Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether therapy is right for me?
You do not need a psychiatric diagnosis or crisis to benefit from counseling. People seek help for emotional distress, relationships, stress, grief, trauma, recovery, life changes, identity concerns and personal growth.
Do you accept insurance?
DelMar is currently accepting private-pay clients while working to expand insurance-network participation. The website will list plans only after participation is effective.
Can I pay privately?
Yes. Private-pay appointments are available.
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes, for eligible clients physically located in jurisdictions where the treating clinician is authorized to practice.
Is therapy confidential?
Information discussed during therapy is generally confidential, subject to exceptions required or permitted by law and professional ethics. These exceptions are explained during informed consent.
Do you provide couples counseling?
Yes, where clinically appropriate and within the treating clinician’s scope.
Do you provide LGBTQ+ counseling?
Yes. DelMar provides respectful, affirming, client-centered counseling.
Do you provide faith-based counseling?
Faith and spirituality may be incorporated when requested by the client. Religious beliefs are never imposed.
Do you provide addiction counseling?
Yes, within applicable professional scope and program authorization. Clients requiring a different level of care may be referred appropriately.
Can you prescribe medication?
Professional counselors do not prescribe medication unless they hold a separate credential authorizing prescribing. DelMar may coordinate with appropriately qualified medical providers when indicated.
What happens during the first appointment?
The clinician begins understanding current concerns, relevant history, strengths, coping strategies and treatment goals. Clients also have an opportunity to ask questions.
What if DelMar is not the right provider for me?
Good care includes recognizing when another clinician, specialty or level of care may better meet a client’s needs. Appropriate referrals may be recommended.
