Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, therapy can be highly effective. Research shows that therapy helps many people improve their mental health, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and achieve personal goals. The effectiveness of therapy depends on several factors, including the therapist’s expertise, the therapeutic methods used, the therapeutic relationship and the individual’s willingness to engage in the process. At Light Within Counseling, we utilize evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Brainspotting and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address a variety of issues. Many clients experience significant improvements in their well-being and relationships through consistent and committed participation in therapy.

As a private pay therapist, I do not directly bill insurance companies. However, I can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

Therapy is a valuable investment in your mental health and overall well-being.

You are worth this investment in yourself.

Private pay therapy refers to therapy services that are paid for directly by the client, without involving insurance companies. This approach offers more flexibility in choosing a therapist and the type of therapy received. Clients can request a superbill to submit to their insurance company for potential reimbursement and work directly with their insurance company regarding coverage and reimbursement.

I accept health savings cards, credit cards, debit cards all via IVY (my payment system). I also accept cash, check, Zelle or Venmo payments for therapy services.

I may be able offer sliding scale fees based on a client’s income and ability to pay. It’s recommended to inquire about sliding scale options directly with the therapist.

The frequency of therapy sessions will depend on your individual needs and treatment goals. Most people start weekly or biweekly and step down as needed. We can discuss a schedule that works best for you during our initial consultation.

During the first session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any questions or concerns you may have. This session is also an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine if we are a good fit for working together. Your therapist will guide the conversation with thoughtful questions to gain a comprehensive understanding of your situation. Much like a visit to a medical doctor, this first session is about listening attentively to your needs to provide the most effective treatment.

Yes, therapy is confidential, and your privacy is protected by law. However, there are some exceptions to confidentiality, which are covered in my informed consent paperwork and will be discussed during our first session. These exceptions typically include situations involving harm to yourself or others, abuse or neglect of a child, elderly, or dependent adult, and court orders. If you have questions or concerns regarding this, we can discuss it during our first session.

Once you’ve reached out to us via phone or email, we’ll provide you with the necessary intake paperwork, which we ask you to complete before your first session to ensure a smooth start to your therapeutic journey. After our initial contact, I will send you a follow up email with instructions on how to access the intake paperwork, how to handle payment for the session, my office address, and more.

You can schedule an appointment by contacting me directly via email (info@lightwithinlmft.org), text or call (916-990-1214). I will do my best to accommodate your scheduling preferences if I have the availability in my schedule.
