FAQs

  • What is Counseling?
    • ​Counseling is a form of 'talk therapy'. It is a process where an individual, couple or family meet with a trained professional counsellor to talk about issues and problems that they are facing in their lives.
  • How does counseling (or therapy) sessions work?
    • It is a collaborative effort between you and the counselor, providing opportunities to get to know one another to talk about the issues brought up. We tailor therapy to your specific needs.
  • Who is eligible?
    • According to the National Institute of Mental Health, people seek out therapy for major life stressors (like a tough job, the loss of a loved one, or relationship issues) or symptoms that can't be explained by some other condition (like low energy, irritability, or changes in sleep or appetite).​ Contact our Counseling Department to determine if counseling is for you.
  • Do I need a referral from a doctor?
    • ​A referral isn't usually required to see a therapist, but a referral from a medical doctor may be necessary if you want your insurance provider to cover the visit. 
  • What documents do I need for my first visit? While waiting, you will likely fill out some paperwork, including:
    • HIPPA forms
    • Insurance information
    • Medical history, including your current medications
    • A questionnaire about your symptoms
    • Record release form
    • Therapist-patient services agreement
