Frequently Asked Questions

1.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions will vary from client to client based on the goals you identify and the circumstances you are facing. In the first session, we will discuss your goals and determine the best treatment option for you.

2.

Do you accept insurance?

We are not participating with any insurance plans. If you have out of network benefits, we can provide you with a statement for reimbursement which you can submit to your insurance plan. Contact your insurance company to find out your out-of-network benefits for outpatient counseling services.

3.

What is your policy on confidentiality?

We cannot release or discuss any identifiable information shared in counseling sessions without your written permission. Exceptions to confidentiality are limited to those situations in which we suspect child abuse, or if you report the intention to harm yourself or someone else. We may also have to release information in the event records are subpoenaed by a judge.

4.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, check, American Express, Mastercard, Visa, and Discover cards. You may also use your HSA or FSA funds. Payment is due at the time of service.

5.

How do I get started?

You may either call the office or send an email to schedule your first appointment. If you are planning to use your insurance, call your insurance company to determine your benefits for behavioral health services.

6.

How long do sessions last?

Typical individual sessions are 45-50 minutes long. Couples and family sessions are usually 80-90 minutes. These can vary based on the needs of the individual/couple/family.

7.

How often are sessions scheduled?

We typically meet with clients once a week. Clients in crisis may need to meet twice a week; other clients may prefer to meet biweekly. The frequency of sessions is based on each situation and can be adjusted as appropriate.

8.

Does it mean I'm crazy if I seek counseling?

Many "normal" people seek counseling to get help dealing with a wide range of challenges. Some of these challenges include relationship issues, life stressors, career changes, developmental issues, mood disorders, and anxiety. Seeking counseling does not mean you are crazy.

9.

I'm interested in marriage counseling, but my spouse does not want to come. Can I come alone?

It is not uncommon for one partner to be ready for counseling before the other partner. Change can occur in the relationship even when only one partner chooses to make use of counseling. Sometimes, the other partner will decide to come in later.

Many times, making the decision to get counseling is the first step to solving the problem and improving your situation.
