FAQs
Do you offer office visits?
At this time, we are fully operating as telehealth providers from the comfort of your home or safe location of your choosing. Please protect your privacy when accessing sessions from public locations by using headphones or earbuds when possible.
Do you take insurance?
Yes. Please navigate to the “Fee Structure” page to see if your insurance is accepted. Wellbeing coaching, outside of treatment for mental health diagnosis, is also available through all of our clinicians, but will not be covered by insurance.
Are you licensed in my state?
We have various therapists available with different credentials and are growing as a practice. All clinicians are eligible to practice in Florida. Some clinicians may be licensed in multiple states. If your state is listed here , you may be able to see one of our providers. Please send us a message if you are interested and let us know where you are. If we cannot help, we will try to make a referral in your area.
What is the first session like?
First sessions are usually brief free consultations. There are some routine intake questions, but this will be an opportunity for you to ask as many questions as you like. It is very important to interview therapists to see if they are a good fit for you. Research shows that the best fit has the best outcomes. Our therapists will be curious as to what you’ve already tried and what you know doesn’t work, so they can best approach your concerns.
During our first session after that, you’ll go through some history. First appointments with a therapist can often feel like you’re spending the whole time getting their questions answered. It’s important to us that you leave that session feeling like we really understood you and saw you, and that you have something tangible to take with you, some direction.
Do you do therapy by text?
No. Although we may be available by phone in urgent situations, Inner Sage clinicians do not provide text therapy because there are too many opportunities for miscommunication, interpretation and other mishaps.
Can I bring my partner to my individual session?
Yes. We encourage family and friends to be part of change journeys. However, it’s best to plan a session like that so you and your therapist both know what your intentions are for inviting guests to your session, what role you want your therapist to play, what outcomes you’re hoping for and why they are meaningful. Our job is to have your work show up in the session so that you’re practicing being the new you with someone who might only understand who you have been in the past.
Do you see children and adolescents?
No. All therapists who work through Inner Sage Psychotherapy work solely with Adult clients. However, some clinicians may have other practices that have expertise in child and adolescent treatment and may take you there, or referrals may be provided. We aim to be a collaborative group of practitioners with various strengths and this practice serves as a hub for clinicians and change-makers of all types as we grow.
