Are you a good fit for me and my concerns?
At Ahimsa Counseling and Wellness, the fit between therapist and client is extremely important. It is the foundation for which we/you do some of the most intimate and vulnerable work of life. Shay honors the importance and the anxiety it can cause to start a therapeutic relationship and therefore offers a free 10 minute consultation to discuss your needs and answer any questions. She will use the first 4 sessions to establish rapport and support you in identifying your goals, and explicitly check in with you how you are feeling about the progression of the work and of the relationship.

Are you connecting with clients virtually or in-person?
In an effort to keep ourselves and our clients safe and healthy, we are conducting all sessions virtually at this time and until further notice.
What platform do you use for virtual sessions?
At Ahimsa Counseling and Wellness, all sessions are conducted virtually using a HIPAA compliant platform called SimplePractice. You will sign and complete all intake paperwork electronically through this platform, and it will also host our video appointments.
How often will we meet?
At Ahimsa Counseling and Wellness, you will meet once a week for the first 4 weeks. This will allow you to establish rapport with your therapist and to build momentum as it relates to your goals. It also gives you a chance to decide (sooner rather than later) whether or not you and your therapist are a good fit. After the first four weeks, you and your therapist will collaborate to determine the frequency of sessions, based on your goals and your desire.
What are your session fees?
Individual sessions are $175/per session. Couples’ sessions are $200/per session. Payment is due on the day of session and it is required that a credit card is put on file. Cash and checks are not accepted.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes! At this time, we are able to accept BCBS insurance policies.
What are the times available for session?
At ACW, sessions are conducted Tuesday through Friday. Typically, the first session of the day is at 9 am and the last session of day is at 5 pm.
How long are sessions at ACW?
Each session, including the initial session, is 52-55 minutes. Ask about 90 minute sessions for couple’s counseling.
What is the cancellation policy at ACW?
At Ahimsa Counseling and Wellness, the cancellation policy is 24 hours. We understand that things come up and that we cannot always control the circumstances of our busy lives, so let’s work together to create a schedule that minimizes your need to cancel and that works both for you and your therapist.
