Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve never talked to anyone. I’m used to handling things on my own. Aren’t people who go to therapy weak?
Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and can reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. You already have some strengths that you've used before, that for whatever reason, isn't working right now. Perhaps this problem feels overwhelming and is making it difficult to access your past strengths. In our work together, We will help you identify what those strengths are and how to implement them again in what is happening now.
What’s the difference between talking to you or my best friend or family?
The difference is between someone who can do something and someone who has the training and experience to do that same thing professionally. A mental health professional can help you approach your situation in a new way– teach you new skills, gain different perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself. Furthermore, therapy is completely confidential. You won't have to worry about others "knowing my business." Lastly, suppose your situation provokes a great deal of negative emotion. In that case, if you've been confiding in a friend or family member, there is the risk that once you are feeling better, you could start avoiding that person, so you aren't reminded of this difficult time in your life.
How do I schedule a consultation?
We offer a free 15-minute consultation. Our intake session is designed to build rapport and for your therapist to disclose how they can assist you. Our services and therapist's modalities are up-to-date and outline each therapists' strengths. If you have any specific questions, you can give us a call at 281-799-2796 or email the therapist you are interested in directly.
Does Therapy for Women Beverly Hills counsel boys or adult males?
Yes! Unfortunately, research shows that males are less likely to receive mental health services. With this unfortunate reality in mind, Therapy for Women Beverly Hills strives to create an environment that explicitly addresses barriers males face daily. Our therapeutic method uses an intersectionality approach to address male concerns such as identity, toxic masculinity, gendered and cultural expectations, leading to overwhelming sadness, anger, hopelessness, isolation, anxiety, and more.
What is Telehealth?
Yes! We are licensed in the state of Texas and can service anyone virtually through telehealth.
I live in California, but not in Beverly Hills, Can I schedule an appointment?
We offer a free 15-minute consultation. Our intake session is designed to build rapport and for your therapist to disclose how they can assist you. Our services and therapist's modalities are up-to-date and outline each therapists' strengths. If you have any specific questions, you can give us a call at 281-799-2796 or email the therapist you are interested in directly.
What if I am unsure if I need therapy?
Don’t hesitate to schedule an Intake Session. The misconception is that there has to be something wrong, and that is FALSE.
How confidential are sessions?
Sessions are very confidential. Aside from sharing information with your insurance for payment, you have 100% confidentiality with your therapist. However, if you disclose that you are actively a threat to yourself or someone else, your therapist may contact the mental health crisis line or 911 to assist with further assessment.
Why shouldn’t I just take medication?
Medication alone cannot solve all issues. What medication does is treat the symptoms. Our work together is designed to explore the root of the problem, dig deep into your beliefs and behavior and teach strategies to help you accomplish your personal and/or relational goals. Medication can be effective and is sometimes needed in conjunction with therapy.
How does it work? What do I have to do in sessions?
Because each person has different issues and goals for therapy, therapy will differ depending on the individual. I tailor my therapeutic approach to your specific needs.
How long will it take?
Unfortunately, this is not possible to say on a general FAQs page. Everyone's circumstances are unique to them, and the length of time therapy can take to allow you to accomplish your goals depends on your desire for personal development, your commitment, and the factors that are driving you to seek therapy in the first place.
I want to get the most out of therapy. What can I do to help?
I am so glad you are dedicated to getting the most out of your sessions. Your active participation and dedication are crucial to your success. It's the work you do outside of our sessions to help you see your personal growth and development.
I am trying to schedule an appointment, and it is asking for my card information. Why?
Your card will not be charged until the time of service. If you do not cancel within 48 hours or no-show to your scheduled appointment, this card will be charged for the "late cancellation or no-show" fee. Your card will be used to collect payment at the time of service, including total cost, co-pay, and deductible. This card may also be used to collect unpaid fees. All clients must have a card on file.
Can I use my insurance for sessions?
Yes! The use of insurance must be rendered a medical necessity which means a diagnosis must be present. This is determined during our intake process. Please be mindful that you may have to pay the full fee if necessity or criteria is not met.
Before I schedule, can you tell me my co-pay?
Unfortunately, we do not verify co-pays until a client has scheduled and signed consents for us to do so. We recommend calling your insurance provider directly and asking for your benefit information before scheduling an appointment.
I want to use my EAP benefits. What do I need to do?
Employee Assistance Program gives employees and their families a certain amount of therapy sessions with no expense to the member. When scheduling an appointment, select "EAP session," then you will be sent forms electronically. On our "insurance form," you will need to put a number of sessions given, authorization code (if applicable), and upload any information provided in the client portal. You will need this filled out prior to the session. Give us a call for more details.
Do you accept HSA or Flex spending?
We do! As long as funds are on your card, we can charge the card for sessions.
What do I need to bring to my session?
Of course, bring yourself and any others who will be attending the session. We ask the client to bring their driver's licenses, insurance card, and other essentials they would like to bring, such as a journal, tablet, pen, etc.
I need a letter for work, school, apartment, or court. Can my therapist fill it out?
Yes. Your therapist can provide letters or fill out forms for you. There is a $65 document fee. However, this service is for active clients who have attended a minimum of 6 sessions. We don't provide appointment letters.
I don't have insurance and have limited funds. Do you have a sliding scale fee?
Yes! The first recommendation is for you to request an appointment with our Intern. For further assistance, we recommend that you join Open Path Collective. We honor Open Path's rate when presented with your member id. Limited slots are available.
Is an LPC Associate a student?
An LPC Associate has completed a master’s degree in counseling or a related field. An LPC Intern is required to gain 3,000 supervised hours to become fully licensed. An associate is knowledgeable and competent in providing mental health services.
