The first couple of sessions will look a little different from those that follow. These initial meetings give your counselor a chance to get to know you—where you’re coming from, what you’re hoping to work on, and what goals you’d like to set for therapy. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask questions and get a feel for the process. During this time, your counselor may ask more questions than in later sessions to better understand your needs. Some of these may feel personal, and it’s normal not to feel ready to share everything right away. That’s absolutely okay—your counselor will always go at your pace, and you’ll never be asked to share more than you’re comfortable with.
Our counselors view therapy as a conversation. While your counselor may guide the discussion with questions or observations, you’ll have the space to share what’s most important to you. Together, you’ll explore obstacles, celebrate progress, and brainstorm solutions as therapy evolves into an ongoing dialogue focused on the life you’re striving for.
Counseling sessions usually last about 45–50 minutes. We encourage you to come on time and give yourself that space in your day—without rushing or distractions—so you can focus fully on you. Most clients meet with their counselor weekly, which provides consistency and momentum, but we’ll work together to find the schedule that best supports your goals.
Quick Answer:

At Wellspring, we want you to have options when it comes to paying for therapy. Our licensed clinicians are able to accept some insurances, and we also offer private pay for those who prefer not to use their benefits. We believe in helping you make an informed choice about what feels right for your care.
The benefits of using insurance:
Working with a provider who accepts insurance can lower your out-of-pocket costs, depending on your specific plan, deductible, and copay.
Things to consider:
Insurance coverage for therapy does come with certain requirements that may impact your experience:
• Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis in order to cover services. This diagnosis becomes part of your medical record, which some clients prefer to keep private.
• Insurance providers may limit the number of sessions covered and can require documentation, such as treatment plans or progress updates from your therapist.
• These requirements can sometimes influence the pace, focus, or length of therapy.
Why some clients choose private pay:
Many clients choose to pay out-of-pocket to maintain greater privacy and flexibility. Private pay allows you and your counselor to determine the direction, frequency, and duration of therapy without involvement from an insurance company.
Your options:
You’re welcome to choose the path that best fits your needs. You may use insurance with one of our licensed clinicians, or opt for private pay if you prefer more flexibility and confidentiality. If you’re unsure what makes the most sense for you, we’re happy to talk through your options and help you decide!
