Frequently Asked Questions
Getting started.
What is the first step in working together?
You can schedule a free 15-minute consultation directly through our website. From there, we’ll find a time that works for your full session.
What can I expect in the free consultation call?
The 15-minute consultation call is a chance to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, explore your goals, and create a safe space to begin the work together.
I’ve never done therapy before—what if I’m nervous?
That’s completely normal. We move at your pace, and there’s no pressure to say anything before you’re ready. This is a space for you to feel supported, not judged.
Are sessions online or in-person?
All sessions are online via phone or video call. We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth for residents of Indiana and Pennsylvania.
How often will we meet?
Most clients meet weekly or biweekly, but we’ll decide together what feels most supportive for your needs and schedule.
Fees, insurance, and logistics.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes! BRAVE SPACE accepts most major insurance providers and partners with the non-profit Unite for HER. We also work through platforms like Grow, Headway, and Alma to make coverage easier and more accessible.
What are your session fees?
Private pay sessions range from $150–$165, depending on the type of service. We’ll discuss the exact rate during your free consultation.
What if I don’t have insurance?
We offer private pay options for those without insurance. During our consultation call, we’ll walk through costs and help you decide what works best for you.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes—all new clients are invited to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. It’s a no-pressure way to ask questions, share your needs, and see if we’re a good fit.
Will I know my cost before committing?
Absolutely. After our consultation, we’ll connect you with a cost estimator tool through our insurance partners so there are no surprises before your first session.
Our approach to therapy.
What kind of therapy do you use?
We use a variety of evidence-based approaches including person-centered therapy, logotherapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. Each session is tailored to your unique needs and story.
Is faith a part of counseling?
Yes—if you’d like it to be. Many of our clients appreciate a Christian, faith-affirming lens in therapy, but we always honor your beliefs and preferences.
Do you work with couples together?
Yes! My husband Duane and I co-lead couples counseling sessions, combining clinical insight and life experience for a well-rounded, faith-integrated approach.
Do you only work with people affected by cancer?
While cancer care is our specialty, we also support clients navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, faith struggles, and relationship challenges.
What makes therapy at BRAVE SPACE different?
We focus on more than just symptoms—we honor your whole story. You’ll find warmth, intuition, and a space where healing is relational, not just clinical.
