Frequently Asked Questions About Finding a Therapist Near You

How do I choose the right therapist for me?

The therapeutic relationship is key to successful therapy. At Key Development Center, we offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to help you find the right match. Consider a therapist's specialization, approach, and your personal comfort level when speaking with them. It's completely normal to try sessions with different therapists until you find the right fit.

I live in Brighton. Do I need to drive to Howell for therapy?

You have options! While our physical office is in Howell (about a 15-minute drive from Brighton), we offer comprehensive telehealth services for clients who prefer not to make the drive. Many clients from Brighton choose telehealth for its convenience, while others prefer the in-person experience and make the short drive to our Howell location.

How quickly can I see a therapist at Key Development Center?

We understand that when you're searching for a "therapist near me," you often need support promptly. We typically offer appointments for new clients within the same week. For urgent situations, we maintain several weekly openings for rapid intake sessions.

How much does therapy cost?

Session costs vary based on your insurance coverage and the type of therapist you see. We accept most major insurance plans and offer sliding scale options based on financial need. During your initial call, our intake coordinator will verify your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs before your first appointment.

What's the difference between a therapist, psychologist, and psychiatrist?

A therapist or counselor (LPC, LMSW) provides talk therapy to help you work through challenges. A psychologist (PhD, PsyD) can provide therapy and psychological testing. A psychiatrist (MD) specializes in medication management. Key Development Center offers therapists and counselors, with referral options for psychological testing and psychiatric services when needed.

Do you offer virtual therapy sessions?

Yes, we offer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions for clients in Michigan. This option provides flexibility for those in Brighton and other communities, those with busy schedules, transportation challenges, or who simply prefer meeting online. Many insurance plans cover telehealth sessions the same as in-person visits.

How often will I need to see my therapist?

Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build momentum in the therapeutic process. As you progress, sessions may become less frequent. Your therapist will discuss the recommended frequency based on your specific needs and goals.
