FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS THERAPY?
Therapy is trust. You decide if your therapist feels safe so that you can divulge the pain inside, and they will walk through the mess with you to the other side. We all have education and experience that you can read in the bios, but at the core therapy is trusting your therapist to help you heal.
HOW DO WE GET STARTED?
Call the office at 469-210-9728 and we will reach out to you to complete a phone consultation to ensure I can meet your needs. Alternatively, you can also complete the contact form on the “Contact Us” page or email me at admin@theinstituteforhealing.com and I will reach out to you within three business days.
HOW LONG DOES THERAPY TAKE? HOW LONG WILL I, MY CHILD, OR MY FAMILY BE IN COUNSELING?
The length of the therapeutic process varies with need. A number of factors impact this process including you/your child’s/your family’s motivation and the severity of the struggle for which you/your child/your family is presenting.
HOW MUCH DOES THERAPY COST?
Therapy fees vary based on licensure and experience but generally range from $70-$200 per individual session. They can vary based on the specific services you receive and can be influenced by a number of factors (modality, number of individuals involved for group/family counseling, school involvement/advocacy...etc.). Sliding scale options may be provided based on need and clinician availability. Please feel free to call for more information.
DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE?
Many mental health professionals do not join insurance panels for a number of reasons. For instance, the in-network filing process usually requires a significant breach of client confidentiality as mental health professionals are often required to submit an official client diagnosis, ongoing progress reports, and treatment plans. Some of our providers will provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance company for out of network reimbursement, but you should be aware that doing so could require additional submission of confidential information (with written consent to release) to approve your claim, and without certain diagnoses, your claim might not be approved.
HOW LONG ARE SESSIONS?
Although session length varies by need, typically sessions are approximately 50 minutes for adults and 45 minutes for children. However, for young children, the sessions will likely be shorter, and for families, sessions may be longer than 50 minutes.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING MY FIRST SESSION?
Our initial appointment will be our intake appointment, which means that you will have the opportunity to get to know your therapist and explore what is bringing you/your child/your family in for counseling. Make sure to bring all necessary paperwork, including custody paperwork if applicable.
