WHY PSYCHOTHERAPY?
Because life is full of suffering. As humans, we experience psychological pain and sometimes that pain interferes with our ability to live lives full of joy, contentment and satisfaction. Psychotherapy is the process by which you acknowledge your suffering, envision and clarify your preferred way of being and feeling in the world and work to develop the understanding and skills you require to move you toward your goals. Our therapists use evidence-based interventions to help you transform your suffering into a deeper, more meaningful experience of life.

Testimonials
"I cannot believe the impact EMDR has had on me. I know I have a lot of work to do, but it's literally like a small broken piece of me has "healed." My soul, spirit, and mind has a renewed sense of energy and peace. Your facilitation has been truly remarkable in assisting me to get here."

Do I need therapy?
In our opinion, everyone could benefit from a good therapist! Therapy provides a safe and non-judgmental space to assess your presenting issues, take stock of what's working and what no longer serves you, and to move forward with support and guidance.
For therapy to be covered by insurance, it must be "medically necessary," meaning you meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis. Your therapist will work collaboratively with you to determine if your symptoms require treatment. Hint: The vast majority of people seeking treatment will qualify for insurance to cover therapy costs.
Do you take insurance?
We are in network with most Blue Cross Blue Shield and will file claims on your behalf. We recommend you check your benefits with your insurance company and inquire whether pre-authorization is required.
We are not in network with the BCBS Community Plan. For all other insurance you must check on out-of-network benefits and will be responsible for filing claims directly with your insurance company. We can provide any paperwork you need for any out-of-network insurance companies.
What happens once I schedule?
Once you schedule your appointment, you will receive an email invitation to our secure portal where you will complete all your intake paperwork online prior to your first appointment.
Through the portal, you will be able to schedule and cancel appointments, view and pay bills, and securely message your provider.
How does billing work?
We collect payments due from deductible amounts, copays, coinsurance and private pay amounts on the date of service or when amounts come due as insurance pays. The majority of clients are set up on autopay with a credit card, but if you prefer to pay with cash or check, you are more than welcome to pay with cash or check. We automatically set clients up on autopay and will keep you on autopay unless you advise us otherwise.
How will I know therapy is working?
When you begin therapy, your therapist will work with you to develop a treatment plan that outlines your goals and how you will reach those goals. You and your therapist will review your progress regularly to assess how well therapy is working.
How do I schedule an appointment?
The easiest way to schedule is by clicking the "Schedule" link at the top of this page. You will be directed to a secure portal where you can choose your therapist and make an appointment at your convenience. You can also call 563.265.1529 or send us an email to sara@qcpsychotherapy.com.
How much does therapy cost?
Please call for specific rates as they do change over time and by provider.
For individuals with insurance, your insurance company will set the rate that we charge you. Based on your plan, you may be responsible for a co-pay, co-insurance and/or a deductible amount. Out-of-pocket costs vary by plan. We are happy to help you understand your insurance and coverage. Just give us a call.
What do I do if I need to talk and you are closed?
Therapists will make every effort to return calls in a timely manner but are not capable of responding to emergencies. If you believe you are in a life threatening or emergency situaiton, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
What if I cannot afford therapy
Quad City Psychotherapy is proud to offer an affordable counseling option through our Graduate Student Intern program. Graduate Students are in the final portion of their Master's degree and are supervised by licensed clinicians in the practice. They can see folks for $25/session.
