cover couple’s therapy or family therapy

— Less confidentiality

— Your insurance company will have the right to discover how many sessions you have received, what services you have received, and your mental health diagnosis

— Your policy may limit the number of sessions that can be covered

— Reduces your choices of therapist because not all our therapists can accept insurance plans

Your first appointment is your opportunity to meet your therapist and for your therapist to get to know you. We have found that this is the best way for you and your therapist to collaborate on a treatment plan.

We are a group of well-trained therapists who practice evidence based therapeutic approaches & have met the requirements of the state to practice therapy. As Christians, our therapists are able to integrate faith issues into sessions for those who desire it.

People often find the right therapist by reading about the therapist, their approach to therapy, and the kinds of issues that they treat on their website.
