Anyone struggling with an uncomfortable life-transition, needing a fresh perspective on an issue, seeking a better understanding of feelings, wanting to let go of uncomfortable emotions or trauma, having a mental health concern, and struggling with low self-esteem, etc. can benefit from going to therapy. Therapy helps people see their situation from a different perspective, assists with distinguishing between rational/maladaptive thoughts, and promotes overall mental wellness.

If you cannot afford our rate, call or email Burch Tree Counseling Center to learn more about our sliding scale option based on income. This option has limited spots available so, call soon before spots fill up. If you have out of network insurance, Burch Tree Counseling Center can provide the necessary forms so, your sessions can potentially be reimbursed by your insurance provider.

If you do not cancel your appointment 24 hours ahead of time the card on file will be charged the full service fee.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

Online therapy is a more convenient way to receive therapy than in-person counseling. Tele-health takes place from the comfort of your home and is deemed equally effective as traditional methods.

Your Burch Tree Counselor will email you a link to conduct a tele-health session, via Simple Practice. Simple Practice is a secure tele-health and EHR platform specifically designed for mental health and professionals so, your sessions can remain safe and confidential.

Once you receive the link and are in a quiet/distraction-free space, click on the link and wait for your session to begin. If you are using a phone or, tablet download the Simple Practice app and then click on the session link.

The first session will consist of going over the forms you signed, delving deeper into your presenting concern, completing a few assessments, and collaboratively creating goals. Think of the first session as the foundation to further sessions.

The purpose of a free 15 minute consultation is to see whether your therapist is the right fit for you and if you’re the right fit for your therapist! During the consultation your counselor will ask you several questions on what brings you to therapy, the symptoms you’re experiencing, if you’ve been to counseling before, and what you need from a therapist.

You will also have room to ask whatever questions that you have to determine if the counselor is the right fit for you! The consultation will be held on SimplePractice which is a HIPPAA compliant video system that is used for each full length session.

Therapy has been shown to improve psychological and emotional wellness. Positive changes in the brain and body are often a result of therapy.

Yes! Therapy is confidential. What is said in the therapy room remains in the therapy room unless, you state that you have the intent to harm yourself or, another person.

This is more common than you think and COMPLETELY normal! I often find that many clients are nervous during the first few sessions. This is often because they don’t know what to expect. Rest assured, this is a judgement-free space and it is our job to help make you feel comfortable enough to open up. If you have any questions about the therapy process before hand, feel free to send an email or, sign up for the free 15 minute consultation.

Before your first session, you will be asked to sign all consent forms and fill out the intake form. It’s also beneficial to think of some goals that you would like to accomplish at the end of our journey together!
