Starting therapy can be difficult, especially if it's taken months — maybe years — just to recognize the need for help. Prior to your first session you will be provided an informed consent which explains the therapeutic process and provides general info. Building trust is vital to a therapeutic relationship, and that is best accomplished through conversation. Therapists are not life coaches and will not tell you what to do in life (at least the good ones won't), but Homefront Healing promises to get “in the trenches” with you and walk step-in-step working toward your goals.
There are various counseling modalities because different individuals and situations require different approaches to achieve the best possible outcomes. Each modality has its own theoretical foundations, techniques, and strategies for addressing specific mental-health issues, personal challenges, and therapeutic goals. Your therapy is unique to you and tailored to goals you'll identify together in your initial sessions. Your therapist may recommend a specific modality such as EMDR or CBT and will explain the benefits and expectations of that approach.
After scheduling your initial session, you will receive virtual copies of Homefront Healing's informed consent and other intake documents. These forms must be reviewed and signed prior to your initial session.
Technology has advanced practically every industry, including counseling. While there are several HIPAA-compliant programs available for telehealth, in-person sessions can capture aspects of communication — like body language — that a screen sometimes misses. That said, the accessibility of telehealth can be extremely beneficial, and we offer both.
50-minute individual sessions are $125. 60-minute couples sessions are $150. At Homefront Healing, financial limitations should never be a barrier to therapy. If you believe you may apply, please inquire about our sliding-scale rates.
Homefront Healing accepts credit cards, cash, or checks made payable to Homefront Healing. All session fees are due at the time of rendered services. If you have an existing balance, you'll be unable to attend a future session until the balance is paid in full.
