Find a Therapist
Find a Safe Space
You’ll need to find a therapist you can be vulnerable with and a company you can trust. At Lifebulb, we have a large team dedicated to handling your insurance, billing, and scheduling. Our therapists are all vetted and hand-chosen for their skill, expertise, and empathy.
Schedule Your First Session
Booking an appointment is easy with our Request a Session form found below. If you’d rather choose your therapist yourself, browse our Chesapeake therapists. You can expect to see your therapist within 7 days of calling us.
Prepare For Your First Therapy Appointment
Prior to your appointment, our team will send you a link to your client portal where you can easily access all important documents. If you are doing online therapy, this is where you’ll log in to your session.
Meet With Your Chesapeake Therapist
Your first appointment with your Chesapeake therapist will involve discussing your goals and possible treatment options. We encourage you to ask any questions you have. If you don’t like your therapist, we can easily switch you to someone who is a better fit. Most appointments are around an hour long, and all are HIPAA-compliant, including online therapy appointments.
Follow Up as Often as Needed
Your therapist will schedule a recurring session with you. Most people attend therapy once a week for around 3-4 months, although this varies based on your needs and availability. We also have a flexible cancellation policy if you need to cancel.
An important step in finding a good counselor is knowing what you need therapy for. Once you have your goals, we can match you with a therapist who is experienced in treating your needs. We offer online and in-person therapy for individuals, relationships, children, and teens.
During individual therapy, a qualified Chesapeake therapist will meet with you one-on-one to discuss mental health issues ranging from anxiety to trauma, and much more. Your therapist will discuss your goals with you during your first session, but your goals can change as you grow. Our therapists will meet you where you are every week.
When your relationships struggle, your mental health struggles. Interpersonal relational health is crucial to your well-being, and that’s why relationship therapy is so important. This type of therapy includes couples therapy, family therapy, marriage therapy, and premarital therapy. Our Chesapeake marriage and family therapists will help you build conflict resolution skills, trust, and coping skills as a unit.
Therapy for children is different from therapy for an adult. Children see the world differently and require a unique approach. Our Chesapeake child therapists specialize in treating mental health issues in children under 12. This can include mental illness, difficult life transitions, chronic stress, grief, and more.
Young adults face issues ranging from depression to eating disorders or suicidal thoughts. School anxiety is also on the rise, as is anxiety over their future. With all of these stressors, teenagers need a safe place where they can feel heard and supported. Therapy for teens is an empathetic approach to the teenager’s experience and helps them build healthy skills for good coping, emotional regulation, and relationship health.
Yes; counseling has been proven effective at treating mental conditions and improving overall wellbeing. Knowing your goals for therapy can help your Chesapeake therapist better meet your needs. Our therapists offer the following services, but this is not a complete list. Contact our team to see if we have a counselor who meets your needs.
Every person’s experience with therapy is unique. On average, however, you can expect therapy to last 12 sessions, or around 3-4 months if you’re attending once a week. If someone is struggling with more complicated mental health conditions, therapy may take longer. If they are experiencing an acute issue, like a stressful life transition, it can be shorter.
With most insurance plans, you can expect therapy to have a $30-$50 copay, after your deductible is met. However, this is highly dependent on your insurance plan. If you are confused about your insurance policy or how much therapy will cost for you, contact our support team. We can verify benefits and give you a good faith estimate.
Yes. Most insurance will cover therapy to the same or similar extent that they cover physical health benefits. We can help verify your insurance benefits and give you a good-faith estimate of cost before you start therapy.
All you need to start therapy is yourself and a willingness to grow. It can help to come prepared with what you want to address, goals you have, and any questions you’d like to ask your therapist.
