Frequently Asked Questions

How long are the sessions?

Sessions are 50–55 minutes long.

What should I expect from my first session?

It’s common to feel nervous before your first session. We aim to help you feel at ease right away. In this first meeting, we’ll explore your reasons for seeking counseling, how issues are impacting your life and relationships, and relevant history. We’ll then work together to establish meaningful goals, track growth, and celebrate your progress along the way.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes. In accordance with HIPAA, all shared information is private and secure. The only exceptions involve suspected child or elder abuse, or if there's a risk of harm to yourself or others. We'll review this in detail at your first session and answer any questions.

Can I bring someone with me?

Absolutely. Some individuals invite a partner or family member to join a session or two if it supports their growth and the therapy process.

Insurance Information

We submit all documentation to Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) on your behalf. If you use insurance, we’re required to share a diagnosis, which becomes part of your health record. Let us know if you have any concerns and we’ll walk through it together.

Complimentary Phone Consultation

We offer a free 10–15 minute consultation to understand your needs, answer any questions, and see if we’re the right fit. We’ll also go over payment or insurance options and send you intake paperwork to prepare for your first full session.
