Online Individual Therapy for Bhutan, Beyond the Thimphu Referral Route.

We don't currently accept insurance directly. Grouport provides affordable care without pre-approvals or referrals. If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be able to submit for reimbursement depending on your plan. We can provide receipts upon request that you can submit for out of network reimbursement.

Many Grouport clients successfully get reimbursed through their out-of-network mental health benefits. Upon request, we can provide a detailed superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Reimbursement rates typically range from 50-80% depending on your specific plan. To determine your out of network reimbursement coverage, call or email your insurance company and ask: "What are my out-of-network mental health benefits?" and "What percentage do you reimburse for out-of-network therapy (for the specific service you’re interested in)?"

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, etc..) and debit cards for payment. Your card is securely stored and automatically charged on your monthly billing date. We also accept HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) cards, which many clients use to pay for therapy with pre-tax dollars. You can update your payment method at anytime.

Grouport therapists cannot prescribe medication since they are licensed therapists (LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, PhD, PsyD, LPC), not psychiatrists or medical doctors. However, many clients see both a Grouport therapist and a prescriber for combined treatment, and research shows therapy plus medication is often more effective than either alone for conditions like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Your therapist can coordinate care with your prescriber if you're already taking medication, and can help you find a prescriber if you need one.

Yes. Grouport delivers individual therapy in English over HIPAA-compliant video to clients in over 200 countries worldwide. There is no residency requirement. Sessions run on rolling schedules across US time zones, which lines up naturally with most international time zones for morning or evening sessions. Payment is in USD, which is easier to plan around than local-currency clinical rates that fluctuate with exchange rates. Your therapist is a licensed clinician who is used to working with international clients.

Yes. Grouport therapists are trained across the full spectrum of mental health concerns including anxiety disorders, depression, trauma and PTSD, OCD symptoms, grief and loss, chronic stress and burnout, relationship and family dynamics, and general life transitions. At intake, you share what you're working on, and we match you with a therapist whose training and clinical style fits your needs. Modalities include CBT, DBT skills, ACT, psychodynamic, and integrative approaches.

For most things you need in between sessions, contact a care coordinator and they will be able to assist you with most things or point you in the right direction. The therapist of the group isn't intended for individual contact in between sessions for the most part, but if it's an extenuating circumstance of course your care coordinator can help put you in touch with them if it's an extenuating situation. Most questions you need outside of session, should be able to be addressed by a care coordinator and accelerated to the group therapist in an extenuating circumstance. If you need individual support, then a care coordinator can get you set up with individual therapy with either your group therapist or another qualified therapist who is a good fit for you.

Living far from family creates loneliness and grief. You miss important events. You can't be there when family needs you. You worry about aging parents. The distance is painful even when you chose to live where you are. Therapy validates this grief and helps you navigate relationships across distance.

If you grew up between cultures, moved countries, or feel caught between cultural identities, therapy helps. You might not fully belong to any one culture. Questions like "where are you from?" feel complicated. Therapy helps you integrate multiple cultural influences into your sense of self rather than feeling torn between them.

Usually. Standard individual therapy is 45 minutes. Group therapy is 60 minutes a session, but the cost is shared among group members, so it's typically less per each person. Couples therapy is 45-minutes per session. Family therapy is 60 minutes per session. Typically, when someone wants more time, they would just do multiple sessions per week, and the good news is that any additional session you add is always discounted with Grouport. We can offer extended sessions at a higher cost if that is preferred upon request.

Grouport offers 45 to 50 minute one-on-one video sessions across a wide daily range, so clients in Thimphu and elsewhere in Bhutan (BTT, UTC+6) can find weekday evening or morning appointments that fit around work or study. After a short intake you can match with a licensed clinician right away and lock in a recurring weekly time. At $103 per weekly session or $448 per month, sessions run over HIPAA-compliant video in English, with no travel required to JDWNRH or a regional referral hospital.

Grouport Individual Therapy is a private one-on-one format, so English-educated professionals, university students, and returning diaspora in Bhutan work directly with a single licensed clinician (psychologist, LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, LPC, PsyD, or PhD). Because English is the medium of instruction in Bhutanese schools from primary level onward, clinical conversation in English feels natural. Sessions are 45 to 50 minutes over HIPAA-compliant video at $103 weekly or $52 every-other-week, giving a discreet alternative to public clinics in small towns where staff and patients often know each other.
