What can I expect from my consultation?

At Workout Within we have several highly-trained, professional psychologists, each with their own unique specialties and expertise. Once you have completed and submitted our brief questionnaire, you will be matched with one of our psychologists based on the information provided and who we believe would be a good fit. During the free 20-minute consultation, we will review what services you are seeking and assist you in developing a plan for moving forward. The consultation is not a guarantee of services. For example, in some cases, a different type of setting or treatment might best suit your needs and we can provide recommendations to help guide you in your process. If you feel like we are the right fit for you, then our consultation will also address any questions/concerns related to scheduling your initial intake session, therapy services, and rates.

Can you prescribe medication?

Psychologists in most states are not able to prescribe medication. We are happy to work with you to determine if you would benefit from a referral for medication management.

How does insurance factor into my therapy?

While we do not accept insurance, we are more than willing to provide you with documentation (upon request) to be submitted for possible reimbursement. Insurance companies vary in their coverage of mental health services. The easiest way to find out if mental health services are covered by your insurance company is to contact them directly, to increase your understanding of your options. It is often helpful to inquire about additional factors such as (but not limited to): reimbursement rates, session limits, and deductibles. Don’t be afraid to ask enough questions so you feel confident in knowing how your insurance responds to mental health care.

Do the topics in each therapy session remain private?

The psychologists at Workout Within highly value confidentiality as it helps facilitate a deep trust within the therapeutic process. During your initial intake, you and your therapist will review therapeutic guidelines at which time confidentiality will be discussed. In general, the privacy of all communications between a client and a psychologist is protected by law, and information can only be released with your written permission. There are rare exceptions to this, which include: suspicion or disclosure of abuse of a vulnerable individual (i.e., child, older adult, individual with disability), reason to believe you may hurt yourself or others, and/or if there is a court order. These situations are a matter of ethical procedures, and sometimes, even the law.
