Transparent care is what makes Modern Minds modern.

Transparency in relationship and in the approach.

It is important that clients understand what it is happening in the context of a professional therapy relationship and with their health and wellbeing. Modern Minds takes the mystery out of psychotherapy, how change and healing happens, and the services that are provided. Modern Minds takes responsibility to provide ethical and respectful care where you and takes care to attuning to where you want to go.

Transparency to breaking stigma

Stigma, prejudice, and discrimination around mental health exists. We don’t know all the reasons why it exists, and we don’t always know how it shows up and how it impacts each of us. What we do know though is that talking about it seems to make it better. It makes it more comfortable for people to ask for the support they need and for people to offer support to others (even without having to ask). Modern Minds is a space to increase comfort to access and engage in a way that feels right to you.

Transparency when collaborating

Modern Minds takes a collaborative approach with clients. Who you are already interacting with in the world and who you access for support contributes to your external resources. If there is a way to fully leverage, improve, and expand those resources, let’s do it. If there are other providers, services, healers, mentors, family, or friends that you are connected with, we encourage you to invite them into our therapy relationship and further explore how they can best support you.

Transparency in building supportive communities

Modern Minds is consistently thinking of ways to drive and support development of community. We are all wired for connection. And that sense of connection helps us to overcome hard things and experience the fullness of life. Some of us are privileged to have experienced a community connection throughout our lives, and some of us haven’t had those opportunities or have not felt safe to engage with opportunities that were provided.

Modern Minds supports building community in a lot of different ways like participating in, volunteering, or promoting events that reflect our values. You will see us using our voice, profession, and social media platforms to help. If you have a question on what, how, or why we support different things, ask us. We will ask you what matters to you, too.

Developing opportunities for connection is what builds communities. Workshops, presentations, and group therapy sessions are all part of the services that Modern Minds provides rooted in the value of building community. Sometimes these opportunities are more comfortable to participate in than individual therapy sessions. Sometimes these opportunities are more affordable. Sometimes these opportunities help you to build connections to others and feel more supported. Whatever the reason, change and healing can happen in a lot of different formats. Modern Minds builds effective ways to access and engage a whole community around mental health and wellbeing.

Transparency in the cost of care

Modern Minds is committed to transparency for clients to know the cost of mental health care. The cost of care in many different health systems and services can be confusing and frustrating. This is one of the primary reasons Modern Minds is not contracted with insurance companies. Many insurance contracts require a medical diagnosis, information sharing, or other contractual agreements (such as arbitrary limits or authorizations for ‘extended care’) that are not expressly made clear to or the active choice of the insured person. It is far too common for clients to be unsure what to financially expect from their insurance benefits as mental health services are not always covered the same as other preventative medical care.

To simplify the process and better assure understanding of the cost of care, Modern Minds chooses to be a fee for service practice. This means fees are clearly identified for services and options of care (including the total cost of care) are reviewed and agreed upon between client and provider before services are delivered.
