Individual Therapy

Most likely, yes! In your free 15-minute consultation, you’ll discuss your current concerns, situation, and goals, and the clinician you meet with will determine whether she or another clinician (whether at Wilde or elsewhere) is a good fit to help you. Our team is equipped to deal with a wide range of concerns, but will refer you to another therapist when appropriate. We want you to receive the best support possible, whether you work with us or another clinician.

In your first full session (not your 15-minute consultation), your therapist will ask you questions about your mental health, family history, life circumstances, and why you wanted to come into therapy. These questions are not intended to overwhelm, but for us to gain context about your current struggles and goals, helping us better understand how to support you.

Each session is 50 minutes long. Some clients find healing in just a few sessions, while others may benefit from a longer, more in-depth therapeutic journey. Together with your therapist, you will explore what feels right for you, creating a timeline that supports your unique path toward healing and growth.

Yes, confidentiality is very important to our team at Wilde Counseling. Any information you share will be kept between you and your therapist. That said, there are a few exceptions to this rule, which your therapist will discuss in your first session.

At this time, we do not accept insurance directly. However, we can provide the documentation you need to submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. We recommend contacting your insurance company to clarify your coverage for mental health services.

Good question! Follow the steps below to get the information you need from your insurance company.

1. Call your insurance company (you can find their number on your insurance card). 

2. Find out if you have out-of-network benefits. Ask the rep if your plan includes out-of-network benefits for mental health care (specifically for outpatient services at a mental health office). 

3. Find out if you owe a deductible before coverage begins. Ask the rep if you have “a deductible for out-of-network mental health services, and if so, what is the remaining amount I would have to pay before my health plan starts to reimburse me for any fees I pay out-of-pocket?"

4. Find out how much you will be reimbursed on your plan. As the rep for the maximum amount your plan will reimburse for mental health service code 90834 with a professional counselor.

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. 

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. 

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

•  If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. 

• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 404-624-6122.
