1. How much does counseling cost?
At our practice, we believe in keeping pricing straightforward and transparent. We begin with a complimentary phone consultation. This initial chat is essential; it allows us to assess whether our services align with your unique needs. Sometimes, during this conversation, we may discover that a higher level of care is necessary—if that’s the case, we want to ensure you receive the right treatment without wasting your time or money on services that aren’t suitable.
If it turns out that we can help, the next step is an assessment. This in-depth session lasts about one and a half to two hours and costs $150. It’s a crucial part of our process, as it helps us identify your specific needs and the areas we’ll address in counseling. Following this, our rates are based on a sliding scale, starting at $75 per hour for low-income clients, with session frequency and duration tailored to your individual situation (proof of income required)
2. Do you accept insurance?
Navigating the world of healthcare can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to insurance. We want to ensure that your treatment remains focused on your unique needs, which is why we provide a super-bill for you to file your own claim. This approach allows you to take charge of your care without the interference of third-party insurance decisions. Insurance companies often base their coverage on rigid assessments and predefined diagnoses, which can limit the personalized care you truly deserve. We believe that every individual is much more than just a label or a diagnosis. Sometimes, the help you need doesn’t fit neatly into a box, and that’s perfectly okay. By accepting self-pay only, we prioritize your well-being over bureaucratic constraints. If cost is a concern, we’re more than willing to discuss shorter sessions, allowing you to spread out your investment while still receiving the support you need. Your care, your choice.
3. What is the cost for clinical supervision?
Welcome to our clinical supervision program for drug and alcohol counseling. We understand the complexities of this vital work, and we’re here to support you. Our individual supervision sessions are available at a competitive rate of $85 per hour. This one-on-one approach allows for personalized guidance tailored to your unique needs as a counselor.
For those looking to collaborate and learn from peers, we offer group supervision at just $60 per hour. This format not only fosters a sense of community but also encourages the sharing of diverse perspectives that can enhance your practice.
We also recognize that organizations may have specific needs, so corporate pricing is available upon request. Our goal is to provide accessible, high-quality supervision to help you excel in your counseling career. Join us in making a difference in the lives of those struggling with addiction. Together, we can create a supportive environment for growth and healing.
4. Are there any additional costs?
Welcome! Today, we’re discussing our point of contact, or POC, drug screening services. If you’re in need of a quick and reliable drug test, you’re in the right place. For just $30 per test, we provide instant results, ensuring you have the information you need right away. It’s important to note that you don’t have to be a current client to access this service.

The process is simple and efficient, allowing you to get tested without the hassle of lengthy wait times. Just come in, take the test, and receive your results on the spot. It’s that easy!

5. What are your payment options?
We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and cash.
1. What can I expect at my first visit?
When you come in for your initial visit, we recommend setting aside about one and a half to two hours. This time is essential as we’ll explore various aspects of your life, discussing what areas you feel could benefit from improvement. It’s a collaborative process where we’ll work together to create your initial treatment plan. This plan will outline specific goals and actionable methods you can implement right away to start addressing your concerns. Our primary aim is to foster a sense of hope and comfort, ensuring you feel safe and supported as we begin to build a therapeutic relationship. This relationship is crucial for your success in counseling. During our time together, we’ll delve into your experiences, identify challenges, and lay the groundwork for your journey toward personal growth and healing. Remember, this is a partnership, and your input is invaluable as we move forward together.
2. What do we talk about in counseling?
When it comes to personal growth, the journey is uniquely yours, shaped by your individual concerns and aspirations. The aim here is simple: to be better today than you were yesterday. This isn’t just about physical improvement; it encompasses your mental and emotional well-being too. For some, this means tackling substance use head-on, and we can explore strategies for that together. Whether your goal is complete sobriety or moderation, we’ll find a path that resonates with you. But maybe you’re feeling uncertain about your goals. That’s perfectly okay. Uncertainty can be a starting point for discovery. Counseling is a space dedicated to you—your experiences, your timeline, and your objectives. It’s about creating a personalized approach that aligns with where you are right now and where you aspire to be. Remember, every step you take, no matter how small, is a step toward a better version of yourself.
3. I struggle with depression, anxiety or another mental health issue. Will we address that too?
Substance use is not just about the substances themselves; it’s deeply intertwined with emotional and mental health challenges. When someone struggles with addiction, it often coexists with issues like trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, or anger management. This complexity means that effective treatment requires a holistic approach. As professionals trained in counseling, we understand that addressing substance use alone is insufficient. We must explore the underlying emotional struggles that fuel these behaviors. Our training equips us to tackle these intertwined issues, ensuring that we don’t just treat the symptoms but also the root causes. We’re committed to a comprehensive strategy that considers your entire mental health landscape. However, if we encounter concerns that fall outside our expertise, we prioritize your well-being by providing referrals to other skilled professionals who can help. Remember, seeking help is a brave step, and we’re here to support you in navigating this journey toward healing.
4. Do you offer family or couples’ counseling?
Addiction can be a daunting challenge, not just for the individual but for the entire family. Understanding this, we offer specialized family and couples’ coaching services designed to navigate these turbulent waters together. Our experienced team is here to provide guidance and support, fostering a safe space for open dialogue. We recognize that family dynamics play a crucial role in recovery, which is why we also conduct family information sessions. These sessions are tailored for those who wish to learn more about addiction, its effects, and most importantly, how to support their loved ones on this difficult journey. We delve into the complexities of addiction, equipping families with the tools they need to foster understanding and healing. By participating in these sessions, families can gain valuable insights, strengthen their bonds, and create an environment conducive to recovery. Together, we can break the cycle of addiction and build a healthier future.
