Think of therapy as a space designed just for you to come and talk without judgement. You will complete an initial consultation call, so that we can get to know you and your goals and you can get to know us. After the initial consultation, we will schedule you for an initial assessment, so we can gather further information about you and your story, which will help the therapeutic process. After you complete the assessment, we will schedule for weekly, biweekly, or monthly sessions, depending on your need.

Most clients choose weekly sessions to begin and then reevaluate at a later date. Your sessions will be 50 minutes and will cover topics, concerns and goals tailored to improving your level of functioning and/or sustaining your current state.

Jungle Gem only allows self pay at this time. We believe in removing barriers and limitations to mental health services, which sometimes is a factor when working with insurance companies. Additionally, we believe in treating you and your symptoms in a way that is trauma informed care, removing the stigma of labels.

Many people have out-of-network benefits and can be reimbursed for therapy by as much as 40-70%, depending on your insurance plan. You can request a super bill to provide to your insurance company, when requesting reimbursement.

Here are a couple questions that might be helpful to ask:

-Does my plan offer out-of-network benefits for mental health?

-Do I have a deductible? If yes, how much of it has already been met?

-Are there any limitations on the number of sessions I can be reimbursed for?

-How much will I be reimbursed per visit when I see an out-of-network mental health therapist?

-Do I need prior approval to receive reimbursement ?

The time frame of therapy is different from client to client. Although therapy is not meant to last forever, we pay attention to your progress and revisit your goals and challenges before discussing termination.
