What to Expect?
On the first appointment you and the counselor will get to know each other and learn about why you are seeking counseling. You go at your own pace, sharing what you feel comfortable when you are comfortable sharing. From there, we discover what your needs are and start teaching you the tools needed to improve your life.
How Many Sessions Will it Take?
That depends. Some come for a few sessions, get the tools they need to get back on track, and are on their way. Others needs a longer time of journeying with a counselor and that is fine as well. Over the counseling process we exam where you are at health wise and make our decision based on that.

What is telehealth counseling like?
Many people are reluctant about doing telehealth counseling at first. It is very different than sitting down in front of someone in person. But, for a lot of people they realize that is it actually not that bad and enjoy doing counseling online. It saves travel time and give them the comfort of surroundings they are familiar with. It’s just you and the counselor, in your pritave setting getting the help you need. If you are even considering it, I would suggest trying it to see if is for you. You might be surprised.
What is the cost?
The cost for a session (55 minutes) is $110. Northward Counseling and Wellness is a private pay practice excepting most credit cards. Northward Counseling and Wellness also accepts Cigna Insurance. Flexible payment rates are available to a limited number of people who qualify.

What is the Good Faith Estimate?
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
