FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can counseling help me?

Counseling provides the opportunity to talk through personal issues to gain a different perspective, deepen understanding, and develop tools for coping with various problems. If you are wrestling with an emotional or behavioral issue, counseling can help you find relief and understanding.

What is Catholic counseling?

Catholic counseling integrates faith into the counseling process. Counsel will always be based on affirming the dignity and worth of every human being. Your counselor will uphold tenets of the Catholic faith and will not contradict the Catholic Church. By inviting the power of the Trinity into the counseling process, true, lasting healing from the power of Christ is found. To receive Solace & Healing Counseling LLC services, you do not have to be Catholic. Your counselor will respect the personal beliefs and values you bring to the counseling process.

How long can I expect to come to therapy?

There is no definitive answer to this question. Though it's safe to say more than a session or two is necessary to make any headway on what brings someone in, some individuals find a few sessions are sufficient, while others choose to continue long-term (over 20 sessions).

Often, individuals continue to work with me through additional items as they arise, while others choose to address additional items outside of the therapeutic context. There isn't necessarily a correct answer, but we can collaborate to help you make the ultimate choice.

What is the advantage of using self-pay?

To remain focused on serving the whole person, to provide better care, and to help maintain the privacy of our patients, Solace & Healing Counseling does offer self-pay. Insurance companies often require a greater focus on symptoms and problems and place limitations on the scope and length of therapy. We believe these restrictions negatively impact our ability to carry out our mission. We desire to serve the whole person and maintain the freedom to collaborate with our clients regarding the goals and duration of therapy.

I want to get the most out of therapy. What can I do to help?

Your active participation, dedication, and commitment will be crucial to your success. After all, we only see each other for one session a week. The work you do outside our sessions will help you see personal growth and development.
