Emily Lehman, LMHC
Getting Started
Scheduling
& Paperwork
Please reach out to me to schedule your first appointment. I am routinely available Monday - Friday from 9 AM - 3 PM for sessions online. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available in-person as well. Intensive experiences may be scheduled outside these routine hours.
​
After we have set a time, I will send you a link to my online portal for you to complete paperwork before we meet. This is a required step, so that I can verify your identity and review your documents before your session.
Fees for therapy
Included with my professional service to you, I will bill your insurance company for counseling. For usual therapy I currently accept the following insurance:
-
Aetna
-
Anthem BCBS
-
Caresource Marketplace
-
Maritain Health / CHA
-
UMR
-
United Healthcare / Optum​
I cannot accept any EAP programs.​
Intensives are a different self-pay service and pricing is available on request.
​
For clients who would rather pay directly for therapy services without insurance, my discounted fee is $130 for hour sessions (aprox. 55 minutes). I accept cash or credit card. Payment is due at the time of service.
​
Appointments must be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance or a $90 fee will apply.​ Unfortunately, without advanced notice I cannot fill your appointment so you will be responsible for that time. (Of course, if we both agree that circumstances were unavoidable, I may waive that fee.)
​
If you are experiencing financial hardship, ask about limited openings for a reduced fee.

FAQs
Q: Do you take Medicaid or Medicare?
A: Unfortunately, no, I am not in-network with any Medicaid or Medicare plans.
​
Q: Is your office handicapped accessible?
A: There is one full step plus a threshold in order to enter. We do not have an ADA restroom. However, my office is on the first floor for those who have limited mobility.
​
Q: How do I know if I can use my insurance?
A: Before we meet, you will need to call the number on the back of your insurance card and verify if I am a provider you can see. Also ask what your co-pay or deductible may be for mental health care and if you need pre-authorization to see me. If you want to take advantage of the cash discount rate, insurance cannot be used. Insurance is also not billable for intensive experiences. Please reach out to talk about the investment for intensives.
​
Q: What payment will I owe?
A: If we have already discussed and verified your insurance, you may only owe me your co-pay at each session (payable by cash or credit card). If you do not have your insurance information available, you will owe the full fee for services. Some clients choose not to file with their insurance carrier and I provide them a discounted rate for this.
​
Q: What should I do when I arrive?
A: You can park on the side streets or behind the building at 515 LincolnWay West in Mishawaka. Enter through the marked back door and wait until your scheduled time when I will greet you for your appointment.
​
Q: What if I still have questions?
The quickest way to get in touch with me is text, so feel free to text me if you have other questions at 574-400-7250.
