Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if you're the right therapist for me?
+Great question! In our first session, we'll talk about what you're going through and what you're hoping to get from therapy. I'll be honest about whether I think I'm the best fit. If I'm not, I'll help you find someone who is. No pressure—just an honest conversation about how I can help. You can learn more about our other therapists if you'd like to explore your options.
Do you accept my insurance?
+We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Select Health, PEHP, Blue Cross Blue Shield, EMI Health, Tricare, United Healthcare, MotivHealth, and UMR. Visit our insurance page to verify your specific coverage and learn about your benefits.
How long does therapy typically take?
+It depends on your goals and what you're working through. Some clients see significant progress in 8-12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll check in regularly to make sure therapy is still helping and adjust our approach as needed. According to the American Psychological Association, treatment length varies based on individual needs and goals.
Do you provide bilingual therapy services?
+Yes! Alexis is fluent in both English and Spanish, and provides culturally sensitive therapy that honors each client's unique background and experiences.
Do you offer virtual/telehealth sessions?
+Yes! I offer both in-person sessions at our Pleasant Grove office and secure video sessions throughout Utah. Virtual therapy can be just as effective and offers more flexibility for busy schedules.
What happens in the first session?
+The first session is all about getting to know you and understanding what's going on. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you're hoping to achieve, and whether we're a good fit to work together. There's no pressure—it's just a conversation to see if I can help. Learn more about what to expect at Willow Therapy.
What is your approach to therapy?
+I use client-centered approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, and DBT. My style is compassionate, adaptable, and culturally competent, focused on helping you feel seen, heard, and safe.
