How can therapy help?

Therapy can help in a variety of ways. Some individuals initiate therapy for emotional support to adjust everyday challenges, to address a crisis, or to explore issues related to personal growth and development. Therapy is meant to be a safe, neutral space where clients can address personal concerns and receive feedback in a non-judgmental environment. To be truly effective, clients must commit to the process, participate with an open mind, and speak candidly during sessions.

What happens during the first session?

During the first session, we begin exploring the issues that led you to seek counseling. This intake session is longer than typical sessions, approximately 75-90 minutes. We discuss your goals in counseling and develop an initial treatment plan.

How long does treatment last?

Every person’s journey in counseling is unique to their goals and needs. Considering my therapeutic approaches, clients usually attend approximately 20 sessions. This is not a hard number as some clients may require more or less time.

What is the fee for therapy sessions?

The current fees are $130 for an individual session (45 minutes), $180 for couples (45 minutes).

Do you accept insurance?

Yes! At this time we accept BlueCross BlueShield of Texas, Aetna, United Health Care, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, and Oxford Health Plans.

When is payment expected?

Payment for therapy services is due at the conclusion of every session. Clients must maintain a valid card on file during the course of treatment.

What is the cancellation policy?

Twenty-four (24) hour notice of session cancellation is required to avoid late fees. Failure to cancel within 24 hours will result in a $50 late cancellation fee. Repeated cancellation without notice may result in termination.

Is therapy confidential?

Generally speaking, all communication between you and your therapist is confidential. Clients must consent in order for your therapist to provide information about your treatment. There are some exceptions to this rule. If the therapist reasonably suspects child abuse or elder abuse the therapist is obligated by law to report to the authorities. Additionally, if a therapist reasonably believes that the client is a threat to his/her/themselves or others the therapist is obligated by law to report this information to the authorities.
