Terms of Service
These terms describe how this website may be used and summarize the practice policies of Open to Healing Christian Counseling. Your full rights and responsibilities as a client are set out in the written Informed Consent agreement you receive before your first session; that agreement governs the counseling relationship itself.
Use of this website
The information on this site is provided for general education about counseling services. It does not create a therapist–client relationship, and it is not a substitute for professional diagnosis, treatment or medical advice. A counseling relationship begins only once you have scheduled and attended an appointment and completed the required intake paperwork.
Not for emergencies
This website, the appointment request form and voicemail are not monitored around the clock and must not be used for emergencies. If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call 911, or call or text 988 for free, confidential crisis support 24/7.
Sessions and fees
Session fees are listed below and on the Rates & Insurance page. Payment is due at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made.
- Individual Session (50 minutes) — $130
- Marriage / Couples Session (50 minutes) — $170
- Family Session (50 minutes) — $200
Cancellations and no-shows
If you are a no-show, or if you have not notified me at least 24 hours or more prior to your scheduled therapy appointment to cancel or reschedule, you will be required to pay the full session cost.
Insurance and out-of-network care
I am contracted with the insurance companies listed on the Rates & Insurance page. If you decide to see me, but I am out of network with your insurance, you will be emailed an invoice after each session and a superbill monthly, which will include a diagnosis for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement under your insurance's out-of-network benefits.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality and its legal exceptions are described in full in the Privacy Policy.
Third-party services
Scheduling, paperwork and telehealth sessions are provided through a secure third-party client portal, which has its own terms and privacy practices. Links to outside organizations on the Resources page are offered for convenience; this practice is not responsible for their content.
