Who can benefit from therapy?
Many people assume that something has to be really wrong to start therapy. People from some cultures are more familiar with therapy and embrace therapy more than others. Does this mean that there are less people from other cultures that need therapy? The truth is more people can benefit from psychotherapy than one might assume. Certainly, a person who has been suffering from symptoms including depression and anxiety for some time, impacting different areas of life, can benefit from therapy. Similarly, a person who can still function well in different areas of life but would like to improve on relationship with family, spouse, friends, can also benefit from therapy.
Process
Once you decide you would like to work with IBHC, the first appointment will be the intake appointment. During this appointment, which typically runs 45-50 minutes, your therapist will collect all relevant information to get to know you and the issues you would like to address in therapy. This is also when you will review and sign consent forms and review fees. Thereafter, you will meet with your therapist for a regularly scheduled therapy appointment, usually 45 minutes each session. At any point during treatment, you are strongly encouraged to ask questions you may have to your therapist, and bring up any concerns that come up.
Telehealth
IBHC can offer sessions via telehealth, using HIPAA compliant platform, as long as your insurance plan covers telehealth.
