Psychotherapy that helps you say the hard things.
Meaningful change begins with a single conversation. Whatever brought you here, this is a place to be challenged, understood, and genuinely heard.
Real talk. Real conversations.
YOUR FIRST SESSION
What to expect when you walk in the door
Choosing to start therapy is no small thing, and it deserves a therapist who understands the complexities of relationships and the courage it takes to walk in the door. The work can be both liberating and anxiety-provoking, sometimes in the same hour, and that’s exactly as it should be.
Good therapy holds two things at once: the compassion to meet you where you are, and the honesty to challenge the thinking that’s been keeping you stuck. That balance is what creates change that lasts.
Scheduling your first session is a quiet act of hope. It means you’re ready to start living the life you actually want.

HOW LONG DOES THERAPY LAST?
There’s no single answer,
and that’s the point
It depends on what brought you in, how often you meet, and how motivated you are to work toward your goals. However you arrive, on your own or alongside a partner, the work begins the same way: with honest conversation in a space built for it.
Individual therapy
Start weekly, then find your pace
We usually suggest beginning with weekly sessions. That rhythm gives the relationship room to take root, and it’s where the deeper work begins. As therapy continues, the pace can shift, and that’s something you and your therapist decide together. Some seasons call for more support than others.
Couples therapy
A twelve-session commitment
Couples work goes deepest with a commitment of twelve sessions. Together we trace what brought you here and the threads of all you’ve experienced, as a couple, and in the lives you led before you met. Many describe what comes next as a new marriage with the same person.
The approach
Imago & Esther Perel, made your own
Couples work draws on a range of approaches, including Imago Relationship Therapy and study with Esther Perel. More than anything, the hope is that the skills and understanding you build stay with you well beyond the therapy room, across every relationship that matters to you.

"6 years ago, I decided to make a decision about my mental health and chose Champion Counseling. I was dealing with relationship difficulties past and present, as well as some depression. I've learned a lot over the years about myself and relationships with others, thanks to Yvonne. She's not only a great therapist but an excellent teacher."

IS INSURANCE ACCEPTED?
Out-of-network,
by choice
Champion Counseling is an out-of-network provider and is not paneled with any insurance companies. This is a deliberate choice, and it comes down to protecting your privacy.
To reimburse for therapy, insurance companies require a formal mental health diagnosis, and they retain the right to request details about your treatment and to limit the number of sessions you receive. We believe those decisions belong to you and your therapist, not to a third party.
Payment is due at the time of each session. If you plan to seek out-of-network reimbursement, we recommend confirming your mental health benefits with your carrier before beginning, and we’re glad to provide a statement of services by email for you to submit. In many cases, your reimbursement may come close to what you’d pay as a copay
