Frequently Asked Questions

Vibrant Counseling offers a variety of counseling services including individual therapy and couples therapy.

During your first session with Vibrant Counseling, I will start by reviewing confidentiality, cancellation policy, role expectations (for both you and me) and begin ask you questions to get to know you better. This will help establish your goals for therapy and what you want to achieve during the therapy process.

A counseling session with Vibrant Counseling typically lasts for 45 minutes or 20 minutes depending on what session length you select.  Initial intake sessions are always 45 minutes long.  

No, all counseling sessions are private pay only at the time of service.  Insurance companies have stringent requirements on diagnoses, session lengths, treatment plan development, etc. that significantly limited what counseling sessions can focus on.  By being private pay only, we can better focus sessions on your goals and offer a much more tailored approach to make sure you stay in control.  If you are interested in learning more, please check out this article https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/08/24/nx-s1-5028551/insurance-therapy-therapist-mental-health-coverage?fbclid=IwY2xjawO_vc5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFISFFOenQ1RUt4enNnZFZVc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHvr6Qc3de8zIm1bz2UndGHLD-y_hGDI-yFEC-kaBsaPiv-EoUQPQOqDK0Bnk_aem_K7SmeR50_19NAec7MhDVJA

I can provide a monthly statement of services that you can submit to your insurance company to seek reimbursement for services.  

I can take credit cards, debit cards, and FSA/HSA cards.  I will run them at the start of the session, so we have time to make any adjustments during our session.  

Virtual sessions offer the most freedom!  You can choose have your session at work (in a private location), at home, or even in your car (while parked-never driving!).  This flexibility helps when you are juggling demanding jobs, caregiving duties, and all the other competing demands that make attending therapy difficult.  It also helps you maintain your therapy schedule when you are sick, when weather is bad, or when commuting is just too much to get to a physical location.

I am happy to provide a "good faith estimate" based on the No Surprises Act.  It's an estimate based on your goals and the estimated timeline of treatment so that you can estimate how much the treatment will cost.  I am happy to adjust it throughout the course of treatment so that their are no surprises for you.
