Mental Health Therapy

If life feels overwhelming, heavy, or harder than it used to be, therapy may help. You don’t need to be in crisis; many people start therapy to manage stress, understand themselves better, or build healthier coping skills. If your thoughts or emotions are negatively affecting your daily life, relationships, or well-being, therapy can offer support and clarity.

If you’re wondering whether therapy could help, that curiosity is often a good place to start. Therapy is also a space where you don’t have to have all the answers, just a willingness to show up and explore what’s going on at your own pace.

Every therapist works a little differently, but most sessions are open conversations about what you’re going through, how you’re feeling, and what you want to work on. Therapy is a team effort; your therapist supports you in gaining insight and learning practical skills to manage challenges, cope with stress, and move forward with confidence.

The frequency of therapy sessions can vary based on individual needs, goals, and circumstances. Some people attend weekly, while others may find biweekly or monthly sessions more beneficial.

Your mental health provider can work with you to create a schedule that fits your situation.

The duration of your therapy depends on many factors, including the complexity of the issues being addressed and your personal goals. Some people find short-term therapy helpful, while others may benefit from longer-term support.

This is dependent on your insurance plan. Some insurance providers require a referral from a primary care physician, while others do not. You can self-refer, and our office staff is available to help you understand your coverage and assist with the referral process if needed.

At Schoolcraft Behavioral Health, we strive to provide easily accessible mental health care. Our telehealth appointments are virtual counseling sessions provided online or by phone. These sessions allow you to meet with a licensed mental health provider from the comfort of your home using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Telehealth visits offer the same types of mental health or substance use services as in-person sessions, including evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment planning. The first appointment must be completed in person before telehealth services can be scheduled.
