What will happen once I contact you?

When you contact me, whether it's via email or phone, I will respond to you in a timely manner. After our initial contact, we will work together to find a mutually convenient time for our session. I strive to offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate your availability and needs. I will guide you through the process and provide clear instructions.

Q: How long will I need to be in therapy?

The length of therapy varies for each person. We focus on leveraging your strengths and resources to create positive change efficiently. By actively engaging in the therapeutic process and setting realistic goals, many clients experience significant improvements within a focused timeframe. The duration of therapy will depend on your unique circumstances and goals, and we regularly assess progress to optimize our time together. Our goal is to provide effective and efficient therapy that respects your time and resources while achieving meaningful outcomes.

Q: Why do you operate on a private pay basis? How is it beneficial for therapy clients?

At Collaborative Hope Counseling, we operate on a private pay basis, which means we do not work directly with insurance companies. While this may initially seem unconventional, it actually offers advantages for therapy clients. Private pay allows us to have greater flexibility in designing your therapy experience. We can tailor the duration and frequency of sessions to your specific needs, without being limited by insurance-imposed restrictions. This means we can focus solely on what works best for you and your progress. While private pay may require an upfront investment, many clients find the benefits and value it brings to be well worth it. Your therapy journey becomes a collaborative partnership centered on your needs, privacy, and individualized growth.

What can I expect in our session?

We will begin each session by identifying and discussing your specific goals. This helps us maintain a clear focus on what you would like to achieve, allowing us to make the most of our time together. Throughout the session, we will work together collaboratively. I will actively listen to your concerns and guide you towards exploring solutions and strategies that leverage your strengths. We will identify practical steps you can take to address challenges and move closer to your desired outcomes.
