Q. How do I make an appointment?

A. Call the main phone number of the location closest to you. After you call, an Intake Coordinator will work with you to match you to a qualified clinician.

Q. What is the general timeframe to start counseling?

A. An initial appointment is typically scheduled within two weeks.

Q. What will happen at my first appointment?
A. The first appointment is referred to as the “intake session.” At this first appointment, your clinician will ask you many questions about your situation, types of problems you are experiencing, your personal and family history, medical questions, and more to gain a thorough understanding of you and how best to treat your problems in the most effective way. This evolves into what we call “the treatment plan” and is a blueprint for your sessions and a baseline for measuring success for you.

Q. How often do I need to come in for an appointment?

A. The therapist will discuss this with you when you come in for your first appointment. Typically, sessions are weekly and then taper until your issues are resolved. The frequency is established between you and your therapist.

Q. Do I need a referral from my doctor or my insurance to be seen at Centers?

A. Typically, most health insurance plans allow you to simply make an appointment at Centers, and a referral is not needed.

Q. Will my health insurance cover services at Centers?

A. During our intake process, your insurance will be verified, and you will be notified of the services that apply. Centers works on a sliding scale. We also work with most employee assistance programs.

Q. What other ways can I pay for services?

A. You can pay by cash, check, or any credit card. Money orders are accepted, as well as an Employer Assistance Program and CHIP Program, all at reduced or no cost.

A. Call the front desk before 9:00 a.m. the same day of your scheduled appointment.

Q. What if I miss an appointment?
