The "e" in e-Resilience symbolizes the electronic, online, or digital aspect of resilience that helps youth cope with challenges or adversity that occurs in digital ecosystems.

Online harm refers to any harmful behavior, content, or systematic and systemic bias that occurs on the Internet. Online harm may include cyberbullying, digital harassment, online discrimination, systematic errors in algorithms that produce unfair outcomes or algorithmic bias, the sharing of private information without consent or doxing, the use of AI to make realistic looking videos/audio or deepfakes, and other forms of digital abuse that may cause mental health difficulties.

Problematic media use refers to behaviors like excessive time on digital devices, social media, or the Internet that that negatively impact's a person's physical or mental health, school performance, or social relationships.

We see youth from the ages 6 - 22 years old for individual therapy via telehealth (in-person services to come) who are experiencing mental health difficulties (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma, or behavioral concerns) due to online harm or problematic media use. Please note that for children younger than 8 years old treatment will likely be primarily focused on providing parents with behavior management support to address behavioral and mood concerns related to problematic media use. We do not see youth who are experiencing psychosis,(https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/psychosis) substance abuse concerns,(https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/conditions/substance-related-disorders) or have a recent history of multiple suicide attempts.(https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/two-takes-on-depression/202507/understanding-levels-of-suicidal-behaviors) These youth will benefit most from a higher level of support like an emerging psychosis program, a substance abuse program, or an intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization program.

We do not accept insurance. However, insurance can still help pay for your treatment. We are considered "out-of-network providers," which means your insurance can reimburse you for a percentage of the cost depending on your coverage. The typical reimbursement rate ranges from 60-80% of cost after your deductible. We partner with Mentaya, a third party service that will handle the entire reimbursement process for you once you initiate services. We recommend you use our Mentaya calculator in our Therapy Fees section to calculate your likely reimbursement rate. We typically include the following codes on the superbill (itemized receipt for your services) that Mentaya then submits to your insurance company. - 90791 - Initial assessment and evaluation for therapy - 90832 - 30 min individual therapy session - 90834 - 45 min individual therapy session - 90837 - 60 min individual therapy session - 90846 - 50 min family therapy session w/o the patient present - 90847 - 50 min family therapy session w/the patient present

Before the initial appointment, we will arrange a 15-minute phone call to learn about your concerns and reasons for pursuing therapy to determine if our center and the treatment we provide is the best fit. We also use this time to share brief information about our practice and to answer questions you may have. Following this consult, we decide on whether to schedule an initial appointment.

We currently offer services exclusively through telehealth. We will be offering in-person services in Washington, D.C. in the near future.

It's important to find a good match between a therapist and client, as this can significantly affect the course of therapy. Take some time to read through our website to learn more about EWC and the work we do. This will help you to decide if we specialize in the concerns you/your child have. After this, we can schedule a 15 minute consultation to discuss more and decide together on whether EWC is the best place for you to begin treatment. After about 3-4 sessions with your provider, you'll know if the fit is right and can determine if it's appropriate to continue with treatment.
