Frequently Asked Questions

How will I know if my insurance will pay for my counseling?

Counseling for Wellness is carried on most insurance panels. When you contact us, please have your insurance information handy (from your insurance card) and we will call and get all the details for you. You can either schedule an appointment when you make this initial call, or you can wait until we call you back with your coverage information.

How long does counseling last?

Each session is scheduled for 50 minutes, however your first session may be somewhat longer due to the initial paperwork that is needed. The number of sessions that you schedule will depend on your counseling needs and your wishes. Counseling for Wellness believes that our clients’ needs are the most important factor so we meet you where you are and will see you as long as you would like to be seen!

Will I feel better when counseling has ended?

Counseling for Wellness has a long proven record of satisfied clients. (See testimonials on the Services page.) We pride ourselves in using only those approaches that generate a healthy mind, mood and presence. Of course, counseling is like other opportunities in that what you put in to the process, you will get out of it.

Can I choose the counselor I would like to work with?

Counseling for Wellness makes every attempt to honor those wishes. However, as our schedules do fill up you will be given the choice to see someone else in the practice (if they can see you sooner than your chosen counselor) or be placed on a waiting list. The choice will always be yours.

What processes are available to me if I don't like the counselor I'm working with?

Of course the first process is to talk with your counselor about your dissatisfaction. He or she will want to know if what is happening in session is benefiting you. Feel free to discuss this so that you feel your needs are being met. If this, however, does not resolve the problem, you can contact our clinical director, Jane Bissler, by phone (330-677-2000), or by email (jbissler@counselingforwellness.com).  She wants to know your concerns as well as your satisfaction.
