Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need a referral to start therapy?
A: No. You can contact us directly to schedule your first appointment. No referral from a doctor, psychiatrist, or anyone else is required.
Q: What is the difference between therapy and coaching?
A: Therapy is a licensed clinical service that diagnoses and treats mental health conditions — it is covered under HIPAA and regulated by the state. Coaching focuses on goals, performance, and personal growth, and is not clinical treatment. At The Balanced Therapy, we offer licensed therapy. Kelly also offers neuroscience-based coaching through The Balanced Coach LLC.
Q: How long does therapy take?
A: It depends on your goals, history, and the challenges you are working through. Some clients see meaningful progress in 8–12 sessions. Others work with us for longer. We will always be transparent about where you are in the process and what is driving our recommendations.
Q: Do you offer telehealth / online therapy?
A: Yes. We offer HIPAA-compliant telehealth therapy to clients anywhere in Florida. Many of our clients prefer the flexibility of video sessions.
Q: Do you accept insurance?
A: No. The Balanced Therapy is a self-pay practice. We do not bill insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. We provide superbills upon request for potential out-of-network reimbursement, and we accept HSA and FSA cards.
Q: What is a superbill?
A: A superbill is a detailed receipt with all the information your insurance company needs — procedure codes, diagnosis codes, provider credentials, and fees paid. You submit it to your insurer yourself to request possible reimbursement. We provide superbills upon request; reimbursement is not guaranteed.
Q: Can I use my HSA or FSA for therapy?
A: Yes. Therapy and psychological evaluations are generally qualified medical expenses under HSA and FSA plans. We accept HSA and FSA cards as direct payment. Confirm eligibility with your plan administrator.
Q: What is a Good Faith Estimate?
A: Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to a written Good Faith Estimate of your expected costs before services begin. We provide one to every client before scheduling is confirmed.
Q: What should I expect in my first session?
A: Your first session is an intake and assessment meeting. Your therapist will ask about your history, your current challenges, and what you are hoping to get out of therapy. This helps us understand your needs and build a treatment plan that fits. There is no pressure — you set the pace.
Q: Is what I share in therapy confidential?
A: Yes. Everything you share is protected under HIPAA and Florida law. We will never share your information without your written consent, except in the narrow circumstances required by law — such as mandatory reporting of abuse or an imminent safety risk.
