What does your first therapy session look like?

Accepted Answer

Your first session with a Lifebulb therapist or counselor won&rsquo;t simply be a background or demographic information-gathering session - We know making the decision to get help is a big deal and a difficult step. That&rsquo;s why our first session with you will be about providing you the help you&rsquo;re seeking, and about proving to you that the therapy process can work with the right effort and commitment from both sides.

Question 3

How will I communicate with my therapist in case of an emergency?

Accepted Answer

If you are experiencing an emergency, please call 911 immediately. While Lifebulb is not a crisis center and Lifebulb therapists and counselors are not emergency services, we understand that urgent matters can and will pop up from time to time. You will have direct email and phone access to your therapist, and your therapist will make their very best effort to be available to you when you reach out. Depending on your specific treatment plan, your therapist may provide you with resources for you to use or contact when situations occur beyond the scope of your therapy work together.

Question 4

Which licensed counselor is right for me?

Accepted Answer

We understand that not every counselor or therapist is the perfect match for every client. That&rsquo;s why our scheduling team members are trained to help match you with a clinician specializing with your needs and in-network with your insurance. Additionally, we try our best to provide you as much information about our therapists and counselors here on our website so you can find the right person for you.

Question 5

How long do I wait to get an appointment with a counselor?

Accepted Answer

We believe getting access to a therapist or counselor should be quick and easy. So Our process is straightforward. Simply browse our therapists&rsquo; bios to find the right fit for you and schedule a virtual counseling or in-person counseling session online. Or call our office and a team member can help make sure you&rsquo;re matched with the right therapist or counselor for you and your goals. Whether online therapy or offline therapy, your therapist will help you with an individualized treatment plan to help you reach your specific goals.

Question 6

How do you vet your counselors?

Accepted Answer

Our counselors are highly educated and trained and have received their full clinical licensure from practicing counseling. We also thoroughly interview each of our therapists, ensure that they pass a background check, and train them in-house to work with us. Additionally, we ensure that each of our counselors and therapists participates in ongoing education and HIPAA training to continue to provide the best services possible.

Question 7

Can I pick the therapist I would like to work with myself?

Accepted Answer

We work hard to find you the very best fit in therapist for your specific counseling needs and goals. This is why we provide detailed bios of our therapists for our clients to review before reaching out to us. If you have a specific therapist in mind to work with who matches well with your reason for seeking counseling, we would be happy to schedule you to see them. We also understand that our clients don't always match perfectly with their therapist, and in the case of a less-than-great fit, we will help you to find the right match among our team and, if necessary, provide the best referral we can to someone more suited to help you beyond our walls.

Question 8

What is a professional counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC, or LMHC?

A professional counselor is a master or PhD-level mental health professional approved by a state licensure board to diagnose and treat mental health disorders. For example, a professional counselor might help a client overcome depression or anxiety.

Question 9

Do you have a Licensed Psychologist?

Accepted Answer

We do employ licensed clinical psychologists, as psychologists can offer services, such as psychological testing, that many other license-types are unable to offer. In this way we are able to better provide for a wider range of your needs. Many times, your counselor or therapist can work in tandem with a psychologist to provide therapy and psychological testing when necessary to better provide for your specific needs or goals.

That&rsquo;s why at Lifebulb, our therapists are our top priority. This means that your counselor or therapist can provide you, their client, with the best possible service because not only do they enjoy the work they do in session with you, they enjoy where they work and who they work with as well.

What if I can't afford the cost of my session?

Accepted Answer

While many practices accept only self-pay clients, at Lifebulb, we aim to keep your costs low by accepting most major insurance plans.

Question 18

What if I‘m unsatisfied with my therapist or counseling service?

Question 19

What are your membership benefits?

Accepted Answer

At Lifebulb, we operate without any ongoing membership or fees. We believe everyone deserves to receive the best possible therapy experience. And the benefits of therapy and counseling should come free of any ongoing out-of-pocket fees simply for engaging in the therapy process. With us, your only session costs will be those set by your insurance provider and specific plan or our low self-pay rate.

Question 20

What insurances do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept many major commercial insurance plans, including Aetna, Amerihealth, Cigna, Optum Health, United Healthcare, Tricare, and others.
