Employee Benefits for Therapy and Counseling Practices in Evanston, Northbrook and the North Shore
Group health, dental, vision and disability for the therapists and staff at North Shore therapy and counseling practices, from a local, independent agency in Skokie.
The Insurance People is a local, independent agency on Old Orchard Road in Skokie, and we set up group health insurance and employee benefits for therapy and counseling practices across the North Shore, from Evanston and Skokie to Wilmette, Winnetka, Glenview, Northbrook, Deerfield and Highland Park. We review your team's doctors and medications, walk everyone through their options at open enrollment, and stay with you year-round. Unlike many agencies, all of our services are complimentary.

Therapy Practices on the North Shore
We work closely with hundreds of mental health providers and practices across Illinois to help them access benefits for their employees. Whether your practice has a few therapists or a few dozen, we'll put together options that fit your team and your budget.

Checking Doctors and Hospitals Before You Switch
Switching your practice's plan shouldn't mean your therapists lose their doctors. The North Shore's hospitals include Endeavor Health's Evanston, Glenbrook, Highland Park, and Skokie hospitals. Before your practice picks or switches a plan, we check that your team's doctors, hospitals, and medications are in-network, so there aren't any surprises after enrollment.
If a new plan changes how someone's medication is covered, we'll help your employee sort it out with the carrier.
HSA Plans for Your Team
If your practice offers a high deductible health plan, your therapists and staff can set aside pre-tax money in a Health Savings Account. For 2027, the IRS limits are $4,500 for self-only coverage and $9,000 for family coverage, on plans with a deductible of at least $1,750 for self-only and $3,500 for family coverage (IRS Rev. Proc. 2026-24). We'll tell you which plans qualify. Check out our HSA Adjustments for 2027 post for the full chart.
Open Enrollment for Your Team
At open enrollment, we talk your employees through their plan designs and explain how each part of their plan works, both one-on-one and via group meetings. Your team signs up through Employee Navigator, the online enrollment platform we offer our clients free as part of our service, and we're there for hands-on troubleshooting along the way.
Questions We Hear From North Shore Practices
- What happens if our agent is retiring?
- Your plan stays in place. We'll walk you through moving it to us, and from then on you'll have a team that answers your calls and emails year-round.
- Is there a minimum number of employees?
- Businesses with 1 to 50 folks can access small group coverage options, and a small counseling practice has access to a lot of the same plans a larger one does too.
