Being concerned about your mental health can be overwhelming and isolating. You may know that something isn’t quite right but not know what to do or where to turn. Life can be challenging and when we are presented with too much change at once we can begin to struggle.

If you are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, have experienced a traumatic event, relationship conflict etc. therapy can help. Psychiatric medication management can also be an effective intervention to treat intrusive symptoms.

Behavioral Health Treatment: Do You Need a Referral?

Early intervention can be key, however, many delay getting treatment due to worries about whether or not they can use their insurance benefits for the care they need.

Often, it can be difficult to understand insurance policy requirements, especially how they relate to therapy and medication management. Some policies do require a referral from your primary care doctor, however, that isn’t always the case. It is always best to check with your specific policy to be certain.
