Session Fees • Individual Therapy Sessions: $125 per 50-minute session • Family Therapy Sessions: $135 per 50-minute session Before your first session, I will provide you with a Good Faith Estimate to help you understand the cost of services. Blue Hour Counseling operates as an out-of-network provider. While I do not directly accept insurance, I will provide you with a detailed invoice (superbill) that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. If you are unfamiliar with how to request reimbursement, I will gladly provide clear, step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process. I also recommend contacting your insurance provider to understand your out-of-network benefits.

Clients are encouraged to commit to weekly or biweekly sessions. Consistency is essential for meaningful progress, as therapy requires intention, effort, and regular engagement to achieve positive outcomes.

The duration of therapy varies greatly from person to person. The number of sessions needed depends on several factors, including the severity of symptoms, treatment goals, consistency in attendance, willingness to apply insights from sessions to daily life, and overall satisfaction with progress.

This free, 15-minute phone consultation offers an opportunity to discuss your primary mental health concerns and learn more about Blue Hour Counseling’s approach to therapy. Please note that this brief consultation is not a substitute for treatment or diagnosis.

In your first few sessions, your therapist will aim to create a space of comfort and warmth, so you feel safe exploring any thoughts, emotions, and life stressors you may be struggling with. Once you and your therapist have established trust in the therapeutic relationship, your therapist will utilize various strategies to help you detangle unhelpful thought patterns, regulate uncomfortable emotions, increase self-awareness and compassion, communicate effectively in your relationships, heal from previous trauma, and learn how to make decisions based on what you value most.

Online therapy, also referred to as telehealth, allows people to connect with a mental health therapist online who is licensed to practice in their state. Live video sessions are the most common form of online therapy. Blue Hour Counseling is equipped to provide online treatment to clients across Texas via a secure, HIPPA-compliant platform. Online counseling will allow you flexibility when attending sessions and even offer you the convenience of "going to therapy" without leaving your home or office. There is consistent evidence that shows no difference in the effectiveness of online versus traditional counseling methods. Many clients prefer online counseling as it allows them even greater flexibility within their schedule and the ability to attend therapy from the comfort of their familiar surroundings. Clients can even continue treatment while away on business or vacation. Blue Hour Counseling is passionate about creating a safe, supportive online space for Texas residents, regardless of location.

If you are familiar with using a computer, phone, or tablet, engaging in a telehealth session can be straightforward, similar to doing a video call. Blue Hour Counseling will gladly help you set up what you need to engage in telehealth sessions if you do not know how to do so. Blue Hour Counseling is well versed in providing online therapy to clients across Texas.

Clients can choose whether they would like to meet in person, online, or both. Some situations make it unsafe for clients to meet exclusively online. Your therapist will communicate with you if it is safer and necessary to meet in person rather than online.
