Questions for FCW
Finding the right therapist often raises many questions. Whether you’re navigating insurance, past frustrations, or just starting your search, we are here to help clarify what to expect and how FCW makes the process easier, more thoughtful, and more effective from the start.
Therapists can play a pivotal role in the therapeutic process. Don't just take the first person who has an opening in their schedule. All of the science points to the power and the delicate nature of the therapeutic relationship. This is an artform. Working with the right person can save a client an invaluable amount of time and money.
No, at FCW we offer referrals beyond therapists, connecting clients with coaches, psychiatrists, APRNs, psychologists, and evaluation specialists. We build individualized support teams based on each client’s needs, preferences, and goals to ensure truly comprehensive care.
Finding the right match is a process, and FCW is committed to getting it right. If a referral doesn’t feel like the best fit after a session or two, Lauren will work with you to reassess and provide additional, carefully selected options. Your comfort and connection matter.
FCW offers a hands-on, relationship-based service—never just a list of names. Lauren personally vets and connects you to therapists based on your needs, goals, and personality, offering thoughtful guidance every step of the way.
Absolutely. Many clients come to FCW after feeling frustrated with past therapy experiences. Lauren helps clarify what didn’t work and makes new, carefully selected connections to therapists who are a better match.
Lauren, the founder of FCW, personally meets every professional before adding them to the network. She never makes a referral to anyone she hasn’t vetted directly and ensures every connection meets her high standards of care.
The FCW network is never limited to one region. If a client or college student needs support elsewhere, Lauren will cast a wide net, vet new professionals personally, and build a custom network to meet the specific needs of each situation.
Absolutely not. FCW firmly believes this would compromise the integrity and the professional nature of their care. Fees and kickbacks would create a conflict of interest and go against Lauren's dedication to providing compassionate and individualized care.
No, FCW operates as a consulting service rather than a health care provider and is not eligible for insurance reimbursement. However, we work hard to ensure our fees are reasonable and accessible for every client.
At FCW, we consider insurance needs when sourcing referrals. While not every match may fall within a specific plan, we will always be transparent about options and help you make the most informed decision based on coverage, availability, and quality of care.
