How long does it take to begin therapy and what do I need to do to get started?

I begin the process with a free 20 minute video meeting so you can ask question and we can decide together if therapy is a good fit. You can schedule this meeting either by emailing me directly, rebekah@lundentherapy.com, or by submitting a form through the website.

If we agree to move forward, you would complete intake forms and we would schedule weekly sessions. Depending on availability the entire process could take at minimum a couple days.

How long does therapy last?

The answer to this question is unique to everyone. Sometimes 3 to 6 months is all that is needed to reach your therapy goals. For more complex healing and challenges, therapy can be a long-term process that you attend over the course of many years. I do encourage my client’s to commit to 6 sessions, as therapy is a process and time is needed for changes to take place.

How often do therapy session occur and how long are they?

Therapy sessions begin with weekly, 50 minute sessions. For couples therapy, it can be helpful to meet for a 75 minute session to ensure enough time for partners to process, so this is an option.

I am happy to switch sessions to every other week, monthly, or as needed after sufficient progress has been made to the original therapy goals and a collaborative agreement is made that this is the most supportive step for the client(s).

Do you accept insurance?

I am considered an out-of-network provider because I am not contracted with any insurance companies. I am happy to provide you with a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement is specific to each individual plan based on your out-on-network benefits. I encourage you to contact your insurance company for specifics about your coverage.

Why are you an out-of-network provider?

I believe all clients have the right to determine the duration and type of therapy they receive, and to choose a therapist that they feel best meets their needs. Insurance companies take these rights away by dictating therapy duration, frequency, type, and provider.

Confidentiality and privacy are paramount for felt safety in therapy. Insurance companies require a diagnosis for treatment and have access your treatment plan, assessments, and personal health information.
