Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect after I contact BECOME?

Upon contacting us we will ask a few questions to determine the nature of your needs, schedule an appointment, and send you a welcome package, via email.  You will complete the package and bring it with you to your initial appointment.  For the initial appointment, we ask that clients arrive 15 minutes before their appointment time to allow for processing.

When you arrive for your appointment, we will review your forms and discuss what brought you to BECOME as well as what you can expect during the therapeutic process.  During this time will be a good opportunity for you to determine if the therapeutic relationship between you and counselor make for a good fit.  If there is a mutual agreement, additional appointments will be scheduled at that time.

Do you accept insurance?

BECOME does not do any direct billing of insurance companies but we can provide you with an insurance receipt that you can send to your insurance company for potential out of network reimbursement. To use this option, you would need to pay your fees up front each session and any reimbursement you get back is between you and your insurance company.

For clients that intend to utilize mental health insurance benefits, be aware that there is a certain amount of autonomy, privacy and confidentiality that is sacrificed.  Some insurance companies make decisions that greatly impact the therapeutic experience; for instance, limiting the number of sessions and the type of therapy you receive.

Does BECOME offer any packages that make counseling more affordable?

Yes, we understand that the financial affect of mental health treatment

may cause some to put off getting help.  To provide consumers with assistance on many levels, BECOME offers several different packages; depending on the type of service you are seeking.  Please ask a

BECOME staff member for details.
