If you're considering seeking therapy or counseling with us, you'll be pleased to know that we accept various health insurance plans to help alleviate the financial burden associated with mental health treatment. Here's a step-by-step guide to using your health insurance for mental health services at Selah Counseling Center: 1. Check Your Insurance Coverage: Before scheduling an appointment, it's essential to verify if your therapist at Selah Counseling Center is within your insurance network. When working with an associate therapist, the supervising licensed clinician would be the therapist in network with the insurance. Contact your insurance provider or check their website to review your mental health benefits, including coverage for therapy sessions, copays, deductibles, and any limitations or restrictions. 2. Schedule an Appointment: Once you've confirmed that your therapist at Selah Counseling Center is covered by your insurance, you can schedule your first appointment. You can do this by calling our office or using our online appointment scheduling system. 3. Provide Insurance Information & Complete Intake Forms: During the appointment scheduling process, you'll be asked to provide information and your insurance.

Attend Your Appointment: During your initial session, you'll meet with your therapist to discuss your concerns, goals, and treatment plan. Rest assured that our team is committed to providing compassionate and confidential care in a comfortable and welcoming environment. 5. Billing and Claims Processing: After each session, Selah Counseling Center will submit a claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Depending on your insurance plan, you may be responsible for paying a copayment, coinsurance, or meeting your deductible before your insurance covers the remaining costs. Our billing department will assist you in navigating the insurance process and addressing any billing inquiries or concerns you may have. 6.

Pet Therapy We believe in the profound healing power that animals can bring to individuals struggling with emotional, psychological, and social challenges. Our Pet Therapy Program is designed to complement traditional therapeutic approaches and provide an additional avenue for our clients to find comfort, support, and connection. Our therapy animals undergo extensive training and certification to ensure they are well-suited for their role in our program. They are selected for their gentle demeanor, calm temperament, and ability to connect with individuals in need. What is Pet Therapy Pet therapy, also known as animal-assisted therapy, involves interactions between trained animals and individuals under the supervision of a licensed therapist or counselor. These therapy sessions aim to improve emotional well-being, reduce stress and anxiety, enhance social skills, and promote a sense of comfort and companionship. During a pet therapy session, clients have the opportunity to interact with our therapy animal in a safe and controlled environment. Sessions may include activities such as petting, grooming, playing, or simply spending quiet time together. Our therapists are present to facilitate the sessions and help clients process their experiences. Benefits of Pet Therapy Emotional Support: Interacting with animals can provide a sense of comfort and emotional support, helping individuals feel less alone in their struggles. Stress Reduction: Spending time with therapy animals has been shown to lower cortisol levels and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. Improved Mood: The presence of animals can boost mood and increase feelings of happiness and well-being. Enhanced Social Skills: Pet therapy sessions can help individuals improve their social skills, including communication, empathy, and trust-building. Sense of Connection: Building a bond with therapy animals fosters a sense of connection and belonging, which is especially beneficial for individuals feeling isolated or disconnected.

Selah Youth is therapy for children and adolescents. Selah Youth Therapy for Children & Adolescents Individual | Family Therapy & Parenting Selah Youth is dedicated to provide mental health treatment to children and adolescents, between ages 5 and 17, who struggle with their mental health. Mental disorders can begin in childhood where behavioral and emotional challenges can interfere with their development and cause long term problems if not treated. At SCC, youth and their parents are interviewed to understand the history (e.g. development, family, medical, education) and nature of the problem during the intake evaluation. The evaluation helps to clarify problems on the underlying behaviors and identify strengths and weaknesses. A treatment plan and recommendation is made on the best approach that would help your child promote their wellbeing and foster growth. Therapy for children includes parent involvement and learning strategies that are effective in treating the condition or problem. During sessions, the therapist may include play, games, arts & crafts, stories, workbooks, and at times give parents and their children tools to practice at home during the week. Some issues that are addressed in therapy include: ADHD Adoption Anger Outbursts Anxiety Body Image Issues Bullying Depression Eating Disorders Family Structure Changes: Divorce, Remarriage Oppositional Defiance Sleep Issues Selective Mutism Self-Harm Temper Tantrums Trauma Getting Started
