Common Questions

All Your Questions, Answered In One Place

What can I expect from online counseling?

Online counseling provides you with easy to access confidential therapy services.  Sessions are conducted from a HIPAA compliant platform that allows for secure virtual sessions.  Online therapy is very similar to in-person therapy in that some of the same techniques and interventions can be used online.  You'll be able to schedule your appointment, get appointment reminders, have access to asynchronous messaging, and make payments online. You have the opportunity to engage in therapy from where you feel most comfortable! It allows for convenience if you are a busy individual and don't have the opportunity to commute to your appointment. It is important to note that online counseling is not suited for individuals in crisis or facing a life threatening emergency.  If you feel you are in crisis, please call 911 or visit your nearest hospital. 

I have never been in counseling, is it normal to feel nervous or anxious?

Absolutely! A range of emotions can be felt when trying a new experience.  Counseling is no exception, and it can sometimes feel intimidating.  That can bring about feelings of worry, anxiousness, fear, and/or excitement. The counseling process allows for us to discuss events that you may consider to be traumatic or hurtful which could cause distress, anxiety, and even anger. I can walk you through this process and discuss these feelings more in depth during our session to help you feel more comfortable. However, with change comes discomfort, and part of the counseling process is to learn to be okay with not being okay.

What is the rate per session and payment options?

The cost of a 60 minute initial assessment (1st session) is $125. All following individual counseling sessions are $100 per 50-55 minute session. 30 minute sessions are available if suitable for your treatment needs.  I accept select insurance plans from Aetna, United Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Cigna, Oxford, and Oscar Health. Certain behavioral health plans are categorized as "carve-out" plans from an insurance agency that I am not contracted with to accept. Session rates using insurance plans vary depending on your specific plan. For detailed information regarding your specific insurance costs, it's advisable to reach out to your insurance representative directly. Upon providing your insurance card and date of birth, I can also offer an estimated cost for your sessions.   Medicare and Medicaid plans are not accepted at this time.

What do I need to do to start counseling?

At this time, I'm not accepting new clients.  If you'd like to join my waitlist please feel free to email me at wholeheartedpathcounseling@gmail.com to get more information and be added to the waitlist.

It's simple! Just press the Book Now link, and follow the prompts to schedule a complimentary 20 minute video consultation. The consultation provides us both with the opportunity to explore if this is the right fit and allows you to ask questions before you make an investment and commitment. All new client's must complete a free consultation with me before an intake/initial appointment can be scheduled.  It's important that this be thoughtful decision when choosing your therapist, so you'll never be pressured to make a decision during our consultation appointment.  If you choose to move forward with me during the consultation, we'll schedule an intake appointment.  Prior to our first session, you will need to complete a few forms to help me to get to know you better. Feel free to contact me via email, chat, or phone if you have any questions. I'd be happy to talk to you more to answer any of your questions or ease your concerns. .
