Get Started
Getting started with therapy can feel overwhelming, and we’re here to make it simple. Our team will guide you through each step with care and clear communication so you can focus on what matters most supporting your child. Here’s how to get started when you’re ready to begin with The Caring Group.
Step 1: Request an Evaluation
Fill out our online Request Evaluation form using the button below. We’ll gather some basic information about your child and your insurance to get started.

Step 2: Prescription from Your Provider
We will need a prescription (script) from your child’s primary care provider on file. This can be faxed directly to our office at 618-607-0042. If your insurance plan requires authorization, we will guide you through that process.
Step 3: Insurance Review
A member of our team will contact you to review your insurance benefits and discuss any potential out-of-pocket costs.
Step 4: Scheduling
Your child will be matched with a therapist, and they will reach out to schedule the evaluation and first visit. Since therapists manage their own schedules, availability may vary.
Step 5: Intake Forms
Before your first visit, please complete the intake form using the button below.
If you prefer, you may download, print, and bring the completed forms along with your insurance card to your appointment.
