How much therapy is needed?
Optimal mental health is not a one time fix and may require multiple therapy sessions. Many patients have been struggling for years with mental issues while others journey dealing with mental health may have recently occurred. There are different therapeutic approaches to help resolve these mental health problems.
On average, short-term therapy takes 12-24 sessions to produce symptom reductions whereas long-term therapy involves ongoing sessions over an extended period, typically months or even years.
This method is often employed to address complex, deeply rooted psychological issues that may require a more in-depth exploration and understanding. With this being known many patients choose to make an early commitment and choose a cost saving therapy program featured below:

Why we don’t bill insurance directly?
At Wilson Mental Health we take our client’s confidentiality seriously, and want to foster an environment where people don’t have to be afraid of what will be done with their information and how that may affect them in the future.
Reason #1: It’s not confidential
If we take insurance we are required to use an Electronic Medical Records system. Information is disclosed to a 3rd party insurance or technology company over time, which adds increased risk with your information being out there. Through a variety of background checks or career choices, a diagnosis may be disclosed through your insurance company. We want you to feel safe to open up in your therapy sessions knowing that what you say in the office will stay between you and your therapist.
Reason #2: You have to be diagnosed
For insurance to cover counseling, you have to receive a diagnosis. Even if there is no appropriate option, there has to be a diagnosis. We believe everyone should have access to counseling, and we want you to be able to get the help you need without having to be labeled with a diagnosis.
Reason #3: Our time is focused on you
By not contracting with insurance companies we don’t have to “jump through the hoops” they have created. We are also no longer forced to follow their unprofessional “advice” since they are no longer paying for the services. Because of this, the time we save at Wilson Mental Health is then spent on tasks and activities that will enable us to provide you with the best possible service for your situation.
Reason #4: They decide your treatment
Insurance companies decide treatment schedules by determining the number of sessions and the frequency. We believe this should be you and your therapist’s choice.
When an insurance company is involved, they can dictate what they are willing to pay for so in effect someone who has never met you before is deciding whether or not they feel you need a specific treatment. Our clients enjoy the freedom to choose what is best for their mental health along with their therapist.
At Wilson Mental Health, you and your counselor base your treatment on what you need; not what someone sitting in an office in another state feels like you should need. We’re able to make any adjustments to your treatment quickly if something in your life changes. We want you to get the best quality of counseling treatment!
