Your first visit

Starting counseling is a brave step.

Here is what to expect, from your first call to your first plan. If you have questions along the way, call us at 724-281-3976.

What to expect

Four steps to get started.

1

Reach out

Call 724-281-3976, email the counselor you would like to see, or send a request online. We will get back to you to find a time that works.

2

Check your benefits

We participate with Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UPMC, United Behavioral Health, Optum and Aetna. Before your first session, it helps to ask your insurer:

  • Do I have mental health benefits?
  • What is my deductible and has it been met?
  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance allow?
  • What is my co-pay?

Choose your counselor

Julie, Brenna and Ben each bring their own approach. Pick the person who feels like the right fit, or tell us you have no preference.

Build a plan together

No two people have the same issues or response to those issues, so each session is customized to you. Together we form a treatment that will work for you.
