Online therapy for Oakland County residents

Virtual sessions with a licensed Michigan therapist, available anywhere in Oakland County.

In-network with BCBS Michigan • Priority Health • Aetna • Cigna • Carelon • Ascension SmartHealth

Where we are, and where you are

This practice is based in Wayne County, not Oakland. We are saying that first because a page titled with your county name usually implies an office down the road, and there is not one. What Oakland County residents get is the same licensed Michigan clinicians the rest of the state gets, over secure video.

The practical difference between us and a local Oakland County practice is drive time and waitlist, not license. Our clinicians hold Michigan licenses, which is the only geographic requirement that governs whether we can legally see you.

Communities across the county

Oakland County is large and administratively split — 52 separate school districts serve it, more than any other county we work in. Because sessions are virtual, the county line and the district line both stop mattering: we see clients in Troy, Rochester Hills, Southfield, Farmington Hills, Novi, Waterford, Bloomfield Hills, Madison Heights, Pontiac, Oak Park, Royal Oak, Ferndale, and the smaller communities between them.

If you live in one of the parts of the county where the nearest practice taking new clients is thirty minutes in the wrong direction at the wrong time of day, that is the specific problem virtual care solves.

What we do not claim here

On our Wayne County page we describe coordinating with school staff, because our clinical director spent close to a decade inside a Wayne County district and that experience is real. We are not going to reprint that claim here. We can still coordinate with an Oakland County school when you ask us to and sign a release — we just have not built the same familiarity with these districts, and pretending otherwise would be the kind of copy-paste geography this site is built to avoid.

We also do not publish Oakland County mental-health statistics. Any figure we show has to carry its data year, publication date, retrieval date, source URL, and methodology, and we would rather show nothing than a number with no date on it.

Insurance and cost

We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Priority Health, Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Ascension SmartHealth.

Many in-network clients pay approximately $0–$40 per session, depending on plan benefits, deductible, and eligibility. We verify your benefits before care, so you know your cost before your first session. Private pay is $150 per session.

How to start

Fill out the intake form and tell us your plan, what you are dealing with, and when you are generally free. We verify your benefits and match you with a licensed Michigan therapist within 24 hours.

If the match is not right, you can switch in one click. No awkward conversation, and no starting the intake over.

Common questions

Do you take my insurance?
We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Priority Health, Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Ascension SmartHealth. Many in-network clients pay approximately $0–$40 per session, depending on plan benefits, deductible, and eligibility. We verify your benefits before care, so you know your cost before your first session. Private pay is $150 per session. If your plan is not on that list, we are not able to bill it yet — private pay is $150 per session, and we provide a superbill you can submit to your insurer for out-of-network reimbursement.
Are sessions in person or online?
Both, and neither one is the fallback. The Dearborn office at 3200 Greenfield Road, Suite 300, Dearborn, MI 48120 keeps office hours Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Appointments are flexible — daytime, evenings, and weekends — in person at the Dearborn office or by secure video across Michigan. For video you must be physically located in Michigan, because your therapist is licensed in Michigan.
Do you have an office in Oakland County?
No. Sessions are virtual. We are a Wayne County practice and we are not going to imply an Oakland County location we do not have. If that changes, this page will say so plainly.
Why would I pick a Wayne County practice over one in my own county?
Availability, usually. Virtual scheduling draws from every clinician we have rather than the two or three who happen to work near you, so the first open appointment tends to be sooner. If you specifically want someone who can see you in a room, a local in-person practice is the better fit and we will say so.
