Start Online, Come In Later

Whether you’re at home, in your office, or anywhere across Illinois, your session should happen in a place where you feel comfortable and private. Our clinicians provide secure, flexible therapy designed around your location and your schedule.
Most people use a bedroom, a home office, or a parked car. Headphones help more than a good camera does. If privacy at home is the problem, say so on the first call and we'll work around it.
Our clinicians are licensed in Illinois, which means you need to be physically in the state during your session. Not your billing address, where you are that hour. College students home for the summer count. The same student back at school in another state doesn't.
Illinois requires most health plans to cover telehealth on the same terms as an in-person visit. Same copay, same deductible, same benefit. We check your specific plan before you book and tell you what you’ll pay.
Sessions run [$X to $X], with a sliding scale available. Online and in-person sessions cost the same, so switching between them doesn't change your bill.
If your plan is self-funded through an employer, it may sit outside the state requirement. That's a two-minute call for us to confirm before your first session.

Same as it would in the office. Your therapist asks what brought you in, you say as much as you want to, and by the end you’ll know what they think is going on and what the next few sessions look like.
People do, from a car or an empty conference room. Worth thinking about whether you’ll say what you came to say in a building where you work.
No. Our clinicians are therapists and psychologists, not prescribers. If medication is worth exploring, we’ll help you connect with a psychiatrist or your primary care doctor.
Yes, across all three clinicians, online statewide and in person in McHenry.
One call sorts out which of the three fits, what your plan covers, and whether online is right for what you're working on. If it isn't, you'll hear that too.
