What Does Individual Therapy Look Like?
45–60 Minutes
Typical individual therapy sessions are approximately 45–60 minutes.
Flexible Scheduling
Sessions may be weekly, biweekly, or monthly depending on your needs and treatment goals.
In Person or Through Telehealth
Telehealth may be available for eligible outpatient clients located in Virginia.
Your therapist will use approaches suited to your needs and adjust treatment as you make progress.
Your therapy should fit you—not the other way around.
Your First Session
Your first therapy session isn't a test. It's a conversation.
Talk
Your therapist will ask what's bringing you in, learn about relevant history, and give you space to share what you're comfortable sharing.
Understand
Together, you'll begin identifying what's been difficult, what you want to change, and what support might be most helpful.
Set Goals
You'll begin establishing goals for therapy and a plan for moving forward.
You don't need the perfect words or a five-year plan.
You just need to start the conversation.
Finding the fit
Not Sure If Therapy Is Right for You?
Maybe you've been feeling different lately. Maybe something happened that you haven't been able to move past. Or maybe you simply know that the way things are going isn't working anymore.
That's enough to start a conversation.
During your confidential intake assessment, a licensed clinician will learn about what you're experiencing, your history, and what you're hoping will change. From there, we'll help determine whether individual therapy or another level of care makes the most sense for you.
As needs change
Care That Can Change With You
Sometimes individual therapy is exactly what you need. Sometimes you need more support.
That's why Virginia Family Wellness offers a continuum of care.
Alongside individual therapy, our services include IOP, PHP, medication management, family therapy, couples therapy, and group therapy.
If your needs change, your care can change with you. You don't have to start over to get the support you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. Virginia Family Wellness accepts many Virginia insurance plans, including Aetna, Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield, CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna/Evernorth, Optum, Sentara Health and UnitedHealthcare, plus select Medicaid plans. You can find the full list on our Pricing page.
We work with you to get the coverage information you need, but we can't guarantee services will be covered. Call the number on the back of your insurance card to ask about coverage, deductibles and copays.
If your plan isn't listed, we are also an out-of-network provider. We can give you a superbill to submit to your insurance company, which decides whether to reimburse you.
How much does therapy cost?
Private-pay rates are $145 for the initial assessment and $130 for each individual session. Sessions with a Resident in Counseling or Supervisee in Social Work are $100, and sessions with a Counseling Intern are $35.
If you use insurance, your cost depends on your plan's coverage, deductibles and copays. We accept all major credit cards, HSA and FSA accounts. You also have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges.
Do you offer telehealth?
Yes. Telehealth may be available for eligible outpatient services, including individual therapy, for clients located in Virginia.
What ages do you see?
Virginia Family Wellness provides outpatient services for children, teens, and adults. PHP and IOP are designed for adults 18 and older.
How do I know if I need individual therapy or a higher level of care?
You don't need to diagnose yourself or choose a program before calling.
If symptoms are significantly interfering with your daily life or weekly therapy isn't providing enough support, a higher level of care such as IOP or PHP may be appropriate. A confidential intake assessment helps determine which level of care best fits your needs.
What is a Good Faith Estimate?
Under the federal No Surprises Act, you may have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected healthcare charges for certain services. Contact Virginia Family Wellness for information about your rights and expected costs.
