Frequently asked questions
See all FAQsWhat will we talk about during the Clinical Evaluation?
During the Clinical Evaluation, you’ll discuss your symptoms and how they are affecting you. We will ask about things like the traumatic experience, your medical and family history, and medication use. If necessary, we may collaborate with you to create a safety plan (a brief intervention to help cope with self-harm and suicidal thoughts).
What happens if at the Clinical Evaluation we decide Nema is not a good fit for my treatment needs?
At Nema, we treat PTSD and a range of trauma and stress-related disorders using evidence-based therapies, starting with Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). Your therapist will assess your needs, provide a diagnosis, and recommend a personalized treatment plan. If together we determine that Nema isn't the right fit for your needs, we won't leave you without a path forward. Within 72 hours, we'll provide three referrals for other treatment options, and we do our best to find providers that are in-network with your insurance and match your preferences for things like virtual vs. in-person care.
How soon will I be able to start treatment?
It typically takes less than a week to get you started in treatment. Most patients startIf Nema is a fit for your needs, we aim to get your treatment started right away so that you can begin feeling better as soon as possible! In some cases, after the Clinical Evaluation we’ll need to talk to another one of your providers (e.g., primary care doctor, therapy, psychiatrist) before starting Nema. To do so, we’ll ask that you sign a Release of Information form so that we can coordinate your care. After we’ve connected with your external provider, we’ll begin scheduling your ongoing sessions with your Nema therapist.
How do I get started at Nema?
The first step is a free information call with our Admissions team — we'll get to know you, answer your questions, and talk through whether Nema might be a good fit. If it is, we'll verify your insurance benefits and walk you through any costs before scheduling you for the first phase of treatment: a Clinical Evaluation with a Nema therapist.
What will happen at the end of the Clinical Evaluation?
Your therapist will assess your needs, provide a diagnosis, and recommend a personalized treatment plan. If Nema is the right fit for you, we'll proceed with scheduling your first treatment session. As a reminder, patients meet multiple times a week with a therapist as part of our intensive treatment model. The frequency of treatment will depend on your availability, your clinician's recommendation, and your clinician's availability.
