Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical counseling or coaching session last?

Sessions are typically 50 minutes in length.

When should I start counseling?

If you’re on our website, that’s a good indicator that you are looking for help.

Many individuals spend years of their lives struggling with mental health issues, like anxiety, that not only negatively impact them, but everything around them: their careers, their friendships, and their marriage.

If you had a physical illness that doctors could treat, would you ask, “How long should I try to manage it before I really need to see a doctor?” or would you go into the office to have it treated?

Just like with our physical health issues, our mental health issues can be treated using well-studied and proven methods that we offer at Simplify Life. We encourage you to begin as soon as possible so you can not only deal with the issues you are struggling with but also be better on the other side of them.

What is the first session like?

In our first session together, we’ll look to get to know more about you and your goals for counseling. It’s very normal to feel apprehensive to share with a counselor for the first time, so we encourage you to share as much as you’re comfortable with – we understand that you’re getting to know us, too!

We like to think of this as a collaborative session. Your counselor will ask questions to guide the time and present a plan to reach your goals for counseling.

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Yes, we use a HIPAA-compliant platform so our sessions are secure. Sessions online last the same amount of time as in-person, so the fee is the same.

How often are sessions scheduled?

Depending on your needs, schedule, and finances, we typically meet weekly or every other week initially. We often suggest books and other resources between sessions to maximize growth during the time outside of therapy.

Ultimately, we are doing a good job when we are out of a job, so our goal is to help clients address needs, meet goals, and move forward.

Can I pick my counselor or coach?

Of course! You’re welcome to schedule a session with any counselor/coach, but we do want to ensure that each client is paired with the counselor or coach best suited to help with their specific needs.

Do you offer faith sensitive services?

Yes, our counselors and coaches are trained to integrate faith and psychology when desired by the client.

What is your cancellation policy?

Appointments that are not canceled before the 24-hour business day mark will incur the full session fee, except in the case of extreme emergencies, which can be discussed with your counselor.

How much is counseling and coaching?

Our fees vary based on each counselor’s experience and qualifications. We encourage you to reach out directly to the individual counselor for specific rates and questions.

Do you take insurance?

While insurance is not accepted for counseling or coaching services, invoices are offered for individuals to submit to their insurance providers.

We also partner with Mentaya, a service that helps simplify out-of-network claims, managing the reimbursement process for you.

It is suggested that individuals contact their insurance providers regarding reimbursements, since the percentage reimbursed often varies depending on the insurance provider and plan.
