Subsequent sessions involve collaborative discussion, guided exercises, and therapeutic techniques tailored to your needs. We strive to create a comfortable and confidential space for open dialogue. The frequency of sessions is typically discussed during your initial appointment and may vary based on individual needs and progress.

Therapy fees at Optimum Joy Counseling are based on factors like the therapist's experience and credentials, session length, and location. We strive to offer competitive rates and may provide information on potential sliding scale options or payment plans. Regarding insurance, we are currently an out-of-network provider for most major insurance plans. This means we do not directly bill insurance companies. We will provide you with a superbill after each session that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to understand your out-of-network benefits before your first session.
