Online Therapy for Women With Medicaid
Getting to a therapist’s office isn’t always easy. Work schedules, school, parenting responsibilities, transportation, health concerns, and distance can all make attending in-person appointments more difficult.
For eligible clients, online therapy may allow Victress to serve women throughout Illinois, not only those who live near our Palos Heights office.
Telehealth availability depends on your location, clinician licensure, Medicaid plan and benefits, clinical appropriateness, and provider availability.
Contact Victress to find out whether telehealth is available under your Medicaid plan.
Trauma & PTSD Therapy for Women
Trauma can affect many areas of a woman’s life, including relationships, confidence, emotional regulation, sleep, anxiety, mood, and the ability to feel safe.
Victress provides mental health support for women who have experienced trauma and symptoms associated with PTSD. Depending on the clinician and individual treatment plan, treatment approaches may include trauma-informed therapy and specialized approaches such as EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
Not every therapist provides EMDR. If you’re specifically interested in EMDR or trauma-focused therapy, please mention this when contacting Victress so our team can determine whether an appropriately trained clinician is available.
Anxiety & Depression Therapy for Women
Anxiety and depression can affect relationships, sleep, concentration, confidence, motivation, and everyday life. Women may also experience these concerns alongside major life transitions, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, pregnancy, postpartum changes, work stress, or other challenges.
Victress clinicians work with women experiencing anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Treatment approaches vary depending on the clinician and your individual needs.
Postpartum & Perinatal Mental Health Support
Pregnancy, childbirth, and becoming a parent can bring significant emotional and psychological changes. This period can also involve anxiety, depression, overwhelm, identity changes, relationship stress, grief, fear, or difficulty adjusting to new responsibilities.
Victress provides mental health support for women experiencing postpartum, perinatal, and motherhood-related concerns when an appropriate clinician is available. If you’re specifically seeking postpartum or perinatal support, please tell our team when requesting an appointment.
How Do I Know if My Medicaid Plan Covers Therapy at Victress?
Insurance can be confusing. The easiest way to determine whether your Medicaid plan may cover services at Victress is to contact our office and have your Medicaid insurance card available.
Our team can help determine whether Victress currently participates with your Medicaid plan, whether an appropriate clinician participates with your plan, whether that clinician is available, and whether in-person or telehealth services may be appropriate and covered.
Insurance verification does not guarantee payment. Your individual Medicaid plan determines final coverage and benefits.
