FAQs

Who is counseling for?

We believe that everyone can benefit from some counseling. Some of us have been battling depression and anxiety for as long as we can remember. Some are going through a difficult life transition or grieving a significant loss. Others are battling loneliness in our jobs, families or in the unique challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. Whether you have been struggling with mental illness all your life or desire an external perspective on life’s challenges, we are here to help! Contact us today to set up an appointment.

What is Christian Counseling? How is it different from other forms of counseling?

When we say Christian counseling, we are acknowledging that our faith in God affects every aspect of our worldview and will necessarily inform the way that we understand and address mental health and relational issues. If you are a Christian, it may be encouraging to know that your therapist shares these beliefs with you. If you are not a Christian, please keep in mind that we are never seeking to impose our beliefs on others. We utilize a range of empirically-validated counseling techniques, including Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Family Systems theory, and Trauma-informed Care. We believe that the support and growth characteristic of the counseling can be experienced in a range of appropriate settings, despite varying perspectives on spirituality and faith.

Do you accept my insurance?

Some of our clinicians are in-network with Anthem and Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. For all other insurance plans and non-participating providers, services will be provided on an out-of-network basis. You may be able to receive partial reimbursement from your insurance company for out-of-network benefits. We are happy to provide you with an appropriate invoice for submission to your insurance company. Please inquire for more information about what services will be covered by your insurance.

Update: Effective July 1st, 2024, we will no longer be accepting insurance for couples or family counseling services. These services typically do not meet the medical criteria requirements for insurance companies and are therefore no eligible for reimbursement from insurance companies. For more information about our rates, please see the our Fees and Policies page.
