- COMMON QUESTIONS
What can I expect during my first therapy session?
Your first session is really an intake session. Think of it as a “get to know you” vibe. We’ll take some time to set therapeutic goals together, which may include brief assessments for anxiety or depression, exploring your family history and current concerns.
But honestly! It’s also YOUR time to feel my energy. Therapy only works when you feel safe and comfortable with your therapist. So this is your opportunity to decide if we’re a good fit and if you want to move forward.
No pressure. No judgment. Just an honest conversation about where you are and where you want to go.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Therapy can be helpful for anyone who wants support, personal growth, or a better understanding of themselves. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed, therapy provides a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions.
Do you offer virtual therapy sessions?
Yes. Virtual therapy is available for clients who prefer the convenience and flexibility of meeting from their own comfortable space. Telehealth sessions provide a secure and supportive way to continue your therapy journey.
How long are therapy sessions?
Individual therapy sessions are typically 60 minutes. Couples counseling sessions are typically 90 minutes to allow enough time to explore concerns and work toward meaningful progress.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. Journey to Peace Counseling Services accepts several insurance providers, including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Curative, Oscar, Optum, Surest, UMR, and United Healthcare.
If you are unsure about your coverage, feel free to reach out and we can help you understand your options.
What if I do not have insurance?
Self-pay options are available for clients who prefer not to use insurance. Limited sliding scale options may also be available to help make therapy more accessible.
Please contact me to discuss your situation and available options.
Is everything I share in therapy confidential?
Yes. Your privacy and confidentiality are extremely important. Information shared during therapy sessions is kept private according to professional ethical standards and applicable laws.
There are limited exceptions required by law, such as situations involving safety concerns.
