F.A.Q.
What will happen in my first session?
The first session of therapy will be an opportunity for you and the therapist to get to know each other. The therapist will learn about your background and what brings you into therapy, and you will learn about the therapist’s approach. Together, you will develop a plan for working together to address your goals.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you are struggling with something in your life and are looking for help, therapy may be right for you. Therapy can provide support and guidance as you work through difficult situations. If you are unsure if therapy is right for you, you can always schedule a consultation to speak with a therapist who can explore what your goals are and whether therapy is a fit for you.
Are sessions online or in-person?
We offer both in-person and online therapy. Online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as meeting in-person. We are happy to discuss what works for you during your initial consultation.
How will therapy help me?
Therapy can help you in many ways. It can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for dealing with difficult situations. It can also help you to develop new perspectives and understandings about yourself and your relationships. Ultimately, therapy can help you to feel better about yourself and your life.
How long will therapy last?
The length of therapy depends on your needs and goals. Some people benefit from short-term therapy, while others may need long-term support. You and your therapist will discuss what is right for you.
How often do I need to go to therapy?
The frequency of therapy sessions depends on your needs and goals. Some people benefit from weekly sessions, while others need less frequent meetings. You and your therapist will discuss what frequency of sessions is right for you.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Therapists are required by law to keep all information about their clients confidential. There are a few exceptions to this rule, such as if the therapist believes you are in danger of harming yourself or others. Your therapist will discuss this with you more in-depth during the intake process.
How much does therapy cost?
50-minute sessions are $150. Longer sessions are prorated and may be recommended for family and couples therapy sessions. Your therapist can discuss this with you in detail.
We also offer a sliding scale for those who demonstrate financial need.
Will my insurance cover therapy?
There is a possibility that your insurance will cover part or all of the cost of therapy. We are currently in network with:
- UHA
- HMSA
- HMAA
- Blue Cross
- Blue Shield
- Out of Network
- HMSA Quest
- United Healthcare
Can I talk about anything in therapy?
Yes. You can talk about anything in therapy that is important to you. The therapist will provide a safe, supportive, and confidential environment for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.
Do you provide faith-based counseling?
As a therapist, I understand that faith can be an important part of my clients’ lives. For some, their faith is what helps them to get through difficult times. As such, I am happy to incorporate a faith-based approach into therapy for those who desire it.
Who can benefit from therapy?
Anyone can benefit from therapy. People seek therapy for a wide variety of reasons, such as dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or managing stress. Therapy can be an effective way to address these and other issues.

Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the No Surprises Act (H.R. 133 – effective January 1, 2022), healthcare providers need to give clients or patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
Note: A Good Faith Estimate is for your awareness only and does not require immediate financial commitment or payment.
