"When looking for a therapist, you’ll probably find a good many who don’t accept insurance. But many health plans cover therapy. In fact, if you have health insurance, you can probably use it to find an affordable therapist — or even, free therapy." Visit the Alma blog to figure out what your insurance covers, and develop an understanding of what health insurance is, and how it works. https://lnkd.in/et4NJpDG

We know that fertility treatment can be taxing. Over 50% of people undergoing treatment experience symptoms of depression, and over 75% experience anxiety. That’s why we’ve partnered with Alma to bring expert mental health care to our patients. Patients can search through Alma’s directory of over 20,000 therapists to find specialized support for fertility treatment that's covered by their insurance. Check out our website for more information on how we support our patients in all aspects of their fertility journey: https://lnkd.in/eCMqaQJV

Therapy doesn’t always work. Whether that’s due to a lack of connection between the therapist and client or an ineffective therapeutic approach, it all comes down to whether the client is able to find care that meets their personal needs. We surveyed nearly 7,000 people currently seeing a therapist through Alma to understand why these kinds of mismatches happen, what’s important in the search process, and how finding the right fit impacts their experience with care.

The idea that music can be beneficial to our mental health may feel like old news. But what if that music were specially filtered and sequenced, designed to soothe and shift your nervous system? While the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a relatively new intervention, polyvagal theory — the theory that led to the development of the SSP — is well-established. Research suggests that the nervous system plays a crucial role in our mental health and sense of well-being, which is where the SSP comes in. The SSP is a music playlist that engages the middle ear with frequencies we humans tend to associate with safety. 🫂 The middle ear is an amazing entry point for this kind of intervention because it’s directly connected to the vagus nerve… the main collection of nerves that help us calm down after major stress! If you’re curious to learn more, we have an introductory article to the SSP — including who the “ideal candidate” might be, what side effects there are, and the current research (and its limitations!) — visit the Alma blog

Whether you prefer to prepare or to “wing it,” a first therapy session can be intimidating. To make things easier, we’ve compiled the most common questions to ask a new-to-you therapist, using the acronym MATTY. - Modality: What modalities or types of therapy do you offer? What are you certified or trained in? What drew you to those modalities in the first place? - Approach: Generally speaking, what are you like as a therapist? What is your philosophy as a therapist and what are you most passionate about? - Typical Client: What is your typical client like? What do they tend to struggle with, what identities do they seem to share, and what makes you well-suited to support them? - Track Record: How long have you been a therapist for, and what do you think makes you a good therapist? - Yardstick: How do you measure progress? What signs do you look for to determine if a client is progressing or not? Do you use any assessment tools or give any homework?
