GETTING STARTED
Before your first session
-
There’s no single timeline. It depends on what brought you in, how often you meet, and how motivated you are to work toward your goals. Individual and couples therapy often begins with weekly sessions for the first one to three months, then shifts to a pace that fits your life. Some seasons call for more frequent support, including during a crisis.
With couples specifically, attending sessions together consistently makes the biggest difference. Much of the work happens between sessions, as you put what you’ve discussed into practice at home.
-
Beginning therapy is a big step, and it can feel both liberating and anxiety-provoking at once. Your first session is a conversation: what brought you in, what you’re hoping to work toward, and how we can help.
You don’t need to have the right words ready. Showing up is enough.
FEES & INSURANCE
Clear, upfront costs
-
Champion Counseling is an out-of-network provider and is not paneled with any insurance companies. This is a deliberate choice: insurance reimbursement requires a formal mental health diagnosis, and it gives a third party the right to request details about your treatment. We believe what happens in session belongs to you and your therapist.
If you plan to seek out-of-network reimbursement, confirm your mental health benefits with your carrier first. We’re glad to provide a statement of services by email for you to submit.
