What do you charge and how can I pay?

For private pay clients, sessions are $150 each. Sessions are 50-55 minutes long, in person or virtually.

We take some commercial insurances: Aetna, Blue Cross, and United Healthcare. If you have questions about insurance or want to see if we take your specific plan, please reach out! We’d be happy to check, and we can let you know your copay before your first session. We don’t want to leave you guessing!

Payment is due at the time of service. If you have an outstanding balance due, you might not be able to schedule more sessions until that is resolved. We accept debit cards and all major credit cards. If paying in advance, we can also accept cash/check.

What is your cancellation policy?

When possible, please let us know with at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. If you notify us with less than 24 hours notice, there will be a $25 cancellation fee. If you no-show for an appt, there will be a $50 no-show fee.

Why does Nik also practice in California?

After graduating with his Master’s in 2018, Nik moved to Long Beach, CA! He worked in private practice there until he moved to North Carolina in 2022, but still sees several clients from California virtually. He is able to offer insurance coverage for most PPO plans for California residents with Anthem, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Aetna, or United Health insurance.

Is this Christian counseling, or faith-based in any way?

No. We are a secular therapy practice, meaning counseling is not influenced by any personal religious or spiritual beliefs. Religious and spiritual beliefs are always welcome in the counseling setting, but the client’s beliefs inform the work, not the counselors.

I’m worried about what’s going on my “medical record.”

Totally understandable! We are very transparent about what is and isn’t “on the record.” Please reach out with questions about this if you have specific concern.
