General
What therapy do you offer?

At Aletheia Therapy, we primarily utilize relational psychodynamic therapy, which emphasizes the importance of early childhood experiences and the unconscious mind in shaping current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This modality fosters a deeper understanding of your relational patterns, helping you gain insight into how past experiences influence your present. While relational psychodynamic therapy is our core approach, our skilled therapists are also trained in various other modalities, such as CBT and DBT, allowing us to tailor our services to meet your specific needs and goals.

How does the process work?

At Aletheia Therapy, the process begins with an initial consultation where we assess your needs and discuss your therapy goals. Sessions typically involve exploring your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors within the context of your relationships and past experiences. Throughout the process, your therapist will create a safe and supportive environment, guiding you as you gain insights and develop new coping strategies, working towards achieving meaningful change.

Privacy
How is my information kept confidential during therapy?

At Aletheia Therapy, your privacy is our top priority. All client information is protected by HIPAA regulations, ensuring that your personal details and session content remain confidential. We maintain secure records and only share information with your consent or in compliance with legal requirements.

How do you ensure client confidentiality?

At Aletheia Therapy, we take client confidentiality very seriously. We adhere strictly to HIPAA regulations, which mandate the protection of your personal health information. This means that all communications, records, and session details are kept secure and confidential. We use encrypted platforms for telehealth sessions and implement rigorous data protection measures to safeguard your information. Your privacy is paramount, and we only share information with your consent or when legally required to do so.

Can I access my therapy records?

At Aletheia Therapy, we prioritize your privacy by keeping only the bare minimum of information on file, which typically includes your contact details, basic session notes, and billing information. All records are securely stored in encrypted systems with access restricted to authorized personnel only.

Insurance
Do you accept insurance for therapy sessions?

At Aletheia Therapy, we do not accept insurance. This allows us to maintain the highest level of confidentiality and focus on providing personalized care tailored to your unique needs without the constraints of insurance requirements.

Why don’t you take insurance?

By not accepting insurance, we can avoid the limitations and complexities that often come with insurance billing. This enables us to offer more flexible therapy options, allowing you to engage in a process that prioritizes your mental health and personal growth without the pressure of insurance-driven restrictions.

What options do I have for reimbursement if I don't use insurance?

While we don’t bill insurance directly, we can provide you with superbills that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. This means you can still take advantage of your out-of-network benefits while receiving the personalized therapy you deserve without the limitations of in-network providers.
