Grow Therapy
Grow Therapy is a secure platform used for scheduling, telehealth sessions, and insurance-based billing. Clients with compatible insurance plans can easily book appointments, complete intake forms, and manage their care all in one place.

Headway
Headway is a streamlined platform that supports scheduling and handles insurance billing directly. It allows clients to book sessions, access virtual appointments, and receive clear information about their coverage and costs.

How it works
When selecting a booking link, you will be guided to the platform that best matches your insurance. Both Grow Therapy and Headway are designed to make the process simple, allowing you to easily schedule appointments, verify your benefits, and manage billing without added stress.

Yes, in-person sessions are currently offered, though availability is limited. Please reach out via email.

All appointment times are ongoing, recurring slots. When you select a time, you are reserving that space on a consistent basis (weekly or bi-weekly). This structure is intentional and supports continuity, consistency, and meaningful progress in therapy.

Yes, Aligned Wellness currently accepts insurance through the applicable platforms. Please see the booking page. Coverage will be verified prior to your first session. Private pay options are also available.

If no time slots are visible, this means there are no current openings available. Because each client holds a recurring slot, availability is limited.

You are more than welcome to join the waitlist to be contacted when an opening becomes available.

If adjustments are needed, flexibility will be offered when possible. However, because all sessions are reserved as ongoing slots, changes depend on current availability.

Yes, we offer a waitlist.
If no appointments are currently available, joining the waitlist is a great option. Openings are limited due to the ongoing, recurring nature of sessions, but as availability changes, I am able to reach out when a time becomes available that aligns with your schedule. Clients on the waitlist are prioritized for new openings, ensuring you have early access as soon as space becomes available. 

Yes, Aligned Wellness offers supplemental clinical supervision for pre-licensed clinicians seeking additional support in their professional development.

Supplemental supervision is intended to enhance and support your primary supervision experience, not replace it. This space provides additional guidance, perspective, and skill-building alongside your required supervisory relationship.

Supervision is ideal for pre-licensed clinicians (such as LPC Associates) who are looking for additional support with clinical work, case conceptualization, and professional growth—particularly when working with anxiety, trauma, and diverse populations.

Supervision may include:

• Trauma-informed care and treatment planning 
• Culturally responsive and anti-oppressive practice 
• Documentation, billing, and ethical standards 
• Case consultation and clinical decision-making 
• Therapist self-awareness, boundaries, and burnout prevention 

In Connecticut, clinicians may obtain supervision from more than one qualified supervisor, as long as all supervision meets state requirements. 

Supplemental supervision at Aligned Wellness is designed to support meaningful clinical growth and increased confidence in practice. Many clinicians find that additional support allows them to move through their required hours with greater clarity and consistency. While timelines for licensure are ultimately determined by state requirements, this space is intentionally structured to help clinicians feel more prepared, supported, and grounded in their work.

Clinicians are encouraged to confirm that all supervision aligns with Connecticut licensure standards.

Yes, supervision services are fee-based. Rates and structure will be discussed during the consultation process.

You can submit an inquiry through the website or contact Aligned Wellness directly (lesliew@alignedwellnessct.com) to schedule a consultation. From there, we’ll determine if supervision is a good fit.
