Center for Professional Counseling Services

Here are answers to frequently asked questions:

Q: Does it help?

A: If you put yourself into the process - Yes!

Q: This is such a sensitive area of my (our) personal life (lives), how do I (we) decide who to work with?

A: After looking at the experience of a clinician, I believe the best way is to connect with people you are comfortable talking with. The best (only) way to do that is to talk to someone on a one-to-one basis and than decide if you'd be comfortable working with them.

Q: How do I know what my insurance will pay for Outpatient Counseling?

A: Look at the back of your insurance card & call the toll free number for Mental Health for Substance Abuse. Ask for benefits for Outpatient Counseling & ask the following:

How many sessions do I have per year?
What is my deductible & have I satisfied it yet? Do I have a co-pay?
Is my therapist in network & how much do they pay?
Is there out of network benefits & how much do they pay?
Do I need to pre-certify / authorize sessions?
Do I have EAP services & how do I access them?
If looking for couple counseling, ask if you are covered for marital counseling.
