Therapy Questions & Resources

FAQs

Therapy at Courageous Steps Counseling isn’t just about fixing problems; it’s about discovering your strengths, setting goals, and building a life you love. It’s like leveling up your character in the game of life – more skills, better stats, and a whole lot more fun.

Payment & Insurance

I am solely a private pay therapist. I can provide receipts for you to send to your insurance company so that payments can go towards deductibles, and you may receive reimbursement based on your particular plan.
This allows for more privacy for clients, and less interference from insurance company rules and regulations.

I adjust the cost of session if I have current clients experiencing financial hardship due to job loss, BIPOC clients, full time college students, and clients that are in full time ministry positions. I have a limited amount of clients I am able to slide down for at any given time. Please inquire if you think you may qualify.

$600 for individual intensives, 3 hours

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is a story group and how does it work?

Story Groups are small groups of people that will each bring one story of harm from childhood ages 4-18, read aloud to the group, and receive care from the group with professional facilitation. This can promote healing for trauma embedded in the nervous system and is backed by neuroscience.

What should I expect in my first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is an opportunity to meet your therapist, share your concerns, and discuss your therapy goals. You can expect to talk about your reasons for seeking therapy, your history, and what you hope to achieve.

What if I’m not sure what to talk about in therapy?

It’s normal to feel unsure about what to say in therapy. At Courageous Steps Counseling, we’re trained to create a comfortable and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Don’t worry about finding the perfect words; just be honest and open!
