Do you sense there’s
MORE to life?

Yes! Certain circumstances (such as a global pandemic, for example) may call for online counseling support, including therapy via a HIPAA-compliant video service. Though we’d love to see your wonderful face in person, we know this isn’t always an option.  

After this past year of only virtual services, our therapists and coaches are more than well equipped to work with you virtually if physical distance and scheduling are obstacles. Due to state to state restrictions, virtual therapy clients must reside in Georgia or Indiana, as these are states where our therapists have active licenses. 

With coaching services, you are not required to reside in those states and can live anywhere in the world to regularly connect with your coach virtually.

We are considered “out of network” for all major insurance companies. However, this does not mean that your insurance plan will not cover therapy. All or part of your services may qualify for reimbursement through your healthcare plan. We will provide you with a “superbill” to submit for possible reimbursement. Submitting superbills is your responsibility.  

Here are some great questions to ask your insurance company: 

• Do I have outpatient mental health insurance benefits?
• What is my deductible, and has it been met?
• May I only work with a provider approved by my plan, or can I find my own and submit receipts for reimbursement?
• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
• Is approval required from my primary care physician?

Rates vary by therapist and length of session, so please contact us directly for a quote!

Many people think you have to have a specific or diagnosed “issue” in order to benefit from therapy, but this couldn’t be further from the truth! As a wellness therapy center, most of our clients love therapy as a way to enhance their lives.  

That being said, our clients do benefit from therapy and coaching for anxiety, depression, spiritual counseling & faith explorations, disordered eating and body image issues, eating disorders, infertility, adolescent issues, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief & loss, relationship issues, autoimmune disease, substance abuse & addiction, LGBTQIA+ issues, pregnancy support, postpartum support, and general life transitions.

It’s normal to be a little nervous, but we promise the build-up is often worse than the actual session. Most of our clients feel so relieved after their initial session. We are understanding (we’ve all been where you are!) and will do our best to make you feel comfortable and at ease, as you start to tell your story. 

Your therapist or coach will meet with you (or with you and your child if you seek services for a minor) to gather information about any current concerns, obtain background information and family history, discuss goals and provide you an opportunity to ask me questions. The initial intake session lasts 60 minutes and allows us to get to know one another.

A standard therapy and coaching session is 45 minutes. Your first session is 60 minutes long (we’ve got a lot of ground to cover!), and then from there, you can choose what works best for you: 45-minute, 60-minute, or 75-minute sessions. 

Generally, we recommend meeting once a week at first, as time and finances permit. This helps build our relationship and gain momentum in the process. Then we can move to bi-weekly sessions and from there consider what feels best for you.

We reserve your time just for you, so if you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment and have not given 24-hour (1 business day) notice, you will be expected to pay the full cost of the session. Notifications are happily accepted via email and phone. We totally get it—life happens. Just try to let us know ahead of time if possible!

The Wonderhaven therapists are licensed and are certified in both Georgia and Indiana. Wonderhaven therapists undergo a rigorous educational and subsequent licensing program, continuously re-educate, and keep the highest standards of professional care. The Wonderhaven therapists often take on the role of a life coach.

Our team also includes a certified holistic health coach, Marissa Watts.  Marissa works with clients and offers support through coaching sessions aimed to heal your relationship with food and with your body.

In general, coaching may be more short-term, directive, and solution-focused. It is similar to therapy in that we want to support your growth and learning, and we advocate for YOU. Coaching does not have to be in-person, and you can work with The Wonderhaven coaches from any location.  Sometimes individuals work with a therapist and then seek a Wonderhaven coach for support around a specific issue within that coach’s area of expertise. We are happy to talk with you to see which might be a better fit service for you!
