How are counseling sessions conducted?
Counseling session are conducted in a more consistent manner to address crisis and/or traumatic and/or more pressing issues. Counseling often takes more time due to the gravity of the topic at hand and these sessions range from 50-60 minutes. Sliding scale is listed on contact page.
What commitment is required?
The commitment is based on your personal preference. Counseling can take years before a person feels and sees true progress or it can take a few sessions. Therapy is meant to be picked up at anytime in life.
What results can I expect from therapy?
Therapy relies on you, the client. Results happen depending on the mindset you bring to session. It is ok to show up to session not ready or having a bad day. It is ok for results to take time or for results to be variable. You are human.
How much does this cost?
I offer a sliding scale that is based your annual income. My services are meant to be affordable because I believe mental health is too important to not be accessible for all. If you need to negotiate a different rate than shown, please know it never hurts to ask even if I can’t oblige to your request. I am always open for discussion and do offer pro-bono spaces for a limited time constraint.
Can I see you for individual and then move to couples?
No this is not an option that I find ethical. Due to unconscious bias or conscious bias that is established while working closely with one partner, it can cause conflict to see you as a couple and also can make your partner feel left out. I will happily refer you to another couples counselor.
Will you ever take insurance?
Please see the Contact and Cost tab for information as to why I do not accept insurance and function as a sliding scale/out of pocket practice.
Are you hiring or supervising?
No, Hunting for Hope is not eligible to supervise other candidates nor do we accept interns or employees at this time.
