About Makin Wellness | Pennsylvania Online Therapy & Counseling

Makin Wellness | Pennsylvania Online Therapy and Counseling is an online behavioral health company that offers treatment to people in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They treat people for many behavioral health conditions including substance use disorder and alcohol use disorder. Treatment is done online and you can select a local therapist if you would like.

The company accepts many types of private insurance and self-pay. Most of the therapists who treat substance use disorder only accept clients who are in their network. Some of the therapists who work for this company offer in person visits, but most of the sessions are done online.

A Helpful Online Platform

Finding a therapist who is right for you can be a daunting task but this online platform makes it easier. You can search for a person who specializes in substance use conditions or dual diagnosis if you also have a mental health condition.

If you feel more relaxed talking to a person who is of a certain age or a certain gender, you can limit your search to those characteristics as well. You can also change counselors at any time. Since most therapists are online, you are not limited to those in your own area.

You will be able to see the therapeutic method that each counselor uses. You will be able to find everything from a Christian therapist to one who is non-religious. You will be able to see the availability of the therapist you want.

Therapy From Your Home

People often feel more relaxed talking about difficult things when they are in their own home. You can chat from the place you feel most comfortable and you will not have to worry about being late to your appointment.

Makin wellness was recommended to me at the beginning of an extremely challenging time in life. I am so fortunate to have found Rahmah. Navigating through the dark night of the soul is not a journey done well alone. Yes I have a great supportive group of friends and an amazing family. Adding a compassionate psychologist helps make this journey more tolerable. I've had/have legal issues, financial issues and medical issues, too much to expect family and friends to support. Matkin does not give legal, financial or medical advice. However when the devastating medical diagnosis hits home, the legal issues feel never ending and financial issues squeeze tightly, I have felt supported through all of these with a tremendous amount of wisdom, knowledge and compassion. Rahmah and her team are in it for all the right reasons.Life is not always kind. You are not alone.Thank you Matkin

Accepted Insurance

Makin Wellness | Pennsylvania Online Therapy & Counseling works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatments

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Appointment was confirmed through email 3 different times. Insurance info was given in painful detail. Messages were sent via text message during working hours and considered scam, and honestly reading the messages they seem like a scam. Appointment was booked through ZocDoc but apparently not manually through their system, even though the appointment was confirmed 3 separate times and video link had been shared for over 4 days. Office texted to cancel the appointment less than 24 hours notice after I had already taken off to ensure I could attend the appointment. Practitioner also listed available appointment times, however when you read the fine print, it showed that they would be supervising as other therapists worked those sessions after 5pm. Major red flags for me and would not recommend to new patients seeking someone trained in this industry, coming from someone who also works in behavioral health.

After months of not having therapy because the last job I had, I don't think the insurance was compatible, I could be wrong, I was glad to have a session with Tori today! I always feel better after having a therapy session, although sometimes it can be draining.

This place seemed promising at first, but sadly, it left me feeling disappointed and in my own head even more than before. I’m not sure if it was due to a lack of organization or lack of care, but after I asked to switch therapists—following a moment where the therapist questioned whether I was "bringing something up just to have something else to talk about"—I never heard back. (Not only is that unprofessional, but girl seriously? You think I want to chat for fun in this economy???) My care specialist stopped reaching out after I shared what I was looking for in a therapist and didn’t respond when I followed up for an update. I tried calling the office multiple times to figure out what was going on but never received any follow-up. As of today, my status in their system still shows as active, even though I haven’t heard from anyone in months. If I had the choice, I would have never tried this place out so this experience wouldn’t have stuck with me for as long as it did. *I want to emphasize, however, that this is just my personal experience and doesn’t reflect the practice or therapists as a whole. This is not to deter anyone reading this from seeking help. I was just unfortunate in my situation and wanted to share it in case anybody else went through similar. Thankfully, I’ve found a therapist elsewhere since then, and have began my healing process with them.

After a horrible experience with another therapist, I was apprehensive about starting with a new one. Tori and Makin Wellness eased all of my fears, and Tori is exceptional.
