Minnesota Community
Based Services
School-Based Partnerships
Our school mental health programming makes services accessible in K-12 students’ school environments, eliminating the accessibility barrier. Ellie’s school partnerships don’t stop with students. We offer wellness services and education for teachers, administrators, and other support staff, providing unique tools and resources to help those working with students. Our services are onsite in schools during the school year and are also available during the summer. Services are billed through insurance.
Schools must have a signed ROI (release of information) and provide the client’s insurance information on the online referral.
In-Home Therapy
We have In-Home Therapy services available for when clients need us to come to them. We offer in-home talk therapy to meet the needs of individuals (adults, kids, and adolescents), families, and couples. Our therapists employ a variety of therapeutic approaches and off individualized care to support clients’ goals and to improve overall well-being.
In-Home Therapy services are available to clients with:
- A form of Minnesota Medical Assistance (MA) or Prepaid Medical Assistance Program (PMAP) for insurance
- A demonstrated barrier to a more traditional mode of care
These barriers include but are not limited to transportation, medical needs, or mental health symptoms, that make leaving the home for therapy difficult. In-Home services seek to challenge and overcome those obstacles, and provide high-quality care in the home, out in the community, or virtually.
Our In-Home Therapy providers currently service Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Washington, Anoka, Carver and Scott county.
In-Home Therapy FAQs
What is in-home mental health therapy?
Simply put, in home therapy is when a provider meets with a person in their home/community setting for a therapy session. This home counseling service is for individuals, adults, kids, parents, families and couples.
What are the benefits of in-home mental health services?
The number one benefit of this service is that the therapist comes to the client—it’s like mobile mental health therapy! We meet with clients in the comfort of their homes, so it is convenient for the client and can help them feel safe and comfortable. Whatever is acting as a barrier to a client coming into the office for their therapy doesn’t have to be a barrier to their healing and progress.
What conditions can be treated with in-home therapy?
In-home psychotherapy services can treat most common mental health conditions and concerns. In-home therapy works with a large variety of diagnoses from depression and anxiety to post-traumatic stress disorder to bipolar and schizophrenia.
Who can receive in-home mental health therapy?
In-home therapy can be especially convenient for therapy with kids, parents, and families. With families’ busy schedules, in-home family therapists can meet with kids and families where they are at, which allows in-home therapists to provide more direct support to parents and kids.
What should I expect from in-home mental health services?
Clients can expect that an Ellie in-home therapist will call and talk to them before the first appointment, introduce themselves, and allow the client to ask questions about what the first session will look like. Then, an Ellie therapist will come to the client’s home (or other meeting place), meeting clients where they are at to complete a diagnostic assessment, create a treatment plan, and then move on to regular sessions with quality care, compassion, and unconditional positive regard.
How does in-home therapy compare to online therapy?
In-home therapy offers flexibility; not only can we come to your home, but we can also meet with you in the community (e.g. coffee shops, parks, on a walk, libraries, schools, etc.) OR for those days when you don’t want to meet in person we can offer telehealth sessions as well. Online therapists do not have the same level of flexibility as an in-home therapist.
