Questions You Might Have About Therapy
FAQs
How does therapy scheduling work?
We recommend meeting consistently, especially during the first month. You and your therapist will find times that fit your schedule. Therapists do their best to accommodate busy calendars.
How do I know if a therapist is right for me?
Research about effective therapy consistently points to the client's relationship with the therapist as the most important agent of change for clients. Make sure that you feel comfortable with your therapist while also keeping in mind that a therapist should be professional and should set respectful boundaries between themselves and their clients.
How do we schedule the first session?
Call our office or submit the online form to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation with one of our clinical directors. They will gather information and connect you with the therapist best suited to your needs.
Does Clear Mind take insurance?
We do not bill insurance directly, but many clients can submit for out-of-network reimbursement. Our clinicians are licensed psychologists or clinical social workers. Common procedure codes include:
- 90834 (Individual Psychotherapy, 45 min)
- 90791 (Diagnostic Evaluation)
- 90847 (Family Psychotherapy, 50 min)
Do you offer in-person or virtual therapy?
Yes, we offer both in-person sessions in Rye, NY and secure virtual therapy, which is especially convenient for busy parents, college students, or those who prefer to meet from home.
Is therapy private and confidential?
Yes. Your sessions are protected by HIPAA. Information is only shared with your consent or as legally required for safety. Our billing and virtual platforms are secure and HIPAA-compliant.
When should I seek therapy for myself or my child?
Therapy can help when:
- Your family is facing stress (bullying, divorce, illness, moving).
- Problems worsen over time instead of improving.
- Tantrums, anger, or emotional challenges are intense.
- Issues arise after trauma or major life changes.
- You notice major personality changes or social withdrawal.
- Anxiety or stress interferes with school, work, or daily routines.
- Physical symptoms appear without a medical cause, especially when linked to avoidance behaviors.
