Finding A Counselor

If you are looking for counseling or psychiatric medical services for your son/daughter, there are a number of places you can look. Here are some important things to keep in mind:

If you are insured:

Before you enlist the support of a mental health counselor, it is recommended that you start your search through your insurance provider. If you are a member of a personal or group insurance plan, your insurance company has a list of "contracted providers". 

 As a general rule, most mental health services do not require a referral from your primary care physician or family doctor but you should check on these requirements just to be on the safe side. If you do not get the consent of the insurance company, they will not pay for services. 

If you are uninsured:

You may qualify for state health benefits. There is no cost to apply or inquire. Some agencies will work with you in determining a payment plan or will use a sliding-fee scale, so don't be afraid to ask about it if you find an agency you'd like to work with.

Once you have completed the insurance protocols:

Ask family or friends for any suggestions for counselors that they've used. Often they've used a provider that is also contracted with your insurance company. Your family doctor will also have some suggestions, and it’s a good idea to let him/her know of the mental health concerns you have anyway. They are often the first line of defense in all family health issues. Please know that it's perfectly acceptable to "shop around" for the counselor that will suit your family best.
