Questions We Hear Often

How do I get started with counseling in Irmo?

Call our office to schedule an initial consultation. We'll discuss your needs, answer insurance questions, and find an appointment time that works for you. Many clients are seen within 1–2 weeks.

Does my insurance cover counseling services?

Many major insurance plans cover mental health services. We can verify your coverage before your first appointment. Those without insurance have options—ask about sliding scale fees.

What if I'm not sure I need therapy?

The initial session is for you to learn about our approach and decide if it's a fit. No pressure. Many clients find clarity just by talking things through with a neutral, trained listener.

How long does counseling typically last?

It depends on your goals and what you're working through. Some people benefit from brief, focused therapy (6–8 weeks), while others prefer longer-term support. We adjust based on your needs and progress.

Is everything confidential?

Yes. Counselor-client conversations are legally protected. We follow strict privacy rules. The only exceptions are safety concerns (harm to self or others) required by law.

Can we talk about a specific concern at our first meeting?

Absolutely. Your first session is partly about getting to know you and your situation. We start building trust and direction right away—no need to wait.
