01
Starting Therapy
Whether you are wondering what a free consultation involves, how long therapy takes, or whether online sessions really work, these guides walk through it honestly. If therapy did not help you before, there is a guide for that too.
02
Anxiety and Postpartum
Anxiety is Guiding Hope's primary specialty, and pregnancy and postpartum care is a core focus. The guides on high-functioning anxiety, feeling anxious when everything is fine, and telling postpartum depression apart from exhaustion are some of our most practical.
03
Fit and Timing
Finding a therapist who understands your identity and finding appointments that fit around work are two of the biggest practical barriers to therapy. Both have their own guide below.
The first step is a free consultation. It is a short conversation where you can say what is going on, ask how online sessions work, and hear which clinician may be the best fit. There is no obligation, and you do not need to have the right words ready.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of concerns can I ask about before starting therapy?
You can ask about anxiety, postpartum concerns, therapist fit, appointment times, or what starting therapy involves. A free consultation is a chance to talk through what is on your mind.
Do you take insurance?
Guiding Hope is in network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and UnitedHealthcare. Coverage varies by plan, and superbills are available for out-of-network reimbursement.
What happens in the free consultation?
You share a little about what is bringing you in, ask any practical questions, and talk through which clinician may fit. It is a conversation, not a commitment.
What if I am in crisis right now?
Please call 911 if you are in immediate danger, or call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Guiding Hope offers scheduled outpatient therapy and is not an emergency service.
