Ground Well Counseling is a practice devoted to facilitating every person’s healing and agency. Though most sessions are focused at an individual level, social justice, healing and environmental wellbeing are essential components of the practice.
Services and Pricing
Rates and Sliding Scale
Services are priced hourly based on a sliding scale. I can also provide a superbill for reimbursement from insurance if you have the required out-of-network benefits. Please see the Sliding Scale and Rates document for more information.
Payment Types
I accept cash, check, credit, debit, and HSA cards. Cards are processed through TherapyNotes, a secure documentation, scheduling, and billing/payments software for health care businesses.
Cancellation Policy
I understand that schedule changes are sometimes unavoidable, in which case I would first offer a secure telehealth appointment option if arriving in-person became impossible. Otherwise, if you are unable to make the appointment in person or via telehealth, please give a 24-hour cancellation notice. Without such a cancellation communication, I will charge a cancellation fee. The cancellation fee is 75% of the usual fee and would need to be paid at or before the following session in order to continue with treatment.
Counseling
Individual mental health counseling
Base rate (reimbursement rate): $125/hour — I provide individual counseling services to help you increase agency and satisfaction in your life. Your needs and goals are the guidelines for every session. What directions do you want to grow in your life? What do you need to grow in the directions you desire? The counseling process is sometimes challenging and sometimes graceful; sometimes it is both at once. If you are willing to do a little digging (sometimes literally, here!), your self-inquiry may yield a rewarding harvest.
Family counseling
Base rate: $150/hour — I provide family counseling on an hourly basis. The specific session lengths and frequency will be determined after the consultation and initial session. Think of the family as an ecosystem, a network of interconnected and interdependent individuals. All individuals are continually growing and changing, and the relationships between them are also growing and changing. Family counseling can help you direct that change and growth in a way that feels satisfying and supportive for all family members.
Note: I do not provide individual counseling for children.
Group counseling
Base rate: $30/hour per person — Groups provide a community container that can help everyone learn and process experiences and emotions in a distinct way from one-on-one counseling. Groups can be a set number of sessions and set number of participants or they can be open groups, which allows for drop-in participation. I offer both kinds of groups. (I also offer skills groups, which are centered around learning and practicing skills, and which are not therapy groups - please see the next column.)
Skills Groups
Nature-based Mindfulness Group
Base rate: $30/hour per person — This group combines psychoeducation about mindfulness, attention, and nervous system regulation with practical skills for increasing mindfulness, practicing different types of attention, and living in the moment more deliberately. This is not a therapy group. This group runs approximately once a season for eight weeks. A minimum of four people is required to run the group.
Nature-based Emotional Regulation Skills Group
Base rate: $30/hour per person — This group combines psychoeducation about nervous system and emotional regulation with building skills and strategies for emotional regulation. This group builds on the mindfulness skills group, but participation in that group is not a prerequisite. The focus of this group is more relational and aims to increase the skills of responsiveness while decreasing reactivity. This is not a therapy group. This group runs approximately once a season for eight weeks. A minimum of four people is required to run the group.
