Question 1

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

No. Guided Journey Counseling is a private-pay practice and does not bill insurance directly.Working outside of insurance allows therapy to remain focused on your needs rather than the limitations of an insurance company.  It also provides greater privacy, flexibility, and freedom in determining the length and direction of treatment.If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, I'm happy to provide a superbill that you can submit for possible reimbursement.

Question 2

What are out-of-network benefits?

Accepted Answer

Many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits, which may reimburse a portion of your therapy costs even if your therapist is not part of your insurance network.Coverage varies by plan. If you're unsure whether your policy includes out-of-network benefits, I recommend contacting your insurance provider before your consultation.

Question 3

What forms of payment do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Guided Journey Counseling accepts all major credit cards, HSA/FSA cards, cash, and checks.Payment is due at the time of each session.

Question 4

How do I schedule my first appointment?

Accepted Answer

The first step is scheduling a complimentary 15-minute consultation.This gives us an opportunity to briefly discuss what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether we're a good fit for working together.If we decide to move forward, we'll schedule your first appointment and you'll receive all necessary paperwork electronically before your session.

Question 5

What should I expect during my first therapy session?

Accepted Answer

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another.We'll talk about what has brought you to therapy, the challenges you're currently facing, and what you hope will be different as a result of our work together. We'll also discuss your history, answer any questions you have, and begin developing a plan that reflects your goals.There is no expectation that you have everything figured out before you begin. The first session is simply the start of the conversation.

Question 6

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Many people begin therapy because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward.You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many clients seek counseling because they want healthier relationships, greater self-understanding, more effective ways of managing stress, or support navigating a significant life transition.If you're unsure whether therapy is the right next step, a complimentary consultation can help you determine whether working together feels like a good fit.
