Absolutely wonderful and the therapist you have been looking for! I found these guys via my neighbor who is a respected therapist but I couldn't go to her because well, she's my neighbor. She told me that Caring Connected is a great group and I would be happy with them.
This isn't one therapist, this is several therapists under one roof. When you call, there's a social worker that manages the practice. They will do an intake. Most importantly, they will spend time with you to ask what it is you are looking for. What qualities are you looking for in a therapist? Have you had bad experiences with other therapists? They want to know. The social worker will pair you with a therapist that they believe will meet your needs.
From the moment I called, I felt a genuine sense of caring. To say that many therapists in Santa Clarita are not the greatest might be an understatement. I once went to one elsewhere and the therapist was late to every appointment. Not a little late either, on average about 45 minutes late. And there was the other one that took zero interests in my issues and said, "I don't know, maybe you should try medication and then come back." Gee, thanks.
So after doing my intake, I was told that they had someone in mind for me that they felt would be perfect. I was reminded that after my first meeting with the therapist, if I didn't feel it was a good fit, they would assign me to someone else and that I should not hesitate to ask if I wanted to. Even the therapist on our first meeting reminded me that if I didn't feel she was a good fit, I shouldn't feel bad asking to change.
Thankfully, the therapist I was placed with was exactly what I was looking for. Exactly. I was with someone that was qualified, experienced and specialized in what I was dealing with. I could not be happier!
Billing is a snap. You do place a card on file with them. You walk in and walk out. They will charge your card and email you a receipt. Need a super bill? Not a problem, they will help you with that as well. Need to submit to insurance? They will provide instructions that can help you make sure your claim is paid and not rejected.
Just a heads up, they do not take insurance. Keep in mind, therapists that take insurance have to agree to a reduced rate that the insurance companies force them to charge. Think about it, if you were a good qualified therapist and one of the better ones, would you go to work and take less money? I've begun to suspect that this is why I had such a problem finding a decent therapist from the list provided to me by my insurance company.
Thankfully, I'm able to submit my receipts to my insurance company. Although they do not cover the same percentage they would if the provider was in network, they do cover a fair amount and this helps. Like many other things in life, you get what you pay for.
Super thankful I found these guys! read more
