| What is psychotherapy? |
|
Psychotherapy is talk therapy with a licensed, experienced professional.
Psychotherapy is designed to alleviate unwanted symptoms, change disruptive
or dysfunctional behaviors and help with various mental health and relationship
issues. There are several modalities: individual, couples, family and group.

| How do I find a psychotherapist that is right for me? |
The concept of "the right" psychotherapist is highly individualized. Some
traits that we recommend are:
- proper certification and training
- extensive experience
- highly skilled
- compassionate
- ultimately working with the therapist will be your best guide
In addition, the fee should not be so high that it prevents you from securing
the help you need.

| Does it make sense to pick my therapist from the web? |
|
The web opens the door to a far wider universe of psychotherapists than you
would be able to locate through any other channel. Just as in using any other
specialist, however, you need to make sure the psychotherapist has the proper
credentials. Ultimately, your experience one-on-one with the psychotherapist
will be your best guide.

| |
| How much will I pay for psychotherapy with MPFC? |
|
Your first session with our psychotherapist is considered a consultation session.
The cost of this initial consultation is $95. Additional psychotherapy sessions
will be priced according to the modality of service you will receive, as well as
your personal finances.
|
| |
| Do you accept health insurance? |
Members in our practice are all insurance reimbursable. Our psychotherapists
will provide you with a bill so you may claim reimbursement* from
your health insurance plan.
*contact your health plan to find out if you are covered for mental
health benefits and if it allows you to choose your own therapist referred to as
"out of network provider" rather than using their network of therapists.
