Family Therapy FAQs
HIDDEN - DO NOT DELETE
How is family therapy different from individual therapy?
Individual therapy will always involve just you. Family therapy involves the “family unit,” which is anyone in the immediate family and close loved ones that may not be blood-related. Additionally, family therapy aims to strengthen the family unit and explore the relationships between family members.
How do I know if my family needs therapy?
Any family can benefit from therapy and learn ways to strengthen their emotional connections. However, if there are significant behavioral problems, ongoing conflicts, or significant life changes such as divorce, you may consider family therapy. Early intervention can help prevent ongoing issues from escalating.
Need help choosing a therapist? Read our How to Find a Therapist guide, search our list of experienced therapists or call (248)-514-4955 and our helpful staff can assist you with selecting the right therapist for your unique needs and schedule.
Do you offer online sessions?
Start My Wellness offers online sessions for Michigan residents to ensure your family always has access to the support they need, in addition to in-person options at our clinics in Ferndale and Traverse City. To find a therapist that offers virtual appointments, select “Online” as the location on our therapist search page.
How much does therapy cost?
Family therapy costs can vary based on the type of therapy and your insurance provider. We are in network with Aetna, Blue-Cross Blue Shield, and Priority health, and we’ll always let you know the cost of therapy before sessions begin. If you have any more questions, check out our Cost of Therapy page and contact us if you have any more questions.
Does insurance cover family therapy?
Many insurance providers cover online therapy, including family therapy, but coverage varies by plan. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to confirm they cover behavioral health services. We are in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Priority Health for Michigan residents.
At Start My Wellness, we will inform you about your eligibility and the services cost before treatment begins. For more questions visit our Insurances We Accept page.
How often does my family need to come in?
Therapy is kind of like fitness – the more you put into it the more you benefit. Our clients tell us that at least one session per week is most helpful to them. Of course, coming more or less often is also an option. Questions? Contact Us
