Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat types of anxiety disorders do you treat?
We treat various anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, specific phobias, and separation anxiety. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help manage these conditions.
How does therapy for trauma work?
Our trauma-informed therapists use specialized approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma-focused Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). These therapies help you process difficult memories, manage distressing symptoms, and develop healthier ways of coping. The process is tailored to your specific experience and needs.
What should I expect in my first session?
The first session is typically an intake appointment where you'll have the opportunity to meet your therapist, discuss your concerns, and learn about our therapeutic approach. We'll gather information about your background and reasons for seeking therapy. This session usually lasts about 60-90 minutes.
How long does therapy typically last?
The duration of therapy varies depending on individual needs, goals, and the nature of the concerns being addressed. Some people benefit from short-term therapy (a few months), while others may engage in longer-term work (over a year). Our therapists will work with you to establish clear goals and discuss progress regularly.
Do you accept insurance?
Optimum Joy Counseling offers flexible payment options. While we do not directly bill insurance companies, we can provide you with super-bills that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. We recommend verifying your specific insurance benefits before scheduling.
