How many counseling sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on several factors, including but not limited to the goals for therapy, the severity of the issues encountered, and of course, the client’s willingness to actively participate.

What if I have to cancel my counseling session?

There is no charge for any session cancelled 24 or more hours prior to the scheduled time. However, sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged the full rate.

Will my insurance company pay for counseling?

Many insurance plans reimburse for some portion of psychotherapy. Please direct questions about reimbursement amounts and timeliness to your insurance company.

Hope Counseling counselors are not contracted (in network, preferred provider) with any insurer. We will provide a receipt for the counseling service at the time of the appointment that may be used to submit for reimbursements upon request. Please note that we do not complete any insurance paperwork.

Why Don’t You Accept Insurance?

Reason we do not direct bill for insurance:

Choice: YOU and your therapist are in charge of goals, length of treatment, obtain counseling from specialized counselors vs just any therapist from an insurance company.

Insurance/Deductibles: We will provide a receipt for the counseling service at the time of the appointment that may be used to submit for reimbursements upon request. Many of our clients have high deductibles which they pay out of pocket anyway and want to choose a counselor for themselves with our expertise vs the insurance company choosing.

Privacy: Insurance requires diagnosis to authorize treatment. These negative labels can follow a client through life and interfere with insurability later. Your files are NOT shared with anyone.
