These frequently asked questions are designed to help you find the right therapist based on your preferences and financial situation.
There is a wide variety of therapists to be found in the sprawling neighborhoods of Chicago. So, how do you find someone to guide your mental health journey? The answer depends on your personal preferences and finding a professional you can connect with.
A good way to begin your search is to understand that most therapists have a unique specialization and therapeutic style.
Therapy is for anyone, and different therapists have unique qualifications to help you explore specific mental health topics. Our specialty filter can provide you with a list of therapists who are experts in:
Managing stress and anxiety
Depression
Healing from past trauma
And other mental health challenges
You can also tailor your search by finding a therapist with experience in a unique therapeutic approach, often called a modality. While the two most common schools of thought include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and long-term psychodynamic therapy, Zencare helps you research your options and find therapists specializing in various techniques.
Cost varies from one therapist to another depending on their credentials, location, and the type of service provided. On average, Chicago therapists typically cost $120 to $250 USD per session if paid out of pocket.
Understanding costs and your payment options is essential when beginning the therapy journey. These sessions are investments in better mental health. Plus, there are options that can make paying for therapy work within your budget. So, be sure to explore sliding pay scales or training institutes.
Yes. Many Chicagoland therapists accept health insurance, but it's important to check with specific providers and your plan details to understand your benefits.
Zencare makes it easy to find therapists who are in-network with your plan. That means they're contracted to work with your insurance, allowing you to pay a fixed copay for sessions. Some of Chicago's most popular providers with mental health benefits include Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL), UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna. You can find out your plan details by calling the number on the back of your insurance card.
You may also have out-of-network benefits. If you find the perfect therapist, it's absolutely worth exploring that option — even if they don't accept your insurance.
