Therapy is a personal, voluntary decision that is about discovering the cause of ineffective behaviors, beliefs, feelings, and/or relationship issues. After the cause(s) is/are identified, the work begins to build an individualized, self - discovery plan for a solution(s). The therapy environment is a safe space to process, confront, and resolve unhealthy challenges in your life. As a therpist, I am in this space to listen with full attention, provide intentional feedback to promote progress, model a healthy relationship, and remain ethical and unbiased throughout the process. Because therapy is a process, it is important to contact the National Suicide Hotline if you are facing an acute situation and are thinking about suicide. Please call: like 800-273-8255 immediately, as this line is open 24/7/365. If you are in a relationship to which you feel like you are in danger and need support, please call the National Domestic Violence hotline at: 800.799.SAFE (7233). There are also open lines 24/7/365 to provide support, information, if you are in a relationship experiencing domestic violence.

The steps to begin therapy services with Peaceful Connections Counseling and Consulting: 1. Book a free, 15 - minute consultation to which we will connect to discuss your needs and goals in therapy. Any acute needs will be addressed at that time, as well as if another appropriate referral is in your best interest. To book a consultation, please book from this website. You may also email me at: alyssa@peacefulcounselingandconsulting.com to inquire about a consultation and I would be glad to coordinate a day and time in response. 2. After the consultation, if it is mutally agreed - an initial appointment is scheduled. I will collect your name and email to create a secure, HIPAA compliant client portal account to which you can login to review practice policies and complete intake assessments. You are also able to conviniently sign all documents electronically and complete your billing information at that time. 3. Depending on the reminder settings you choose from your portal account, you will be notified with a link to join the secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth room via Simple Practice. You will be charged the full session fee the day of your appointment. 4. On the day of your appointment, click the link provided to you at the time of your appointment to begin services. That is it ! :)

I do not accept insurance. All sessions are $140.00/hour. If your plan does provide reimbursement, I would be glad to provide you with the necessary documentation (i.e. invoice) to submit to your insurance company. For self pay, all major credit cards, debit cards, Flexible Spending Account cards, and Health Savings Accont cards are accepted.
