Is therapy confidential?

Yes, therapy is confidential within ethical and legal limits. Your therapist will explain these boundaries, including exceptions like risk of harm or legal requirements, at the start of your sessions.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Therapy can be beneficial for anyone seeking support and guidance in managing life's challenges, coping with stress, improving relationships, or addressing mental health concerns, past or present. If you're struggling with challenges affecting your daily life, relationships, work, or overall well-being, therapy can provide support and guidance.
What can I expect in a therapy session?

Therapy sessions typically involve discussing current concerns, exploring underlying emotions and patterns, setting goals, and learning coping strategies. Sessions provide a safe and confidential space to express and explore thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Do you accept insurance, or do I have to pay out-of-pocket?

PSPWC operates as a private pay practice. While we are not an in-network provider with any insurance company and do not directly bill insurance, all clients receive the necessary documentation to seek reimbursement directly from your insurance provider.
How do I schedule an appointment, and what’s your cancellation policy?
