Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if counseling is right for me?

People come to counseling for many reasons—stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, major life changes, or simply wanting personal growth. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stuck, talking with a therapist can help you gain clarity and support.

What can I expect in my first session?

Your first session is a conversation focused on understanding your goals and what brought you to therapy. We’ll review your background, discuss confidentiality, and begin to identify what support will be most helpful. It’s also an opportunity for you to see if we’re the right fit.

How long does counseling take?

Session frequency and duration vary depending on your needs and goals. Some people benefit from short-term, solution-focused therapy, while others prefer ongoing support. We can decide together what timeline makes sense for you.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes. Everything you share is confidential except in rare situations involving safety concerns or legal requirements. These limits will be fully explained before we begin.

Do you accept insurance?

Currently, we do not accept insurance. We do offer a superbill for you to submit to your insurance. Please check with your provider about your mental health benefits and reimbursements for private pay counseling services.

What are your rates for therapy?

Rates vary based on the type of service and session length but most sessions range from $150 for 50-minute individual sessions, $200 for 50-minute couples therapy. Sliding-scale options may be available for those with financial need and proof of income.

Do you offer online or virtual sessions?

Yes. Secure telehealth sessions are available for clients who live in Colorado and who prefer to meet from home or have busy schedules. Online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions for many concerns.

How do I choose the right counselor?

The most important factor is feeling comfortable and understood. Look for a therapist whose experience matches your needs and whose style feels like a good fit. I offer a brief consultation so you can decide with confidence.
