Why monthly membership plans?

Monthly membership plans are designed to save you money and provide a reliable structure for budgeting and planning your care. It offers a significant discount from self pay pricing throughout the region that typically runs 175-250 a session. Here, with the membership contract, you are able to secure a much lower rate, get a 50 dollar discount on the Intake fee and have concierge type access with touchpoints of contact up to 2 times a week via email or text for support. The Seed or Rooted level is required to begin and a 3 month contract for services is required for participation in the membership plans. After the initial 3 months, we will decide if you are ready to step down to either Rooted (biweekly) or Harvest (monthly maintenance). I do not offer any initial monthly session only membership rates and do not take appointments for monthly sessions Ala Carte unless you have completed a 3 month contract in Seed or Rooted prior. My experience has shown me that the monthly sessions don’t offer the support needed for maneuvering change but they to work for maintenance. Ala Cart Rates are also below. I believe in transparent pricing and trying to be fair to both you the client as well as cost of doing business and my time and training.

These memberships are available for all services including addiction counseling and psychotherapy (where licensed).

F.A.Q.’s

Why don’t you take insurance? The reason is simple. We don’t get paid the rates we charge, if at all. The paperwork and bureaucracy as well as limitations on providers who take insurance is overwhelming and does not provide the time or permissibility for certain types of care. Frequently, entire months worth of client sessions billed to insurance carriers, and even government funded reimbursement, are tossed on technicalities and we end up providing those services without pay— but YOU the consumer, has paid the insurance company.

Your monthly rates are still too high for me and I need help, like you offer. What can I do? I am exploring offering group sessions that would lower the rate for all those who attend the group. While it is not 1:1 care, I’m exploring ways to be creative with fees and accessibility to folks in this economy. We all need each other.

What if I need detox or rehab? While I can’t comment on every scenario, a resources page can help connect you to providers that offer that. Note they typically do take insurance, Medicaid and Medicare. I am happy to see you after this initial process. Please do not attempt alcohol detox on your own. It can be life threatening and should be monitored in many circumstances.

I’ve been sober for years/months and I want to talk to someone about things for whatever reason and see how natural health and music/art can help me maintain my sobriety. Do you do that? Absolutely! In fact, that is a large population of who I serve. Life keeps life-ing and we continually need support as human beings.

I don’t know if I have a problem with substances/gaming/food/relationship loops, but I’m worried about it. Could I book a session? yes. This is how we start.

I am going through an end of life process with a parent, partner, child, friend or someone close to me has recently passed and I am interested in ceremonial processes honoring their life and grief companioning. Are you available for that? Absolutely.

I feel really lost and I don’t want therapy but I feel the need for some spiritual connection and companioning or guidance that’s non-judgmental and I am also interested in using the arts to do this. Is that a possibility? Absolutely. We can even explore the other holistic offerings too if you like.

What states do you offer addiction counseling in? and why don’t you offer psychotherapy in all those states? I am licensed in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Vermont for addiction counseling. I am credentialed for psychotherapy in Colorado and Vermont only. All states are different in their credentialing and licensing of both addiction counselors and psychotherapists. They are two different areas. One is substance abuse and the other is clinical mental health.

Do you do couples therapy? No, I do not.

Do you offer in person services? Not at this time.

Can I do my session via texting? No. I do not offer texting sessions. I require face visible Telehealth via a HIPAA compliant, secure provider for all Telehealth services.

Can I have my session on the phone, talking, but not face visible? There may be times when this would be allowed, but my general rule for sessions is to require seeing you face to face as it verifies identity, we can connect better through facial expressions or clarify if we need, and in general it’s a better way for me to see how you’re doing.

I’ve never been to therapy or any of this natural health stuff before. That’s fine! I have had many clients like you! I am here to answer any questions and be a supportive presence.
