Thinking of Signing Up for Therapy?

Taking the first step toward therapy can be multiple truths: daunting, exciting, healing, and anxiety-provoking. At Tête Therapy, we understand that seeking help is courageous but also involves a lot of red tape, and you might have questions about insurance, what to expect from your sessions, or how to find the right therapist. We aim to support you through this journey, making the process as seamless and welcoming as possible.

Below are answers to common questions:

Does Tête Therapy accept my insurance?

Tête Therapy is Self Pay and out-of-network provider, meaning we do not work directly with insurance plans. We require payment in full at the time of each session. Once you become a client, you’ll receive a detailed invoice via email after each session to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. We send superbills (a receipt with information on insurance needs) monthly. You can also access receipts through your SimplePractice account weekly or monthly for easier tracking. We recommend contacting your insurance company to confirm the details of your out-of-network benefits.

When seeking reimbursement, your insurance may ask for:

  • CPT Code: 90834
  • Therapist’s License
  • Therapist’s NPI Number (provided upon request)
  • Session Rates: $150 – $250
  • Session Length: 45 minutes

Here are some key questions to help guide your conversation with your insurance provider:

  • Does my plan cover out-of-network mental health services?
  • What is my deductible, and how much of it has been met?
    • What is a deductible? A deductible is the amount you must pay out of pocket for healthcare services before your insurance coverage begins. Understanding your deductible and how much you’ve met is essential for budgeting your therapy expenses. Don’t hesitate to ask your insurance provider for clarification if needed!
  • Are there any limits on the number of mental health sessions covered?
  • How much will I be reimbursed per session with an out-of-network provider?
  • Do I need prior approval or a referral to receive reimbursement for out-of-network care?

Session rates vary depending on the therapist and the client’s specific needs, generally ranging from $150 to $250. We also offer a sliding scale for those who may need financial assistance. If you have any questions or concerns about payment, please feel free to reach out to discuss your options.

Absolutely! We offer a free 15-minute consultation with one of our therapists to ensure a good fit for your needs. You can schedule this through our Client Care Coordinator by filling out a form on our website or calling us at 929 – 224 – 2284 We’ll get back to you within the next business day.

To begin your journey, send us a message with your contact information and a brief description of what you’re looking for. Our Client Care Coordinator will respond within the next business day to answer any questions and guide you through the following steps.

We take great care in pairing you with the therapist who best matches your needs. After your initial consultation with our Client Care Coordinator, you’ll be matched with a therapist based on their expertise and your unique situation. Before your first session, you’ll have a chance to speak with your therapist to ensure it feels like a good fit.

Of course! If there’s a therapist on our team with whom you’re particularly interested, feel free to mention that in your initial contact message.

Your first session will be an opportunity to share your story and discuss what led you to seek therapy. It’s perfectly normal to feel a bit nervous or vulnerable. Rest assured, our therapists are here to listen, support you, and create a safe space without judgment. We encourage you to voice any specific concerns or goals you have for therapy.

We have a robust network of providers that we work with and are happy to coordinate referrals when appropriate.

We provide a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Art Therapy
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT),
  • Couples Therapy
  • Attachment Informed Therapy
  • Psychodynamic Therapy

Our well-trained and experienced therapists provide personalized support tailored to your needs. In our Miami office, we also offer specialized services for seniors aged 60 and older. Please note that we do not provide medication management services.

  • CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to influence behavior and emotions.
  • DBT helps clients regulate intense emotions and build healthy relationships while focusing on acceptance and behavior change.
  • Psychodynamic therapy emphasizes exploring unconscious feelings and childhood experiences to understand how they shape current behavior and emotions.

Art Therapy is a unique form of healing through creative expression. It allows individuals to express emotions that might be difficult to verbalize, making it especially beneficial for those who are neurodivergent or have experienced trauma. Art therapy isn’t limited to drawing or painting; it can involve various creative mediums, including poetry, movement, or found objects. It’s all about finding personalized ways to heal.

We work with clients facing a variety of concerns, such as:

  • Relationship issues
  • Family Therapy
  • Couples Therapy
  • Career transitions
  • Stress management
  • Work-life balance
  • Body image concerns
  • Gender identity and expression
  • Burnout
  • Perfectionism, procrastination, and people-pleasing
  • Anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, and more

If you need help determining whether we can help, please reach out with your specific questions.

We require 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will result in a full session fee. Most sessions last about 45 minutes, but we can adjust session lengths with prior discussion.

Your privacy is our top priority at Tête Therapy. All conversations and records are confidential and protected by law. We will not share your information without your explicit written consent, except in rare cases where:

  • You or someone else is in immediate danger.
  • There is suspected abuse or neglect of a child, elder, or dependent adult.
  • We are legally required to comply with a court order.

We adhere to HIPAA regulations to keep your health information secure. For virtual sessions, we use encrypted, secure platforms. If you want us to share information with other healthcare providers, we will do so only with your signed permission. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us.  Even confirming that someone attends our practice is confidential!

Destigmatizing Therapy and Creating an Inclusive Space

At Tête Therapy, we believe that seeking help is an empowering step. We understand that societal stigma surrounding mental health can create barriers, making it challenging for individuals to take that courageous first step. Our commitment is to foster a warm and inclusive environment where everyone feels safe and encouraged to share their stories and seek support.

We recognize that therapy itself can carry stigma, and it’s essential for us as therapists to continually strive for anti-oppressive practices. Our therapists celebrate the richness of diverse identities and experiences, acknowledging the intersectional components that shape each client’s journey, as highlighted by Kimberlé Crenshaw in her work on intersectionality. With specialized training in culturally sensitive care, we ensure your voice is heard and deeply respected throughout the therapeutic process.

Together, we can challenge the stigma, dismantle the obstacles, and work toward creating a destigmatized and anti-oppressive space where individuals from all backgrounds can access the mental health resources they rightfully deserve.
