Starting therapy
How do I start therapy in Minneapolis?
Four decisions get you started: what you want help with, how you will pay, in person or telehealth, and when you can attend. If you are looking for mental health resources Minneapolis offers beyond crisis lines, therapy is the most common next step.
At Lumeva Wellness, you do not need a referral to contact us, and we verify your insurance benefits before your first visit, at no cost to you.
1
Name what you want to change. Two or three specifics, such as sleep, panic at work or a stalled relationship.
2
Check coverage. Read how insurance and self-pay work.
3
Choose your format. In person at our Minneapolis office or by telehealth.
4
Book and bring the basics. Your insurance card and photo ID, if you are using insurance.
5
Treat the first sessions as a fit check. Ask how the therapist works and how you will both know it is helping.
Not sure therapy is the right step? Book a first session or see how counseling and therapy works.
What can I do while I wait for my first appointment?
Keep a short daily note to bring to the first visit.
Want to talk to someone in the meantime? Use the Warmline or a support group. Things feel unsafe? Use 988 or Cope.
First psychiatric visit
What should I expect at a first psychiatric appointment?
A first visit is mainly a structured conversation about your symptoms, history and goals. Whether medication is recommended depends on that conversation, and the decision is yours.
Your clinician may ask about
What to bring
Bring your insurance card and photo ID if you are using insurance, a list of everything you take with doses, and your questions written down.
Keep your medication as is.
Do not stop or change a medication on your own before the visit. Decide changes with the prescriber.
Describe what it did.
“Helped my sleep but flattened my mood” tells a prescriber more than “it did not work.”
Ask about side effects.
Ask what side effects to watch for and when to call.
You do not have to do therapy too. For the full picture, see how psychiatric care and medication management works at Lumeva Wellness.
Choosing care
Which type of care should I book first?
Start with therapy to build tools, psychiatric care if symptoms get in the way or you are wondering about medication, and ARMHS if persistent mental illness makes daily tasks hard to manage.
Therapy
One-on-one counseling with a therapist. Often a fit when you want to understand patterns and build usable tools.
Psychiatric care
Evaluation and medication management with a prescriber. Often a fit when symptoms get in the way even with effort, or you are wondering about medication.
ARMHS
Skill-building support for daily living, covered under Minnesota Medical Assistance for eligible adults. Often a fit when persistent mental illness makes daily tasks hard to manage.
This is a rough guide, not a diagnosis. If you cannot tell which fits, contact us.
ARMHS
What is ARMHS, and who qualifies?
ARMHS (Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services) is skills-based support at home or in the community for adults whose mental illness limits daily functioning.
Who it is for
Adults 18 and older with a recent diagnostic assessment showing ARMHS is medically necessary and substantial difficulty in three or more areas of daily life. See the state’s ARMHS overview.
Where it happens
Where it works best for the person, such as at home or in the community.
Not sure you qualify? Ask us how the assessment works.
Need a shorter wait? FastTrackerMN.org is a free statewide directory with real-time availability estimates from participating providers.
ARMHS is one of the mental health resources Minneapolis adults can use for daily living support. See who ARMHS at Lumeva Wellness is for.
