What tools do you teach in couples/marriage counseling?

I teach the following tools in couples/marriage counseling:
  • Mindfulness, so one can work on staying in the present rather than in the past or future.
  • RAIN, which are four steps to allow one to not be so hard on oneself.
  • Communication skills, so one can better express their needs and desires.
  • Boundary-setting, so there can be clearer expectations within the relationship.

What should someone do to prepare for starting depression counseling?

Erin Rectanus
Erin Rectanus

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

Leading up to your first depression counseling session it would be useful to keep a daily log of your symptoms and level of depression to provide your clinician with an accurate baseline of where you are starting from.

What should someone do to prepare for starting cognitive behavioral therapy?

To prepare for their first CBT session, an individual can think about their main challenges and triggers, take deep breaths, and be ready to be open to trying new things.

Therapy & Psychiatry FAQs

How much does therapy cost in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania?

In Bethlehem, your cost depends on whether you use insurance or pay out of pocket. With insurance, most patients pay a copay between $0 and $55 per session. If you’re self-pay, rates vary by state—typically $200 to $240 for your first therapy session and $160 to $195 for follow-ups, or $300 to $375 for an initial psychiatry session and $210 to $300 for follow-ups. Contact our Bethlehem office or visit our pricing page to learn more.

Does insurance cover therapy and psychiatry at Thriveworks Bethlehem?

Yes, Thriveworks Bethlehem accepts insurance to help cover services, including individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and psychiatry. Couples and family therapy aren’t always covered the same way, since some plans only cover sessions considered medically necessary.

We’ll verify your insurance and estimate your out-of-pocket cost for you before your first session, but it’s still worth confirming your specific benefits with your insurer, especially if your plan requires pre-authorization (advance approval from your insurer before certain treatments are covered).

How do I find the right therapist in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania?

Fit matters more than almost anything else in therapy. Research consistently shows the relationship between you and your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of whether treatment actually works, no matter their approach. Start by thinking about what you want help with, then browse provider profiles in Bethlehem and filter by specialty, insurance, and availability to find someone who feels right for you. If your first session doesn’t click, no problem. You can switch providers anytime, no fees, no hassle.

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

All three support mental health in different ways. A therapist provides talk therapy to help you work through challenges; a psychologist also provides therapy, but their doctoral training lets them do psychological testing and formal evaluations; a psychiatrist is a medical provider who can prescribe medication.

Thriveworks Bethlehem offers therapy and psychiatry together, so you can get the right type of care—or a combination—in one place. For more detail, see our straightforward guide to mental health care professionals.

How soon can I get an appointment at Thriveworks Bethlehem, Pennsylvania?

Most patients at Thriveworks Bethlehem see a provider within six days. We offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends. Book online or call our Bethlehem office to find the soonest session with a therapist or psychiatric provider.

Can a psychiatristic provider at Thriveworks Bethlehem prescribe medication?

Yes. Psychiatric providers at Thriveworks Bethlehem can prescribe and manage medication, and many patients pair that with talk therapy from a separate provider. Our team coordinates the two together.

What can I expect at my first therapy session in Bethlehem?

Your first session is mostly about getting to know each other. Your therapist will ask what brought you in, talk through your history and goals, and start shaping a plan for care. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with—the first session is a conversation, not a test. Want more detail? Here’s exactly what to expect, step by step.

Does Thriveworks Bethlehem offer online therapy as well as in-person?

Yes. Thriveworks Bethlehem offers both in-person sessions at our local office and online (telehealth) sessions, so you can choose what’s most convenient and switch between the two as your needs change.
