FAQs: Outpatient Mental Health, Therapy & Psychiatry
What’s the difference between outpatient mental health treatment and inpatient care?
Outpatient treatment includes therapy and/or psychiatry while you live at home and continue work or school. Inpatient care involves hospital-based stabilization for acute safety or medical needs. We help you choose the right level of care.
Do I need a psychiatric evaluation before starting therapy?
Not always. Many clients start with therapy. If symptoms suggest a mood, anxiety, attention, or trauma-related disorder—or if medication might help—our psychiatric team can provide a comprehensive evaluation and collaborate with your therapist.
Do you accept insurance?
We work with many plans and can provide documentation for out-of-network benefits. Our team will verify coverage and review costs before your first appointment.
Is telehealth available for Union County residents?
Yes. Secure telehealth is available for therapy and many psychiatric follow-ups, with in-person evaluations as needed.
