3. Do you offer in-person appointments?

At this time, all services are provided virtually. We hope to explore in-person counseling opportunities in the future. Please check back for updates as our practice grows.

Counseling can help adolescents and adults navigate a variety of emotional and life challenges, including:

• Anxiety and stress management

• Depression and mood concerns

• Self-esteem and personal development

• Emotional regulation and coping skills

• Life transitions and adjustment challenges

• Relationship and communication concerns

• Grief and loss

• Boundaries, self-care, and overall emotional wellness

Please contact us to determine whether our services are appropriate for your specific needs.

5. What can I expect during my first therapy session?

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know you, understand your concerns, discuss your goals, and begin developing a personalized treatment plan. We strive to create a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and understood.

6. How does virtual therapy work?

Virtual therapy takes place through a secure telehealth platform. You will need a reliable internet connection, a compatible device, and a private space where you can speak comfortably. Before your appointment, we will provide instructions for accessing your session.

7. Do you accept insurance?

Insurance acceptance depends on your specific plan, provider credentialing, and eligibility. Please contact Compassion Counseling and Behavioral Health Services LLC to inquire about current insurance options, verify coverage, and discuss private-pay arrangements.

8. What if I do not have insurance?

We welcome inquiries about private-pay services. Please contact us for information about session fees and available payment options before beginning treatment.

9. How long are therapy sessions?

Session lengths vary depending on the type of service and individual needs. Many individual therapy sessions last approximately 45–60 minutes. Your appointment length will be confirmed when scheduling.

10. How often should I attend therapy?

The frequency of counseling depends on your goals, concerns, clinical recommendations, and availability. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions, while others may benefit from a different schedule.

11. Is therapy confidential?

Your privacy is important to us. Information shared during counseling is generally confidential, subject to applicable laws and certain exceptions. For adolescent clients, confidentiality and parental or guardian access will be discussed in accordance with applicable laws and professional requirements.

12. Do parents or guardians need to be involved in adolescent therapy?

Parent or guardian involvement depends on the adolescent's age, applicable consent laws, clinical needs, and circumstances. We will explain consent, confidentiality, and the role of parents or guardians before treatment begins.

13. What if I am nervous about starting therapy?

It is completely normal to feel nervous about beginning counseling. You do not have to have everything figured out before your first session. We will work together at a pace that supports your comfort, personal goals, and emotional well-being.
