Frequently Asked Questions
How much does counseling cost?
Initial 75-90 minute intake sessions are $100, and following 50 minute sessions are $75.
Is what I share in therapy confidential?
Absolutely. Everything that is shared in the therapy room is kept confidential. However, there are 4 exceptions where I am required to break confidentiality:
If you intend to harm yourself or someone else
Mandatory reporting responsibilities of abuse/neglect/dependency
Court order or subpoena from a judge
Per your request with a completed Release of Information form
Do you accept insurance?
My practice is contracted with Highlands Family Counseling, and we do not accept insurance, but are insurance-friendly and can provide you with a Superbill that you can turn into your insurance company for potential reimbursement for services.
What will the process look like?
Therapy looks different for everyone. However, there is a general process that takes place. The initial session includes time to get to know you, your background, history, presenting concerns, and goals you have for therapy. Then, we will take time to treatment plan, which means creating a plan together that works as a guide to help you meet your goals (and help me help you meet those goals). Over time, when and if you believe your goals are met and you have the skills to successfully move forward in life beyond therapy, that will be a good time for us to discuss closing out therapy for you.
Where will counseling take place?
I value your comfort and know each individual has different needs, thus I offer both in person and virtual sessions. If you choose to meet in person, my office is located in Fountain Inn. For virtual sessions (and all communication through technology), I use HIPAA compliant software.
What forms of payment do you accept?
My practice is contracted with Highlands Family Counseling, and we accept cash, check, credit card (all major cards accepted), and most HSA cards. You may wish to verify with your HSA provider that therapy services are covered.
What if I have more questions?
If you reach me, I will contact you within one business day to schedule a phone consultation at your convenience. Therapy can be an intimidating process, and I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
