FAQ

At Empowered Life Counseling, we provide counseling services for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and more. Please contact us to learn more about how we can help you.

The length of counseling varies depending on the individual and their specific needs. Some people may need only a few sessions, while others may require ongoing support for several months or longer. Our therapists will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs and goals.

While no two individuals or couples are alike, scheduling regular weekly sessions for at least 4 – 6 weeks and probably longer is expected.  After that, if you choose to move to a bi-weekly schedule, you’re welcome to do that if a bi-weekly spot is available on your therapist’s schedule that works for you. We do not schedule monthly appointments. Understanding that you will get the best results from our sessions together if you stay consistent and actively participate in the process is essential.

At Empowered Life Counseling, we use a client-centered approach to counseling, which means that we focus on building a strong relationship with our clients based on trust, empathy, and mutual respect. We also use evidence-based techniques and interventions to help our clients achieve their goals and improve their mental health.

Except in limited circumstances, the confidentiality of all communications between a client and therapist/counselor is protected under law, and no information will be disclosed outside the practice without written consent.  Limitations of such client-held privilege of confidentiality include suspected child abuse, suspected elder abuse, or instances where a client threatens or attempts to seriously harm themselves or cause grave bodily harm or death to another person.  And in couples therapy, we treat the couple as “the client” and will not keep secrets between the two partners.

Twenty-four-hour notice is required for the cancellation of an appointment. To avoid being charged a $100 late cancel/no-show fee, please text the practice at 918.991.5538 at least 24 hours in advance (Monday clients need to reach out on Friday) to cancel or reschedule your appointment. If you cancel an appointment with less than 24 hours’ notice or fail to show up, you will be charged a $100 fee for the appointment. This charge is NOT covered by insurance and you cannot use HSA or FSA funds for cancellation charges. Your charge will be applied to your credit card on file. Appointments missed because of serious or contagious illness or extreme weather or other unavoidable circumstance will not be subject to this fee.

The practice is paneled as an in-network service provider for clients with Blue Cross & Blue Shield, HealthChoice, Cigna, United Healthcare, UMR, and QuikTrip. We do not bill out-of-network, and we do not provide superbills for out-of-network insurance companies. You are responsible for your deductible, co-pay, or co-insurance, due at your appointment. Few policies cover 100% of the cost. Please understand that you are fully responsible for paying all fees for services allowed by your insurance policy.

No, we do not accept insurance for couples therapy or provide a mental health diagnosis when working with couples, so there is no way to submit to insurance for reimbursement. It is an investment in your most important relationship. 

If you are struggling with personal challenges, such as anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, counseling may be able to help you. Our counselors provide a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, and to develop coping strategies and solutions for your challenges.

There are many variables related to how much you will pay for therapy, such as what your insurance says your responsibility is, the frequency of appointments, and the length of time you are in therapy. A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is available for all clients, especially those using private pay. Please note that it is difficult to accurately estimate the length of therapy for any client as it depends on many factors, not within the scope or control of the therapist. It is always a good idea to ensure that a course of therapy is financially sustainable for you before starting.
