to be matched with your therapist

Room 2, Monroe Street.

Two chairs, a window, no couch.

Our approach

A conversation between two people, not a procedure.

Most people who call us have never seen a therapist before. We keep it plain: you talk, we listen closely, and together we work out what would make next month easier than this one.

01

You set the pace

Nothing is asked of you in the first session that you do not want to share yet.

02

We say what we notice

Honest, kind feedback, and methods with good evidence behind them, CBT and ACT among them.

03

We plan the ending

Most clients come for eight to sixteen sessions. We review progress together every four.

Getting started

Three steps to your first session.

No referral, no long forms. Most people are sitting down with their therapist within a week of the first call.

01

Today

A free 15-minute call

Tell our intake coordinator what is going on, in your own words. Ask anything about fees or insurance.

02

Within 2 working days

Matched with a therapist

We suggest one therapist who fits your concern, schedule and budget, with a short note on why.

03

Usually within a week

Your first 50 minutes

In the room or online. If the fit is not right, we match you again at no cost.

Inside the practice

Ninety seconds inside Ovel.

Walk through the rooms, hear how a first session runs and meet two of our therapists, before you pick up the phone.

I came in for panic attacks before work. Twelve sessions later I still get nervous, but I know what to do with it now.

In crisis right now?

Ovel is not a crisis service. Call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, any hour, or call 911 if you are in danger.

Individual sessions are $140 for 50 minutes, couples and family sessions $175 for 75. A sliding scale from $60 is agreed on the free call, with no paperwork.
We are in network with most large Wisconsin health plans. For other plans we give you a superbill to claim out-of-network benefits, and HSA and FSA cards work at the desk.
You talk about what brought you in, at your own pace. Your therapist asks a few questions, shares first thoughts and agrees a plan with you. There is nothing to prepare.
Yes. What you share stays between you and your therapist. In the first session they explain the few exceptions, such as a serious risk to someone's safety.
Cancel or move a session up to 24 hours ahead at no charge, by phone, by email or with the link in your reminder.
Yes, at any time and at no cost. Tell us on a call or by email, and we match you again within two working days.
