FEES & Insurance: Confidentiality: Counseling sessions

Integrative Psychotherapy & Wellness Counseling (IPWC) is a fee for service provider in Jacksonville, NC providing mental health counseling and therapy; serving both private pay Clients and insurance policy holders alike. Mental health and therapy services should be affordable and accessible. Fair rates for services & sessions are provided to all Clients without compromising quality and expertise. Fees vary depending on services provided and length of sessions. To discuss fees, insurance, and to help you decide if Integrative Psychotherapy & Wellness is the right fit for you, we offer a free 15 min consultation to all new clients.  Sliding scale fees slots currently available. 

 Counseling sessions are confidential between therapist and client. There are exceptions to confidentiality which, by law, I must adhere to. The circumstances under which I would discuss the content of our sessions include: if you have given me explicit written permission to do so, or, if I have reason to believe that you are in danger of harming yourself, someone else, or if there is child, elder, or dependent adult abuse.

It is my strong recommendation that we meet weekly while doing psychotherapeutic work together. I have found that my clients benefit most from the structured consistency of weekly meetings which allow us to build a foundation of understanding for the issues at hand and address them in an expeditious manner. If your situation does not allow for weekly meetings, please let me know. Bi-weekly/fortnightly appointments may also be a possibility, however, meetings with any less frequency are strongly discouraged for new clients.

Session appointment times are reserved for each client and dedicated to that individual alone. Therefore, my cancelation policy requires 24 hours notice  (by email or phone) if you are not going to be able to make a scheduled session. If 24 hours notice is not given, I charge a late cancellation fee. This amount is not reimbursable by BCBS or other insurance companies, therefore the client is required to pay the amount in full.
