Getting started with therapy: a practical checklist.
An October 2026 checklist for contacting a therapy practice: ask about age-group fit, appointment format, availability, insurance, cost, and next steps.
October 2026 · Grow Together Therapy
Finding a therapist can start with practical questions. You can ask a practice about the clinician, scheduling, and cost before deciding whether to arrange a first appointment. This issue focuses on navigating those next steps.
Questions to bring to the practice
Who is the appointment for, and does the clinician work with that age group?
Does the clinician offer the appointment format you need: online in Michigan or in person in Dearborn?
What appointment times are currently available?
Is the specific clinician in network for your exact insurance plan? What is the estimated cost, and could a deductible or coinsurance apply?
Which forms are needed, and where should you complete them securely?
If you are seeking care for a child, what parent or guardian information does the practice need before scheduling?
