COMMON QUERIES

You Ask - I Answer

I want to make sure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision about your mental health care. That's why I have put together a list of common FAQs about my services at Counseling Solutions. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I am here to support you on your mental health journey.

DO YOU OFFER SLIDING SCALE RATES?

I believe that everyone should have access to mental health services despite their ability to pay. I do offer a limited number of sliding-fee scale cash-only rates. Each request is reviewed and accepted on a case-by-case basis. Please contact me if you are interested.

HOW DO I BOOK WITH YOU?

I am currently contracted with Mindful Therapy Group. If you are interested in using your insurance for our sessions, please contact the main Mindful Therapy Group and ask to be placed on my schedule. Inquire — Mindful Therapy Group

For private pay or any other services, please contact me directly at counselingwithvictoria@gmail.com

HOW LONG DOES EACH THERAPY SESSION TAKE?

Each session is around 53 minutes. This specific number is to do with insurance billing. Our sessions will tend to follow a predictable pattern. We will start with a 10-15 minute check-in session, review of homework, review of the previous week. We will them move in to our active part of our session, discussing an area you wish to work on and the final few minutes will be setting new homework and plans for the upcoming week.

DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE?

I am currently contracted with Premera, Kaiser, United Healthcare, & Wellspring/United EAP. I am in the credentialing process with several other insurances, so feel free to check in and see if your insurance is part of my credentialing.

WHAT IS WALK AND TALK THERAPY?

Side-by-side work, and especially while walking, can sometimes be more therapeutically effective. In certain circumstances, if both parties are in agreement, we may choose to have our session while on a local trail. It is important to note that this inherently poses some risks to confidentiality and to your person (slip/falls etc.). If you are interested in this service, let's talk!
