Many people seek counseling when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, stressed, anxious, depressed, or are struggling with relationships, grief, life transitions, or other challenges. You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Counseling can provide support, insight, and practical tools for navigating life’s difficulties.

Your first session is an opportunity to get to know your therapist, discuss your concerns, and talk about your goals for counseling. Your therapist will gather information about your history, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve through therapy.

The frequency of counseling depends on your goals and needs. Many clients begin with weekly sessions and adjust over time as progress is made. Your therapist will work with you to develop a schedule that fits your situation.

Every person’s situation is different. Some clients benefit from short-term counseling focused on a specific concern, while others choose longer-term therapy for ongoing support and personal growth.

Foundations Counseling will accept several insurance policies for individual counseling. Before your first appointment, you should check with your insurance company to determine your deductible, co-pay and possible session limits. 

Accepted insurance policies include Aetna, All Savers, Ambetter Superior Health, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Magellan, Behavioral Health Systems, Cigna/Evernorth, Friday, Humana, Surest, UMR, Medicare, and United Health Care. 

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

Yes. We offer private-pay counseling services for clients who prefer not to use insurance or whose insurance may not cover counseling services.

If you do not have insurance or Foundations is out of network for you, the cost of the initial individual session is $185; subsequent sessions are $165. 

*Note: If you are seeking premarital, marriage, couples or family counseling, these services are not submitted to insurance as billable and would be processed as private pay. For these services, the intake session will be 90 minutes and cost $215. Follow up sessions are $165 for 50 min and $215 for 90 minutes sessions. Payment is due at the time of session and will be charged to the credit/debit card on file.
