Let’s get started.
You deserve to live a safe, happy, and healthy life.
But for many children and adults in Ohio, including Cleveland, the journey to hope and healing is often blocked by anxiety, depression, family and marital problems, psychiatric disorders, and lack of access to community resources.
According to America’s Mental Health Rankings:
“Nearly 25% of Ohio adults are experiencing mental health issues, according to nonprofit Mental Health America (MHA).
Just three states reported higher figures in 2019.
Ohio slid from 11th to 25th in the group’s annual mental health rankings, meaning the situation dramatically worsened year-over-year.”
We strive to help change that here at Counseling Now.
We hope that through our online counseling and psychiatry services in Cleveland, we can help every child and adult succeed in every aspect of their lives.
Counseling Now believes in a patient-first approach to mental healthcare, psychiatry, case management and pediatric counseling in Cleveland
That’s why every child and adult who comes to us is treated with the same level of care and respect.
We don’t think of our patients as numbers on a spreadsheet or even as cases that need solving—we think of them as individuals, with unique needs and stories.
And because we understand this, expect to receive an individualized treatment plan that considers your culture, needs, personal history, and specific situation.
Finally, trust us to serve you with respect and dignity no matter your age, gender identity, race, ethnicity, mental health issue, or where you live in Ohio.
We aren’t just a counseling service—we’re a community of people who care about you and want to see you succeed.
We understand that financial concerns can be a huge barrier to seeking help. For many families and parents in Ohio, that can mean giving up their children to the state in order to get them the mental health care they cannot afford.
According to the MHA, 27.7% of Ohio adults who needed mental health care did not get it due to cost.
That’s why we accept a wide range of insurance plans so that everyone in Cleveland can have easy access to timely and affordable care.
Specifically, we accept Medicaid, Medicare, Tricare, and all major commercial insurance plans for all of our online counseling and psychiatry services in Cleveland. If you don’t have any insurance coverage or you’re covered by an out-of-network plan, don’t worry. We also offer self-pay options and flexible payment plans to all of our patients.
The MHA has presented worrying findings about mental health access in Ohio. In their report, they said that:
“Leading up to the pandemic, large shares of adults with mental illness did not receive care.
In Ohio, 63.4% (567,000) of adults with mild mental illness, 50.7% (335,000) of adults with moderate mental illness, and 30.5% (186,000) of adults with serious mental illness in the past year did not receive mental health treatment.
in 2018-2019, 7.5% (664,000) of adults in Ohio reported an unmet need for mental health treatment in the past year, which was higher than the U.S. share of 6.2% (15.4 million).”
Fortunately, modern technology has broken down barriers to mental health care access.
We’ve taken full advantage of this here at Counseling Now. We’ve designed all of our online counseling, psychiatric services, and pediatric counseling in Cleveland to be accessible through any device with a connection to the internet, such as a, desktop computer, laptop, or tablet.
No need to miss work or school. Never worry about securing transportation, childcare, or forcing yourself to interact with strangers while waiting for your session. Attend your therapy online services at your own time, in any place you feel safe and comfortable. Finally, you don’t have to wait weeks or months to receive care either– most of our clients are able to book an appointment and see a mental health provider within the same week.
