  • Colorway Wellness offers telehealth therapy for women in Virginia using an integrative, trauma-informed, evidence-based therapeutic approach. A collaborative and encouraging therapeutic process is used to provide a safe space to help you thrive. One or more of the following therapies may be used in your personalized treatment plan:

  • For your comfort and convenience, only telehealth therapy appointments are available. Colorway Wellness uses a secure HIPAA compliant telehealth video conferencing platform, powered by SimplePractice, for all appointments. To ensure an optimal telehealth therapy experience, it is recommended that you use a desktop computer, laptop computer, tablet device, or smartphone with reliable, high-speed internet connection.

  • Telehealth therapy is convenient.

    Things like rain, traffic, finding parking, or coordinating childcare can make traveling even short distances complicated. Telehealth therapy makes it possible for you to meet from the comfort of your couch, office, hotel room, or anywhere you have access to the internet.

    Telehealth therapy protects your health.

    During the pandemic, telehealth therapy kept clients and therapists connected during quarantine, safe from exposure to the virus, and protected those with weakened immune systems. Telehealth therapy continues to help eliminate the spread of germs and allows clients to receive therapy even when they are feeling under the weather.

    Telehealth therapy is supported by research.

    Research has shown that telehealth therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy. In fact, a 2018 study found that telehealth therapy worked for reducing PTSD symptoms and clients were just as satisfied with their experience as the in-person therapy clients.

  • Colorway Wellness is an out-of-network provider that does not accept insurance. However, many insurance companies provide reimbursement for out-of-network services. For your convenience, Colorway Wellness partners with Mentaya, a platform that helps clients get money back for out-of-network therapy sessions.

  • If your insurance plan offers out-of-network benefits, it means they will cover a portion of the cost when you see a therapist who doesn't have a direct contract with your insurance company.

    Unlike in-network providers, who bill your insurance company directly, with out-of-network therapists, you typically pay for the session upfront and then submit a claim to your insurance for reimbursement.

    Insurance companies often reimburse a percentage of the therapist's fee, usually after you meet an out-of-network deductible. For example, after you meet a $1,000 deductible, your insurance may reimburse 50-80% of the session cost.

    Out-of-network benefits give you the flexibility to choose a therapist based on your needs and preferences, not just those in-network.
