Question 1

Will therapy help me?

Accepted Answer

Starting psychotherapy is a personal choice. It may be beneficial if you are feeling down, experiencing relationship or work issues, or just need an empathetic and resourceful person to listen. In your first appointment, our mental health therapists will look at your situation holistically, considering past mental health issues, family dynamics, and medical history. Your therapist will work with you to set treatment goals.

Question 2

Is therapy expensive?

Accepted Answer

Rates vary based on the therapist, the type of support you need, and whether or not you have insurance. Your insurance company sets the amount of your co-pay. All of our clinicians accept OHP CareOregon/Healthshare (including Providence, Legacy Health Pacific Source, Kaiser Foundation, and OHSU health) and Trillium OHP.  Haleigh also accepts: Aetna, Regence BCBS, Optum-United and UMR, Providence, and PacificSource. We also offer flat rate options for those who do not have insurance, starting at $155 for a 45 minute session.

All of our clinicians accept OHP CareOregon/Healthshare (including Providence, Legacy Health Pacific Source, Kaiser Foundation, and OHSU health) and Trillium OHP.

Question 7

How much time does therapy take?

Generally therapy happens once a week for 45 to 60 minutes. Your issue may be resolved in a few sessions, or you may participate in psychotherapy for several years. Your therapist will collaborate with you to decide how long therapy should last to achieve your goals.

Question 8

Is therapy private?

Accepted Answer

Confidentiality is very important. What you share in therapy is private. It is illegal for your therapist to disclose any information about you without your explicit written consent except in a few very specific cases (for example, imminent risk of suicide or injury to another person). We will not share your information with partners, spouses, employers or parents (if you are over age 15). We talk about our confidentiality practices with each patient before we begin treatment.
