Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Accept Insurance?
We do not currently accept insurance payments.
Here’s Why: We believe people are complex creations reflecting the nature of our God and managed care often cannot accurately outline the nuances of each human by using diagnostic labels and prescribing treatment objectives. We would rather work together to give you the help you find best, including number of sessions and treatment objectives, as well as freedom from diagnostic labels. We enjoy spending more time directly assisting you by focusing on your case rather than providing justification to managed care for the treatment you are receiving. Our rates are competitive with many insurance copays and many of clients find relief in knowing their confidential information is not shared with a third party or recorded as a part of a permanent health record.
What Can I Expect in Counseling?
All clients can expect to be welcomed into a safe and confidential environment. In our initial meeting, you can expect us to review your rights as a client as well as how we work as counselors. Afterwards, we will ask you several questions, allowing us to further understand your presenting problem. Once we think have enough information, we will give you a small portion of feedback on what we hear, which will provide us the opportunity to formulate goals to pursue together in our relationship. As we move forward, meeting weekly or bi-monthly initially, you can expect to get more perspective on your current problem through the lens of your past, getting you oriented properly to your unique situation.
How Long Does Counseling Last?
Counseling sessions are typically 50 minutes per session unless circumstances for additional time are needed and planned in advance. The term of counseling varies from person to person, situation to situation. Some situations can call for as few as 6 to 12 sessions, and others may pursue counseling for an extended period of time to handle more in-depth issues.
What Does Counseling Cost?
Fees vary based upon the household income of each client. While many counselors would love to give our work away because we love helping people so much, we thankfully have good people that remind us that we have engaged in a great degree of training to become experts in our fields, not simply advice givers. Therefore, your fee assists with overhead costs and for time spent outside of the counseling session managing your case. Additionally, we encourage clients to see a fee as an investment in themselves that will hopefully provide them the life they truly desire.
What Hours Are you Available?
Our office hours can be found here. We see clients currently on Monday-Friday, though availability does vary from clinician to clinician. We do limit our appointment openings to focus our energy and efforts towards clients who are ready to engage the change process. We also pride ourselves on creating space for new clients and seeking to always have openings to get you in for an initial session quickly to start your work towards change! We work to return all inquiries within a 48 hour window with the exception of the weekend.
Do You Only See Christians?
No. We see clients from various faith perspectives and worldviews, however, we do want to be forthright in saying that our primary worldview is consistent that of Christianity.
