Frequently Asked Questions

Private pay allows the therapist to focus on the client treatment without insurance interference; it provides lower caseloads so the therapist can provide more focused, individualized care.  Clients don't have to wait for insurance approval before seeking services or insurance denial and have surprise costs. Clients get relief from having to try and meet recurring high premiums and deductibles. At times, private pay prices can be cheaper for clients and more convenient. You can find more informed information about the benefits of private pay at this website: https://thepsychologygroup.com/benefits-of-private-pay/


A typical counseling session at Breaking Illusions Counseling LLC lasts for 50 minutes, although some sessions may be longer or shorter depending on your needs and preferences. On average, therapy takes 4-6 months. This is highly flexible in timing as no timeline is set in stone. Oftentimes coming and going to and from therapy is healthy, as well as re-entering therapy as difficulties arise is recommended.  At any point, the client can terminate services as that is their right. 


The policy outlines as such: Cancellation--needs to take place within a reasonable amount of time or as soon as possible with a justified reason for cancelling with in 24-48 hours. Late Cancellation--can happen if cancelling within 24 hours or less of scheduled appointment time. No show/No Call--counts as no communication and completely missing the scheduled session. If reminders do not get sent by chance, that does not qualify as this providers fault and is not a reason to be excused from missing the session.
Appointment reminders are sent out 24 and 48 hours in advance to prevent last minute cancelling.
