How long does therapy take?

Ideally, therapy is terminated when the problem that you pursued therapy for becomes more manageable or is resolved. However, some insurance companies and managed care plans may limit the number of sessions for which they pay. You should check with your health plan to find out more about potential limitations in your coverage. During the first few therapy sessions, you and Dr Wilson should discuss the estimated length of time needed to achieve your goals, in light of your particular needs.

Does Dr. Wilson provide confirmation of appointment calls?

Dr Wilson does not provide confirmation calls. Dr Wilson can provide confirmation text messages as a courtesy to clients reminding them of their upcoming appointment . Text messages may be directed to the phone number of your choosing. We ask that you continue to make every effort to keep up with scheduled appointments because there is a charge for not providing a 24 hour notice for cancellations. 

What if I miss an appointment?

Dr. Wilson is pleased to accommodate your schedule changes provided he are given a minimum of 24 hour notice for cancellations. Missed appointments and cancellations occurring less than 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment will be charged at the full session rate and may not be billed to the insurance company.

How does the 24 hour notice to cancel an appointment work?

Dr. Wilson determines 24 hours by the time of your appointment. For example, if your appointment is at 8 AM on Wednesday, then your appointment needs to be cancelled by 8 AM on Tuesday. Monday appointments need to be cancelled by noon on Friday. To cancel an appointment scheduled on the day after a holiday, it needs to be cancelled on the day prior to the holiday.

Why does Dr. Wilson charge for late cancellations or missed appointments?

Dr. Wilson allocates the appointment time that you choose solely for you.

Is everything I say in a therapy session confidential?

In Georgia, as with most states, the licensure laws protect client confidentiality. As a client of Dr Wilson , you are guaranteed the protection of confidentiality within the boundaries of the client/counselor relationship. Any disclosure which may be required will only occur after the client or parent/guardian of the client signs a release of information which will include: the party the disclosure will be made to, the specific purpose for the release of information and the length of time for which the release will be valid.

The only limitations to confidentiality occur when a counselor feels that there is clear and imminent danger to you or to others, or when legal requirements demand that confidential information be disclosed such as a court case. Whenever possible, you will be informed before the confidential information is released.

Is it possible for Dr. Wilson to talk with other professionals about my situation?
