Frequently asked questions
General
We offer appointments during the week and at various times throughout the day and evening. You and your therapist will decide on the best appointment times for you.
In-Person sessions are offered at our location in Decatur, GA and virtual sessions are offered through a HIPPA complaint platform for anyone residing in the state of GA.
The first session will be a process of getting to know you and what you are hoping to get out of counseling. You may share as much as you feel comfortable. (We recognize you are getting to know us too!) Your therapist will most likely ask you questions to help move the process along and gather relevant information. Toward the end of the second or third session, you and your therapist will make a plan to address your goals. We see this process as one of collaboration. It is normal that you may feel a little apprehensive about your first session if you have not been in therapy before. However, most clients report that they feel a great deal of relief at the end of their first session.
Rates vary depending on your therapist; ranging from $75-$175. Fees are based on a provider’s education, experience, credentials, and licensure level. Reduced rate slots are available based on financial need.
If finances are a factor for you, our counseling intern provides both in-office and telehealth counseling sessions at a significantly reduced rate . Our Counseling Interns are closely supervised by an in-house Clinical Supervisor, which means that you benefit from having multiple counselors whose time and expertise are applied to working with you. Counseling Interns are completing their Master’s degree and are up-to-date on the most relevant counseling theories and techniques. Contact us to schedule an appointment with one of our Counseling Interns.
We are out-of-network providers with insurance. Upon request, we can provide you with a Superbill that contains all required information to submit for reimbursement through out of network benefits.
Additionally, we have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you may choose to only have to pay your co-insurance for our sessions, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This can save you on average 70% upfront on our sessions. Thrizer will submit superbills on your behalf and assist with the out of network processing for you.
EMDR is an abbreviation for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. While we’ll never do anything in session with you that you’re not comfortable with, this incredible therapy technique has been proven to help you find relief from your most distressing and traumatic memories. During EMDR, we’re able to revisit these memories and help your brain to process and heal naturally from them.
