GENERAL QUESTIONS
Who can be seen at Love Play Grow?
We work with kids, teens and adolescents, adults, and families across the lifespan, ages 3+ for everything from ADHD, learning disabilities, OCD, anxiety disorders, depression, behavioral concerns, parenting issues, divorce, sibling issues, etc.
What should be expected during the initial session?
The first session is for parents/caregivers only and is an information-gathering session.
The initial session is where the therapist you’ll be working with will gather lots of background information about your child and family.
Things like family history, child developmental history, and background. It’s also your chance to ask the therapist any questions.
*Parent sessions MUST be done with BOTH parents if both are alive and involved in the child, teen, or young adult’s life. We understand getting two parents in the room at the same time is very difficult and are flexible in meeting virtually or in our office. Children CANNOT attend these parent sessions.
The Initial Intake Session is just for whoever has custody of the child, teen, or young adult.
What are sessions like after the initial session?
New client onboarding consists of four sessions in order to determine the best treatment plan.
The second and third sessions are for your child and we refer to them as assessment and diagnosis sessions. What the therapist is really doing is looking for strengths and weaknesses in order to develop a treatment plan.
The fourth session is a parent follow-up session where the therapist will discuss with you what they believe is occurring, what they think would be helpful, and how they would recommend moving forward.
Every child, teen and adolescent, adult and family are different, so sometimes children are seen individually, sometimes they’re seen with their parents, or sometimes they’re seen in groups, it all depends on what we see in the new client onboarding sessions.
What ages do you work with?
We work with kids, teens and adolescents, adults, and families across the lifespan, ages 3+.
What will the duration of therapy be?
Your therapist will discuss with you at the fourth session, Parent Follow-Up, what they recommend in terms of frequency and duration of treatment.
How long are sessions?
All sessions are 45-50 minutes long, and at the beginning of our relationship will often occur once weekly.
Once progress has been made, we will consult you to determine collaboratively if a decision to reduce session frequency is beneficial.
Any decisions made involving scheduling will be made with you, with the understanding that your time is precious.
Do we offer evening hours?
Yes, because we work with children, teens and adolescents, and families we primarily work evening hours.
However, there are only so many after-school hours in a week. We do our best to accommodate everyone’s schedules but it can be challenging. We do have therapists who offer weekend hours as well.
INSURANCE QUESTIONS
Do you accept insurance?
Love Play Grow is an out-of-network provider and private pay practice. As a private pay practice, all session payment is due at the time of service, as we do not directly bill insurance for therapy sessions. However, we can happily provide superbills for you to submit to your insurer for potential reimbursement and/or application toward your deductible if needed.
What is a superbill?
A superbill is a helpful receipt for the therapy services you receive at Love Play Grow. It’s a document we provide you that outlines the details of your therapy session(s), and includes important information like the date of the session, the type of service provided, and the cost.
You can submit a superbill to your insurance company for reimbursement for out-of-network services. It’s like a roadmap for them to understand what services you received, making the reimbursement process smoother.
Think of it as a friendlier version of an invoice that helps you communicate with your insurance provider about the support you’ve received.
Your insurance company should provide guidance on how to upload it online, or mail it along with any other necessary documentation.
