Connecting with others — especially when it comes to our mental health — can feel daunting and even impossible.
Anxiety and depression can cause loneliness, and it’s tough to break that cycle.
Group therapy gives the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who are also looking to heal together in a safe community setting.

/ What to Expect from Group Therapy
Initial Intake Session: Getting to Know You
During this initial 50-minute first session, we will explore your background and understand what brings you to therapy at this time. We will also outline what you hope to accomplish through treatment to ensure we have a full understanding of your goals.
Group Therapy Sessions: Connect + Heal Together
Following our intake session, we will recommend a therapy group based on your diagnosis, to ensure you’re joining a community of individuals you can connect with.
These therapy sessions normally consist of 8-10 adult members (ages 18 and up) and will take place over the course of 10-15 weeks depending on the group. All sessions are skills-based, following a curriculum to teach tools and techniques imperative to managing anxiety, depression and more.

Mindful Mental Health Counseling is out-of-network with insurance. Private pay is a great option for people who want maximum privacy, confidentiality, and flexibility.
If you do not opt for private pay, you may also be eligible to use out-of-network benefits in order to receive reimbursement for sessions. Often, out-of-network benefits cover anywhere from 70-80% of the full session fee. Check with your insurance company directly to ask about out-of-network benefits.
- Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health services?
- What is my out-of-network deductible?
- How much of my deductible has been met this year?
- How much will I be reimbursed for a 45-minute psychotherapy session (CPT code: 90834)?
- How do I submit claim forms for reimbursement?
If you plan to utilize out-of-network benefits, we will provide you with a monthly invoice to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Yes. If you are unable to pay the full session fee and do not have out-of-network benefits, please contact us to discuss a sliding scale rate. We reserve a limited number of sliding scale spots for new clients.
If the sliding scale rate is still not within your budget, we can refer you to other local providers in the area.
24 hours notice is required for all cancellations. Otherwise, you will be charged for the full fee for the canceled or missed session.
