Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect from my first counseling session?
During your first counseling session, you can expect to discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any relevant background information. The therapist will also explain the counseling process and answer any questions you may have.
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specific type of therapy used for processing trauma and can help patients process upsetting memories, thoughts, and feelings related to the trauma. Allies’ behavioral health therapist Matthew Reinhart, LPC, is one of few EMDR-certified therapists in the Pittsburgh area who does not require private insurance to be seen.
Is everything I say in counseling confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial aspect of counseling. Generally, the information you disclose during counseling sessions is kept confidential, with some exceptions such as situations involving harm to yourself or others.
Do you provide financial assistance for mental health counseling?
Yes! Most Allies services come at little to no cost. Additionally, we provide financial assistance in order to keep HIV-positive people housed, fed, and living with working utilities.
