FAQ

What kind of therapy options do you provide?

Our team of therapists at Nava Therapy possess a range of qualifications to provide multiple forms of therapy tailored to your needs. We offer traditional counseling, marriage and family services, EMDR, and other forms of therapy.

Do you accept insurance for therapy visits?

Yes! We accept most major insurances, including BCBS, Aetna, PriorityHealth, and United Healthcare; however, we do not accept Medicare or Medicaid. We also offer private pay options.

Are therapy visits virtual or in-person?

Currently, we provide therapy visits exclusively online for Michigan residents via our 100% secure video conferencing service. We also plan to offer in-office visits in the broader Detroit metro area soon.

What are the pros and cons of therapy?

Therapy can be a huge benefit to individuals from all walks of life; however, there are always risks to be considered when getting started. Tough emotions, difficult memories, and challenging thoughts may arise as a result of the therapy process, and clients must be prepared to face these - with the support of their therapist - so they may reach their goals of healing, peace, and balance.
