There are no silly questions when it comes to starting therapy.

That's completely normal.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if it's your first time or you've had a difficult experience in the past. Most people walk into their first session feeling at least a little nervous.

You don't have to impress me, know exactly what to say, or share everything on day one. We'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Then you cry.

Seriously.

There isn't a "right" way to do therapy. Some people cry in their first session. Others don't cry for months. Some never do.

Emotions are welcome here, whatever they look like.

Not exactly.

Therapy isn't about someone else making your decisions for you.

I'll ask questions, offer perspective, help you notice patterns, and give you tools to navigate challenges, but ultimately my goal is to help you trust yourself and make decisions that align with your values.

Yes.

I am committed to creating an affirming, respectful, and welcoming environment for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I wholeheartedly believe everyone deserves a place where they feel safe to be themselves.

There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer.

Some people come for a handful of sessions to work through a specific challenge. Others choose longer-term therapy to explore deeper patterns and continue growing over time.

I'll regularly check in about your goals and adjust our work together as your needs change.

Your first appointment is about getting to know each other.

We'll talk about what's been bringing you to therapy, discuss your goals, and answer any questions you have about the process. By the end of the session, you'll have a better understanding of what working together might look like.

It depends on your goals and what's going on in your life.

Many clients begin with weekly sessions to build momentum, then gradually move to every other week or monthly as they begin feeling more confident and supported.

However, I will do whatever best fits your needs and I'll regularly check in and adjust together based on what feels most helpful.

No, Wild Blue Counseling is a private-pay practice and does not bill insurance directly.

Many clients choose private pay because it offers greater privacy, flexibility, and allows therapy to be guided by your needs rather than insurance requirements. If you have out-of-network benefits, I’m happy to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Your first appointment is a 60-minute intake session and is $130.

Most follow-up appointments are approximately 45 minutes and are $100, with longer sessions available when clinically appropriate.

I ask for at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.

Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours notice, as well as missed appointments, will be charged the full session fee. This policy helps ensure appointment times remain available for clients who are waiting for care.

I understand that true emergencies happen and will always take extenuating circumstances into consideration.

I’m happy to help.
