Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect during my first therapy session?
Our primary goal during your first session is to help you feel comfortable and heard. We want to understand what you are seeking support for and help set goals for our work together. We respect that not everyone wants to put all of their feelings and thoughts out there to someone they just met and won’t ask you to share anything you aren’t comfortable with.
How much time do I need to spend on therapy sessions?
A typical session is about 50 minutes long. If you and your therapist feel longer sessions are best for you, we can discuss schedule longer sessions. Our offices are easily accessed on the south side of Columbia, MO, or we can set up video visits to allow you better access to your therapy sessions.
How do I know this is the right therapist for me?
We know that finding the right fit is an important part of therapy. If you feel like your therapist understands your concerns, you feel comfortable being open and honest with them, and you feel respected during sessions then you are on the right track! Take a look at our team of therapists here to see who may be a good fit for you.
How often will I need to attend therapy?
Every person is different. Some benefit from weekly sessions, while other clients see us monthly or just as needed as they move through different stages and seasons of their lives. If you’re needing daily access to a therapist, we may not be the right fit for you and can help refer you to a setting with this level of support.
How does billing work?
Sessions are billed the day of. We do not accept insurance (here’s why). However, we do accept HSA cards, PAS EAP, and major debit/credit cards. If you have other billing needs, feel free to give us a call to further discuss your needs.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?Determining if therapy is right for you is a personal decision that depends on your individual needs and circumstances. However, therapy can be beneficial for anyone who is experiencing difficulties in their life, whether they are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal growth and self-discovery.
If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to cope with life’s challenges on your own, therapy may provide you with the support and guidance you need to navigate these obstacles. Additionally, therapy can offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, free from judgment.
Ultimately, the decision to pursue therapy is yours to make, but it may be worth considering if you are looking for a way to improve your overall well-being, develop coping skills, and enhance your quality of life. If you’re unsure whether therapy is right for you, reaching out to a therapist for a consultation can help you explore your options and make an informed decision based on your unique needs and goals.
