Setting Up Your First Appointment

Reaching out is the first step. You’re welcome to email me at contact@innerwellnesscc.com with a brief description of what you’ve been experiencing and what you’re hoping to work on. From there, I’ll let you know whether my approach aligns with what you’re looking for and how I can be helpful.

What Happens Next

 

If we decide to move forward, you’ll receive access to a secure client portal where you can complete the initial forms at your own pace.

To help make the process smooth, I may ask for some basic information such as:

  • Your full name
  • Address
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Date of birth
  • A copy of your ID
  • A front & back copy of insurance card (if applicable)

If the policy holder is not you, I will also need their name and date of birth.

The Counseling Session Fee

The therapy session has a duration of 50-60 minutes. In the first session, I will listen about your concerns, start making assessments that may or may not involve inventories, and answer all your questions. The session fee is $150 if insurance is not applied.

Technology Requirements

I exclusively provide telehealth sessions. Although some people may have apprehension about virtual appointments, the effectiveness of the virtual counseling is comparable to the one in person. In addition, there are advantages about virtual sessions because you can avoid time spent driving to an actual office and they can be done at any location that you prefer (within the states of Texas); however please make sure that you have privacy while in session.

High speed internet is a must to make sure that the video will run without interruptions. No download is required. The day before your appointment, you will receive a link via email and text. At the time of your appointment, just click on the link and provide your name to join the session. I may be late one or two minutes, as I transition from one session to your session.

Cancellations

A 24-hour notice is required for appointment cancellation without fee. If you fail to let me know  24 hours in advance that you are unable to come, you will have the cancellation fee waived one time only. After that, a fee of $80 will be applied for every late cancellation or unattended session. Please be aware that part of the success of therapy is your presence at the sessions and your active participation.

Insurance

I am currently accepting United Health Care, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna and Aetna. If you have an insurance company that I do not contract with, you may be able to get reimbursed for sessions by your insurance. In this case, you need to have out-of-network benefits and I can provide you the information you need for you to send the form to your insurance.

Payments

You can pay with debit or credit card. The debit and credit cards I accept are Visa, Master Card, and Discover. I also accept HSA (Health Savings Account) cards.
