✨ Your Treatment Preferences

Let's figure out your availability and the type of care you are looking for. If you are unsure about any of these options, that's okay - we're here to help and can discuss your options.

How many days a week are you interested in care?*
What type or level of care are you interested in?*
What do you mean by level of care?
In-Person
This is traditional care where you physically go to a therapist's office or a clinic for your sessions.
Think of it like: Going to your regular doctor's office.
Best for: People who prefer face-to-face interaction, need hands-on therapies, or are dealing with a crisis that requires immediate, secure support.
Telehealth / Virtual
This is care you receive remotely using technology, usually through video calls (like Zoom), phone calls, or secure messaging.
Think of it like: A video chat with a friend or a work meeting, but with your mental health provider.
Best for: People who need convenience, have mobility issues, or live far from providers. Good for people that are comfortable using technology.
Hybrid In-Person / Virtual
This is a mix of both in-person and virtual care. Some appointments you attend in the office, and others you do remotely.
Think of it like: A flexible school schedule where you have some classes online and some face-to-face.
Best for: People who want the personal connection of in-person care but also need the flexibility and convenience of virtual appointments.
Residential
This is the most intensive level of mental health care, where you live one of our houses for a period of time (days, weeks, or months) to receive round-the-clock structure and support. It is usually for people with severe symptoms or who have not gotten better with less intensive treatment.
Think of it like: A live-in retreat or school where all your time is dedicated to getting better under professional supervision.
Best for: People who are struggling to function safely or manage their illness at home and need a safe, structured, therapeutic environment.
Unsure
This simply means you don't know yet what level of care is right for you. It's perfectly normal!
Your Next Step: You start by talking to our mental health intake specialist who can assess your needs and recommend the appropriate level of care.
What schedule works best for you?*
Do you have a stable internet connection and computer or a smartphone that can do virtual meetings?*

🏥 Paying for Treatment

Our mental healthcare programs are always tailored to meet your individual needs. Because of this, your unique treatment plan and the level of care you require will determine your exact costs. We will go over any out-of-pocket costs with you directly over the phone or in person. You have multiple options to pay for high-quality mental healthcare services.

Using Insurance for Care: The Affordable Care Act made mental health treatment an essential benefit. As a result, your insurance may cover all or part of your treatment. Your responsibilities will include any co-pay and/pr deductible while your insurance provider will cover the rest. We'll help you check this in the next step.

Financing Options: We believe everyone who needs help should be able to attend a mental healthcare program. Based on your situation, you may qualify for financing or other flexible payment options. We will discuss this option with you on the phone.

Self-Pay Options: We accept Checks, ACH, major cards, and some wallet or digital payment options to help you pay for your care.
