Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need therapy?▼

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling with emotions that interfere with daily life — therapy can help. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from counseling. Many people start therapy to gain clarity, develop coping skills, or simply have a safe space to process what they're going through.

How long does therapy take?▼

It depends on your goals and situation. Some people benefit from short-term therapy (8-12 sessions) focused on a specific issue. Others prefer ongoing support for deeper work. We'll discuss a timeline together and adjust as you progress.

What's the difference between a therapist and a psychiatrist?▼

Therapists (counselors) provide talk therapy — helping you process emotions, change thought patterns, and develop coping strategies. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who prescribe and manage medications. At Vital Health, we offer both and they work together as a team.

Do you accept insurance for counseling?▼

Yes, we accept all 8 Ohio Medicaid managed care plans, Medicare, and most commercial insurance. Call (419) 740-3022 for a free insurance verification before your first appointment.

Can I choose my therapist?▼

Absolutely. We want you to feel comfortable. If you have a preference for a specific therapist, gender, or specialty — let us know when scheduling. And if you'd like to switch therapists at any point, we can arrange that.

Do you offer telehealth counseling?▼

Yes, we offer both in-person and telehealth sessions. Virtual therapy is convenient for follow-ups, busy schedules, or when leaving home feels difficult. The same quality of care, from wherever you're comfortable.

Is what I say in therapy confidential?▼

Yes. Everything you share in therapy is confidential and protected by law. The only exceptions are if there's an immediate risk of harm to yourself or others, or if required by court order. Your therapist will explain confidentiality fully at your first session.
