Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at 937.588.4488 if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Children's Counseling

We provide a welcoming, child-friendly counseling environment designed specifically to help children feel safe and comfortable. Our counselors utilize play therapy, art therapy, and sand therapy as tools to help children express their emotions, process difficult experiences, and develop healthy coping skills. 

Couple's Counseling

Relationships can be challenging, and sometimes couples need support to navigate difficulties and strengthen their connection. We provide counseling for couples experiencing challenges in their relationship, as well as premarital counseling for couples who want to build a strong foundation for their marriage. 

Grief Counseling

Grief is experienced in many forms and is not limited to the loss of a loved one. Significant losses—including the end of a relationship, loss of a career, the death of a pet, or other major life changes—can bring feelings of grief and adjustment. Our counselors provide a supportive space to process loss, navigate difficult emotions, and move toward healing.  

General Counseling

Life can bring stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and other struggles that can feel difficult to manage alone. Sometimes, having a neutral and compassionate person to listen can make all the difference. Our counselors provide a safe, supportive environment to help individuals work through life’s challenges, gain perspective, develop healthy coping skills, and move forward. 


Our counseling fees are based on a sliding scale determined by household income. Fees range from $30 to $80 per session, helping make quality counseling accessible and affordable for individuals and families. 


Your first appointment is an initial assessment lasting approximately 1-2 hours. During this visit, you’ll have the opportunity to share what brings you to counseling, discuss relevant history and current concerns, and identify goals for treatment. This helps your counselor better understand your needs and develop a plan for moving forward. 


The length of counseling varies for each individual, so there is no set timeframe for treatment. Your counselor will work with you to determine the appropriate length of care based on your needs, goals, progress, and participation in the counseling process. 


Everyone responds to counseling differently, and emotional healing takes time. Counseling often involves addressing difficult experiences and emotions, so it is not uncommon to feel worse before you begin to feel better. With time, patience, and continued effort, healing and progress are possible.


Your progress will be influenced by the effort you put into practicing the tools, techniques, and strategies discussed with your counselor. Counseling is a partnership—you and your counselor work together to identify what can help, but applying those tools outside of sessions is an important part of the process. Think of counseling much like visiting a physician: your counselor can provide guidance and recommendations, but meaningful change requires putting those recommendations into practice.
