Restoring Minds is magnificent, with so many options under one umbrella I and my family have been able to find the counselors and the therapy we need all in one place. I personally have experienced individual and couples counseling along with my son experiencing his own therapy. Being able to find 3 different counselors in one location and one billing has been a tremendous help.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need therapy?
Choosing to begin therapy is always a personal decision. If you feel that it might help to have a caring and knowledgeable person to talk about a problem, are feeling stuck, or just don’t what to do to deal with your current situation, then therapy is probably worth considering. When you set up an initial consultation, our therapist will conduct a comprehensive assessment looking at factors such as your current functioning, past psychological difficulties, family history, and your medical history. In collaboration with you, this assessment will be used to guide treatment planning.
How frequent are sessions and how long will therapy last?
The answer to those questions depends on many factors. Most commonly, people come to therapy once a week for a 50-minute session, although again, that can vary. Therapy lasts for however long is it useful, which can be anywhere from a few sessions to several years. At Recovering Minds Center for behavioral Health we work collaboratively with our clients and you can discuss these treatment planning questions together with your therapist.
Will my health insurance cover therapy?
Yes, frequently insurance will cover a significant portion of the cost of therapy. However, every insurance plan is different and trying to determine exactly what your plan will cover can be tricky. We recommend to call your insurance company to determine exactly what your copay and deductible will be. We will get preauthorization for you if that is required by your plan. We bill most major insurance companies including Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Anthem, United Healthcare, HealthLink, and Cigna.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of individual therapy at the center varies by therapist. Our fee schedule varies by therapist and ranges from $100-$150 for an initial consultation and from $110-160 for 50 minute sessions thereafter. We accept many forms of insurance and also see a number of clients at a sliding-scale fee for those with no insurance and who are in financial need.
How confidential is therapy?
Counselors have a responsibility toread, understand, and follow the ACA Code of Ethics and adhere to applicable laws and regulations. Counselors ensure that records and documentation kept in any medium are secure and that only authorized persons have access to them.
The following situations typically legally obligate therapists to break confidentiality and seek outside assistance:
Detailed planning of future suicide attempts.
Other concrete signs of suicidal intent.
Planned violence towards others.
Planned future child abuse.
Formerly committed child abuse.
Experiencing child abuse.
How do I choose the right therapist for me?
Read our therapist’s profiles to determine which person’s approach and specialties feel right for you.
Most people can tell after an initial session whether they feel comfortable with a therapist’s style. Please feel free to speak up if you do not feel comfortable with the therapist, it will not offend us whatsoever. We want you to feel that you can develop an alliance of trust with your therapist – that is when therapy works best. We want to help you get to the right therapist.
Understanding Mental Health Challenges and Diagnosis
At Restoring Minds, we recognize that each individual's mental health journey is unique. Our approach begins with understanding your concerns and providing a compassionate space where we can work together to clarify the challenges you may be facing. Through evidence-based assessments and conversations, we aim to identify patterns and provide insights that help guide your path toward healing and growth.
A mental health diagnosis, when appropriate, can be a helpful tool to better understand your experiences and develop an effective treatment plan. Diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, or ADHD often provide a framework for identifying what’s happening and how best to address it. However, we understand that you are more than a label, and our focus remains on your overall well-being and goals.
Whether you're seeking clarity about your symptoms or need support for a condition you already understand, our team is here to guide you with expertise and empathy. Together, we’ll work toward solutions that prioritize your strengths and align with your vision for wellness.
