Cost, Location, Duration
Our counseling services are very affordable; financial concerns need not be the deciding
factor in a decision to try counseling. Insurance usually covers a major portion of the
cost of our counseling services, and we are preferred providers for a number of managed care plans
including Blue Cross, PEIA, Aetna, and
SelectNet. In addition, private and
corporate donations allow us to offer counseling fee subsidies based on income and need.
Our offices are in several convenient
counseling locations. Free and ample parking is available at each location.
Change, growth, and healing can happen in surprising ways. The number of sessions in a
course of counseling depends largely on a person’s goals, and his or her sense of
progress on the relevant issues. Each counseling session is fifty minutes long, and is usually
scheduled once a week over the initial meetings.
Our fee is $130 for a fifty minute counseling session.
We offer fee subsidies for counseling based on ability to pay.

Pastoral counseling
Pastoral Counseling is a discipline which provides professional
counseling with an appreciation of the spiritual aspects of life. Our counselors, many of
whom are ordained or avowed, are from a variety of religious faiths and denominations.
We are trained to help persons strengthen relationships, deal effectively with
transitions, and pursue personal growth. We do this by helping persons improve
communication skills, examine unexplored options and find hidden resources, and think in
terms of the bigger picture of life.
