Where can I attend a telehealth appointment?
You need to be physically located in Michigan for the telehealth services described here. Tell the clinic where you expect to attend sessions, particularly if you travel or divide your time between states. Ask about eligibility before requesting an appointment from outside Michigan.
For the session itself, think about where you can speak privately, hear clearly and use a reliable internet connection. If finding a private space is difficult, bring that up before scheduling so you and the clinician can discuss whether online sessions fit your circumstances.
Choosing between online and in-person therapy
Online therapy can reduce the travel needed to get to an appointment. An office appointment may appeal to you if you prefer a separate space for therapy or have less privacy at home. Your concerns, preferences and the clinician's assessment all matter when choosing a format.
Daniel also offers in-person sessions at 30100 Telegraph Road, Suite 273, Bingham Farms, near Southfield, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills and Bloomfield Township. Chana currently works online only. Contact the clinic to discuss the available options rather than assuming that every service is offered in every format.

Fees and insurance
The published private-pay fee for a first 60-minute individual therapy appointment is $180. The published private-pay fee for an ongoing 55-minute individual therapy session is $175. Insurance participation varies by therapist and plan. Ask about the clinician you would work with, your exact insurance plan and telehealth benefits before scheduling. The clinic's insurance and fees page has the current published information.
How do I request a first online appointment?
Use the appointment-request page or contact the clinic. Tell us you are seeking telehealth, that you will be located in Michigan during appointments, and whether you have a clinician preference. You do not need to share a detailed clinical history in a website inquiry.
We respond to inquiries within one week. Submitting a form or appointment request does not confirm an appointment; availability and clinician fit still need to be established. Before your first session, ask the clinic about the intake steps and how you will join the online appointment.
