Mental health care is an essential aspect of overall well-being, but it can often come with significant costs. Fortunately, the U.S. tax code provides some relief for those who invest in their mental health through therapy and counseling.
Challenges and benefits to consider if trying to use medical insurance to pay for therapy: going in-network, out of network, HSA or self-pay.
The Psychotherapy Networker Symposium, a pinnacle event in the mental health field, once again brought together professionals from around the globe including presenters such as Vivify’s owner, Rachel Hiraldo, LPCC, and Dr. Catherine Pittman, PhD, whose dynamic presentation captivated nearly 500 therapists both in person and online.
Vivify Counseling and Wellness is committed to providing safe, quality services as our community works to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. We are continuing to provide services in the office, however are encouraging clients to transition to online, teletherapy sessions (more information below on that service). This office is able to maintain the standards of social distancing because of low volume of people with no more than 3 people in the facility at a time. Therapist and client are able to keep six feet of distance between them. We are taking precautions to make sure that we disinfect any touched surfaces between client visits. We ask that any clients who have any symptoms of respiratory illness conduct their session via teletherapy services.
Research shows that teletherapy (aka telehealth, telemental health, telemedicine, online or video counseling, virtual therapy etc) is an effective method of treatment. We use a secure, HIPPA compliant, videoconferencing platform that can easily be accessed via smartphone, tablet, or computer. Current clients are encouraged to begin using this method of service to minimize the spread of the Coronavirus. We are accepting new clients in-person, if needed, and online. All paperwork is completed online prior to the first session
Please schedule a free 15 minute consultation to determine if you are a good fit for teletherapy, and answer any questions you may have.
