What is counseling?

Counseling is trust. You decide if I feel safe so that you can divulge the pain inside, and I walk through the mess with you to the other side. I have education and experience that you can read in my bio but at the core therapy is trusting me to help you heal.

​

How do we get started?

Call the office at (469) 708-7650 and I will reach out to you to complete a phone consultation to ensure I can meet your needs. Alternatively, you can also complete the contact form on the “Contact Us” page or email me at jenny@counselingnest.com and I will reach out to you within three business days.

​

How long does therapy take? How long will I, or my child or family, be in counseling?

The length of the therapeutic process varies with need. A number of factors impact this process including you/your child’s/your family’s motivation and the severity of the struggle for which you/your child/your family is presenting.

​

How much does counseling cost?

Counseling fees are $175 per individual session. They can vary based on the specific services you receive and can be influenced by a number of factors (modality, number of individuals involved for group/family counseling, school involvement/advocacy...etc.). Sliding scale options can be provided based on need and clinician availability. Please feel free to call for more information.

​

Do you take insurance?

Many mental health professionals do not join insurance panels for a number of reasons. For instance, the in-network filing process usually requires a significant breach of client confidentiality as mental health professionals are often required to submit an official client diagnosis, ongoing progress reports, and treatment plans. Although, I have decided not to join insurance panels at this time, upon request I will provide you with a receipt for services that includes all necessary information required to file for reimbursement with your insurance carrier.

​

How long are sessions?

Although session length varies by need, typically sessions are approximately 50 minutes for adults and 45 minutes for children. However, for young children, the sessions will likely be shorter and for families, sessions may be longer than 50 minutes.

​

What can I expect during my first session?

Our initial appointment will be our intake appointment, which means that you will have the opportunity to get to know your therapist and explore what is bringing you/your child/your family in for counseling. Make sure to bring all necessary paperwork, including custody paperwork if applicable
