In today's busy world more and more people are experiencing high levels of stress. They often have to work long hours, face constant money worries and juggle family commitments.

Payment is another factor to consider. Some insurance plans are prepared to cover the cost of therapy sessions, but this is by no means universal. It is a good idea to call the insurance company well ahead of time and see what they are willing to pay for. Each practice has their own payment plan and some do accept installments.
