Before your first visit
A few common questions
What happens at the first appointment?
You’ll have a chance to share what brings you in, ask questions, and discuss your goals with your therapist. You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin.
How do I check my insurance coverage?
Call our office with your insurance information. Our care coordinator can help with coverage questions. You can also contact your insurer to confirm mental health benefits, deductibles, copays, and any authorization requirements.
Can I request a particular therapist?
Yes. Let us know who you would like to see. We can discuss their availability or help you explore another therapist who may fit your needs.
Does Lighthouse offer counseling for children?
Yes. Our practice works with children as well as teens, adults, couples, and families. Call to discuss your child’s needs and which therapist may be a good fit.
Can I bring my children while I attend my own session?
We have a space where children can play while parents are in session. This space is unsupervised; we do not provide a babysitter or childcare. Children need to be able to use the space safely and independently. If your child needs supervision, please arrange for someone else to care for them during your appointment.
We prefer that children not be present in a parent’s therapy session so you can speak freely and focus on your care. If you need an accommodation, please contact us before your appointment so we can discuss what may be possible.
How does telehealth work?
Telehealth lets you meet with your therapist by video. Call to confirm availability for your location and ask about the session link and setup. Choose a private space where you can speak comfortably, with a reliable internet connection.
Can my faith be included in counseling?
Yes, upon request. Let your therapist know if you would like your faith or spirituality included. We welcome people of all faiths and backgrounds, including those with no religious affiliation.
