Clear, Compassionate Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
We know you may have uncertainties, and we’re here to provide clear, compassionate answers to help you feel at ease.
How do I know if I need a psychiatrist or a therapist?
Therapists focus on psychotherapy, counseling, and practical behavioral strategies to help you navigate emotional distress, relationship issues, and cognitive patterns. Psychiatric providers, including psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe medications when biological support is beneficial. At MedPsych Integrated, our psychiatric providers can integrate psychotherapy into extended medication management visits, and if you need ongoing counseling, we can recommend a therapist who fits your needs.
How long does a typical counseling appointment last?
Standard individual psychotherapy sessions typically run between 45 and 53 minutes. Initial intake and comprehensive psychiatric assessment appointments may take up to 60 minutes to ensure your clinician can conduct an in-depth review of your personal history, symptoms, and treatment goals.
Will my insurance plan cover my mental health therapy sessions?
Most major insurance plans offer behavioral health benefits covering outpatient therapy and psychiatric evaluations. Because MedPsych Integrated is in-network with plans such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, and the NC State Health Plan, our intake staff will verify your specific co-pay or deductible prior to your first session.
What is it like to participate in a telehealth session?
Telehealth is available to established patients who have agreed on virtual visits with their provider. Sessions take place through the secure, HIPAA-compliant Medici patient app, so you can connect with your provider in real time from any quiet, private space within North Carolina. It offers an experience similar to an in-office visit, though some appointments still need to happen in person.
How long will I need treatment before seeing improvement?
Treatment duration varies depending on your specific goals and clinical complexity. Many patients notice meaningful relief within several sessions as healthy coping mechanisms take root, while others engage in therapy over several months for sustained personal growth and relational healing.
What if I am uncertain whether I need medication alongside therapy?
You are never pressured into medication. During your collaborative intake, your clinician will discuss all treatment avenues openly. If medication could alleviate distressing symptoms and enhance your progress in therapy, our medical team will outline the pros and cons clearly so you make an empowered, informed decision.
