Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We do accept payments through HSA and FSA.

Constantly Healthy Counseling & Coaching is a self-pay counseling practice because we believe you should be in control of your treatment—not your insurance. By not accepting insurance, we empower our clients to choose their therapist, determine the frequency of sessions, and select the therapeutic approach that best suits their needs.

Paying out of pocket ensures flexibility in your care, without the limitations of a diagnosis, pre-approved treatment plans, or a restricted number of sessions. Many insurance plans don’t cover individual, couples, or family therapy, and if they do, they require a diagnosis, which becomes part of your permanent health record. Insurance companies also have full access to your records.

With private pay, we work together to decide how often you attend therapy—not an insurance provider. Additionally, private pay allows for greater scheduling flexibility, so you can begin therapy sooner and address your concerns when you’re ready. Payment is based on the services you receive and will be discussed during your initial consultation, with fees due at the time of your session.

At Constantly Healthy Counseling & Coaching, we believe quality mental health care should be accessible. That’s why we offer a sliding scale to fit your financial needs, ensuring you receive the support you deserve. We also provide flexible payment plans to help make therapy more manageable.

Yes! Even counselors need someone to talk to or to work through their own troubles that arise in their lives.

A big part of successful therapy is feeling comfortable with your counselor, which may come over time. However, if after a few meetings, you’re just not clicking, you do have the choice to seek out another counselor.

To determine if you’re receiving the best care from your counselor, the National Alliance on Mental Illnesses recommends asking yourself the following questions. Answering no can help you make the decide to find a new counselor.

• Do they challenge you?
• Do they check-in with you?
• Do they guide you to your goals?
• Do they help you learn?
• Do they show acceptance and compassion?
• Do they treat you as an equal?

It depends. The American Psychological Association suggests considering therapy when something causes distress and interferes with some part of life, particularly when:

• Thinking about or coping with the issue takes up at least an hour each day
• The issue causes embarrassment or makes you want to avoid others
• The issue has caused your quality of life to decrease
• The issue has negatively affected school, work, or relationships
• You’ve made changes in your life or developed habits to cope with the issue

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, we invite you to reach out to our counseling team. We offer a free 15 minute consultation so that you can see if you think counseling would be the right fit for you.

Unfortunately, it is thought that only about 40% of people with mental health issues get help. Untreated mental health issues often get worse and may have other negative effects. Sometimes they lead to:

• Inability to work or go to school
• Difficulty in relationships or taking care of children
• Increased risk of health issues
• Hospitalization
• Suicide

If you find yourself unable to cope with your anxiety, counseling could be an excellent tool for you. During your counseling sessions we can help you learn new techniques to help you overcome or live with your anxiety.

Anyone looking to have an easier time navigating through life’s challenges could benefit from the techniques taught during counseling. These techniques can help everyone to better address their own circumstances. You don’t have to be in the middle of a crisis to desire to make your life better.

We all experience some kind of stress or anxiety at one point or another in our lives. Most of the time we are able to bounce back from it while other times it is beneficial to seek therapy. Symptoms of mental health issues present themselves in a variety of ways. The inability to sleep, focus, eat, and or work can all be signs that you need a little extra help coping with a struggle. Counseling can be the extra help and guidance you need to get you back on track in your life.

Depending on your situation and therapy goals, counseling can last a few sessions or several weeks or years. While you likely want to know how long it’s going to take to “feel better,” there’s no simple answer. It’s very individualized.

There are many reasons for you to want to receive therapy. A common misconception is that you have to have a crisis or stressful event to seek therapy, but it doesn’t always have to be because of that.

A possible reason could be that you just want to work on something about yourself or even to improve something. It is always okay to start therapy just because you think you may need a little extra help or just want someone to talk to. Seeking therapy is first and foremost you’re making a conscious effort to create a better life for yourself.

All reasons are valid and accepted and we applaud you for making that choice.
