Can I schedule time for an initial consultation and how much will it cost?

Yes, a consultation appointment is at the same fee as a counseling session. A consultation is often a one time appointment to receive clarification for issues and see whether the counselor can help answer person’s questions.

What are your fees?

We work on a sliding scale, based on family income. The range of the sliding scale is $40 - $100 per 55 minute session. The sliding scale is designed to help people of different income levels to be able to receive help. You can find details of this scale by clicking on the words “Financial Policy”.  Then click on the words “Forms and Rates.” Please talk to us if you think you cannot afford the minimum payment.

Do you provide evening hours?

Yes, we provide evening hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The last appointment being from 7:00 – 8:00 PM. On Friday the last appointment is from 6:00 – 7:00.  Some of the counselors will also do limited Saturday morning appointments.

Do you take insurance?

We take whatever insurance will pay for our services. But in general insurance companies will not pay, because we are a Christian counseling center (and not a medical or secular mental health facility).  In order to keep our counseling fees as low as possible, we do not process insurance forms. If requested, we will give you a receipt for the fees you have paid and / or a written diagnosis. Some insurance companies will refund you. Talk to us if you think you can not afford our counseling. We will try to find ways to help.

Do you counsel people that are not Christians?

Yes, we often counsel people who are not Christians. We counsel all those who request our services. We are a biblically based counseling center and all the Counselors who are employed here are Christians; and therefore the advice that is given will come from a Christian perspective.
