Individual Therapy in Ecuador, Without the 16-Week Wait.

For group sessions, most clients select their group directly upon signing up so they are matched right away. For private therapy sessions, like individual therapy or couples therapy etc. most clients are matched with a licensed therapist within 24- 72 hours of signing up. This quick turnaround is one of Grouport's key advantages over traditional in person therapy, where wait times average 8-12 weeks nationally. A dedicated care coordinator will get in touch with you upon signup to get you situated with the care that fits your schedule and goals. Once matched, you'll receive access to your sessions either through our member portal or through weekly session links that are emailed to your inbox 24-hrs before each session. You can typically schedule your first session within the same week upon signing up allowing you to start therapy right away rather than waiting months.

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)?"

You don't need to share every detail to benefit from group. You can participate meaningfully without sharing every detail of your life. You can keep it high level by talking about patterns, feelings, or what you're struggling with conceptually. Ultimately, you totally control your level of disclosure. Many people surprise themselves by sharing more than expected once trust builds. By recognizing the commonalities people experience in the group, most people ultimately feel comfortable sharing more than what they would have though they’d feel comfortable sharing. It is precisely being vulnerable with others and confiding in others, which serves as a major driver of improved therapeutic outcomes and why online individual therapy is so successful.

Yes, anger management individual sessions are highly effective and are a tremendous help in navigating the ins and out of anger challenges. Group is ideal for anger work because you receive honest feedback about how your anger affects others, you practice managing frustration in real situations, and you learn from others' struggles and successes, and are held accountable by your peers. In addition to general anger management groups, we also find that dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) individual sessions are highly effective for anger as they help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal skills like lashing out in relationships and rage.

Give it some time. Feeling Initial discomfort is normal. If after a couple of sessions you still feel like you’re questioning whether the group is the right fit or not, talk to a care coordinator and they can help you explore what might be best for you. Maybe a different group would be a better fit, or perhaps it's worth sticking with the group to see if it's just taking some time to ease into it, which can happen before you find your rhythm with the group. You can always switch individual sessions at any time in the event you wish to switch to another group, and a care coordinator will work with you to make sure you’re happy with your group fit.

Yes, individual sessions are driven by member experiences. So definitely bring what’s going on in your life as that can impact the topic of discussion. The therapist facilitates the flow of conversation and what time of group focuses on what, but you and other members bring in what matters to work on and that certainly gets paid attention to and becomes a focus in conversation. By bringing in your own experiences, this makes the group more relevant and enables others to chime in and present skills that could be relevant to that specific situation.

Immigration processes are stressful. Visa applications. Documentation requirements. Uncertainty about legal status. Fear of deportation. Separation from family. Having to prove you deserve to be somewhere. Therapy helps you cope with immigration anxiety. Your therapist maintains confidentiality about your immigration status.

If you're in a country with limited healthcare, expensive medical care, or healthcare you don't trust, that creates legitimate anxiety. Therapy can't fix healthcare systems but helps you cope with the fear about medical access and make plans for health emergencies. If the access pertains to mental health care access, that’s what we help with directly through all our therapy options.

Yes, more sessions does mean more cost. The good thing though is that whenever you add sessions it is always at a discounted price. So, if you are doing more than one thing per week, naturally in each plan you get discounts for doing more than one session per week. There are also additional discounts if you pay quarterly or biannually.
