Online therapy for Ferndale residents

Virtual sessions with a licensed Michigan therapist, serving south Oakland County.

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

Two districts, thirteen schools, one small city

Ferndale is compact — around thirteen schools total — but they are divided between Ferndale Public Schools and the School District of the City of Hazel Park, whose boundary runs through the area. For a city you can drive across in ten minutes, having two separate public districts is genuinely unusual.

We are not going to claim we know how either district handles referrals. That familiarity, where we have it, is in Dearborn and we say so on the pages where it applies. Here, we will ask you which school and we will follow their process once you sign a release.

Sessions are virtual

You meet your therapist by secure video from anywhere in Michigan — your apartment, a private room at work, anywhere with a door that closes and a stable connection. Ferndale households skew toward small living spaces shared with roommates, and it is worth saying that a session taken from a parked car is a completely normal choice, not a failure of setup.

Ferndale is in Oakland County. Our Oakland County page is candid about the fact that we are a Wayne County practice serving the county virtually.

Teen therapy in Ferndale

Ferndale is small — roughly 3,000 students in total, the fewest of any city on this site — with three high schools across two public districts. Ferndale High School and University High School belong to Ferndale Public Schools, and the Hazel Park district boundary runs through the area as well.

A small system is easier to navigate but thinner on in-house support, which is often why families look outside the school in the first place. We will ask which building your teenager attends and coordinate with a signed release. Our first-hand district experience is in Dearborn, not Oakland County.

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.
Do you have an office in Ferndale?
Not in Ferndale. Most sessions are virtual statewide. In-person is available by appointment at our Dearborn office (3200 Greenfield Road, Suite 300).
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.
