Mental health counseling at Eleve Wellness is outpatient individual, group, and family therapy for adults living with depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and co-occurring conditions. You work with a licensed therapist using evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Sessions are available in person and by secure telehealth, and we verify your insurance benefits in 15 minutes.
Who mental health counseling is for
Counseling at Eleve Wellness is the right level of care when symptoms affect your daily life but you do not need a hospital or residential stay. You may be managing depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, burnout, or a personality disorder, and you want regular support while keeping your job, school, and home routine. We treat adults 18 and older, including people stepping down from a higher level of care and people starting therapy for the first time. When a mental health condition and a substance use disorder are present together, counseling addresses both.
People come to counseling at different starting points. Some have just finished a higher level of care and want to keep their progress steady as they return to work and family. Others have never been in therapy and are reaching out because anxiety, low mood, or a recent loss has made daily life harder to manage. Counseling meets both: the intake assessment sets a starting point, and your clinician adjusts the plan as your needs change over the weeks and months that follow.
Conditions we treat
We provide counseling for the following conditions:
- Depression and mood disorders
- Anxiety and panic disorders
- Trauma and PTSD
- ADHD
- Bipolar disorder
- Burnout and chronic stress
- Personality disorders
- Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders
If you are unsure which fits your situation, the intake assessment sorts it out. Call (833) 902-7098 to talk it through.
Counseling formats we offer
We offer individual, group, family, and telehealth counseling, and most plans combine more than one.
Individual counseling is one-on-one work with a licensed therapist, where you set goals, build coping skills, and address the conditions affecting you. Group counseling brings together a small number of people working through related challenges under a licensed clinician, so you gain both skills and peer support. Family counseling involves the people closest to you, rebuilding communication and helping them understand what you are working through. Every format is available in person or by secure telehealth, so distance or schedule does not keep you from care.
Choosing a format is not permanent. Many people start with individual sessions to build a foundation, add a group as they grow more comfortable, and bring in family sessions when repairing relationships becomes part of the work. Telehealth and in-person sessions can be mixed in the same plan, so a week with a tight schedule does not mean missing care.
What counseling at Eleve Wellness looks like
Counseling begins with a clinical assessment that maps your symptoms, history, and goals into a treatment plan. From there you meet with a licensed clinician on a schedule built around your life. Session length and frequency are customizable and set with your clinician on your intake call, rather than forced into a fixed slot. Your plan can combine individual, group, and family sessions, and it adjusts as you progress.
Counseling alongside other levels of care at Eleve Wellness
Counseling is one part of a connected continuum at Eleve Wellness. If weekly sessions are not enough to keep you stable, we can step you up to our Intensive Outpatient Program or Partial Care Program without sending you elsewhere. If you are finishing a more intensive program, counseling is the step-down that keeps your progress from slipping. Because every level runs with the same clinical team, moving between them does not mean repeating your story to someone new.
Therapies and modalities offered
Our counseling draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and EMDR, matched to your diagnosis rather than applied from a template.
CBT helps you identify and change the thought patterns driving depression and anxiety. It is structured and goal-focused, and most people use it to connect specific situations to the thoughts and reactions that follow, then practice new responses between sessions. DBT builds skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, and fits people managing intense emotions, self-harm urges, or a personality disorder. It pairs individual work with group skills practice, which is why it often spans both formats. EMDR is structured trauma therapy for people carrying PTSD or unresolved trauma, delivered by clinicians trained in the protocol, and it works through specific memories in a paced, contained way rather than asking you to retell everything at once. When a mental health condition and a substance use disorder occur together, your counseling integrates both rather than treating them in separate places.
Individual vs. group counseling: which is right for you?
Dimension | Individual counseling | Group counseling |
Format | One-on-one with a therapist | Small clinician-led group |
Best for | Focused work on your specific condition | Skill-building plus peer support |
Privacy | Fully private | Shared within the group |
Pace | Set entirely around you | Shared group structure |
Common use | Trauma, depression, anxiety | DBT skills, shared experience, reducing isolation |
Most people benefit from both: individual sessions for focused personal work, group sessions to practice skills and feel less alone. Your clinician recommends the mix at assessment and adjusts it as you progress.
Insurance and cost
Most commercial insurance covers outpatient mental health counseling, with your out-of-pocket cost set by your plan’s deductible and copay. We verify your benefits on any plan in 15 minutes, free and confidential, so you know your coverage before your first session. If you are paying out of pocket or your plan is out of network, we walk you through your options before you commit to anything.
What to expect when you start counseling
Starting counseling begins with a conversation, not a commitment. Your first step is an intake assessment, where a licensed clinician learns what brought you in, what you have tried before, and what you want to change. From there, you and your clinician agree on the type of therapy and a schedule that fit your life, and the work begins at a pace you set. You do not need to have everything figured out before you reach out, and you can ask about cost, insurance, and what sessions look like before committing to anything.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between counseling and a higher level of care like IOP?
Counseling is regular therapy sessions scheduled around your life, while our Intensive Outpatient Program runs several hours a day, multiple days a week. Counseling fits people who need consistent support but not daily structure. If your needs change, you can move between levels without leaving Eleve Wellness.
Do you treat mental health on its own, or only alongside addiction?
We treat mental health conditions on their own, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD. We also treat co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders together when both are present.
Can I do counseling by telehealth?
Yes. We offer secure video sessions and in-person sessions, with the same licensed clinicians for both. You can choose what works for your schedule and comfort.
How often will I have counseling sessions?
Session frequency and length are customizable and set with your clinician at intake, based on your symptoms and goals, rather than a one-size schedule.
How quickly can I start?
As soon as possible. Call (833) 902-7098 and our team will verify your benefits and schedule your first assessment.
