FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Individual and relational counseling focuses on healing past wounds, addressing mental health concerns, and fostering emotional and relational well-being. Counseling often includes coaching as an intervention. In contrast, coaching is a future-focused, action-driven service designed to help clients learn, build skills, overcome obstacles, and achieve their goals. Coaching may address past wounds and their impact on present day issues, but it rarely involves intervention to address or heal issues related to the past.

Unlike counseling, which requires a state license and oversight by a governing body, coaching does not require formal licensure or specific training. As a cross-disciplinary provider, Anna upholds the highest standards of professional ethics, integrity, transparency, and responsibility when practicing both as a therapist and coach, ensuring that every client receives the appropriate level of care and support for their unique needs.

Cost varies based on the type of service being provided. Individual and relational therapy and coaching services range from $190-$225/clock hour (50 minutes). Please contact Anna for more information on pricing, including package options and sliding-scale availability.

Anna offers a fee for service structure with payment due at the beginning of the service. She does not accept insurance and is not on any insurance panels. A superbill may be offered upon request, which may be submitted to insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. Anna does not practice diagnosing and will not provide clients with a diagnostic code for services.

Payment for therapy services include credit/debit cards and HSA/FSA. HSA/FSA may not be used to pay for coaching services.

A typical session lasts for 50 minutes, although some sessions may be longer or shorter depending on your needs and preferences.

Recommendations for meeting frequency and length of sessions will be discussed based on the client’s needs and available resources.
