NEW GAHANNA OFFICE LOCATION
How to make your initial appointment with CCBT:
New patients must CALL prior to being scheduled so that intake information
can be taken, insurance contacted when appropriate, and suggestions
for staff be provided. Please do not use email to make an initial
appointment as those emails will not be answered. New patients must
call 614.459.4490.
CCBT is pleased to announce that eight of its Independent
Practicing Affiliates will be attending, in October 2009, the 2-day basic
training from the Gottman Institute for couples/marriage therapy. CCBT is
providing stipends for the tuition costs to build CCBT's capacity to provide
empirically supported couples/marriage therapy.
CBT and Behavior Couples Therapy Noted as
Empirically Supported
A newly published article in Newsweek magazine reviews the problems in
psychotherapy that result from a lack of scientific grounding in treatments.
It mentions specifically cognitive-behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy,
and behavior couples therapy as methods that have been shown to have an
effect on many patients. If you would like to read the article, here is the

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
We have several contracts as a group with insurance carriers, and
within our practice, we have providers on almost all plans offered by
insurance. It is best to call our intake specialist to see what
coverage you have and who among our staff might be a good initial fit.
Of course, what we are told by a carrier in no way indicates that the
carrier will in fact provide reimbursement for services, as indicated
by that standard disclaimer stated by almost all carriers.
Where are your offices?
We have our main office at the juncture of Upper Arlington, Dublin,
and Columbus on Sawmill Road between Bethel Rd. and Henderson Rd. The
location is within a short drive to most northern suburbs. We have an
office in Gahanna and one in the city of Delaware, offering
appointments with several of our mental health providers that are
convenient as far north as Marion, and to the far east side of
Columbus. We see patients from as far away as Zanesville, Grove City,
Athens, Sterling, and Marion.
How do I make a first
appointment?
You call our office and are contacted by our intake staff. They will
review your interest in mental health services and inform you of
likely matches with clinicians at our office who have expressed their
competencies to fit your interests. If you decide to go forward, CCBT
administrative staff will set up your first appointment, and direct
you to download the forms you will need to complete before the first
session.
How are appointments made?
Appointments are generally scheduled by your individual therapist.
Our secretary is also available Monday through Friday from 8:15 a.m.
till 5:00 p.m. to assist you in scheduling appointments. The standard
appointment time is 45-50 minutes, although this may vary with
individual circumstances.
What if an appointment can’t be kept?
If you must cancel an appointment, please do so at least 24 hours
in advance to avoid being charged for the session.
How does a client contact CCBT in an emergency?
During non-business hours our phone is answered by voicemail. Each
clinician directs his/her clients/patients what to do. CCBT does not
operate 24 hour/7 day-a-week coverage, and you are directed to call
911 or go to the emergency room if you need
emergent care.
Will the information shared with a therapist be kept confidential?
The privacy of information exchanged with your therapist in the
course of diagnosis and treatment is protected by law. The law also
requires your therapist to break confidentiality with or without your
permission if you or someone else is at risk of serious harm. You and
your therapist may decide together that it is in your best interest
for CCBT to exchange information with another party. In that case,
your therapist may ask for written consent.
