Frequently Asked Questions


Yes, you can choose either in-person sessions at the office in Columbia, MD or virtual sessions online. Virtual therapy is conducted via a secure video link and offers flexibility to meet from wherever you are.

The intake session is your first opportunity to share about yourself in a brave space. It’s also commonly referred to as an information gathering session, which means I will ask questions to help me get to know you. During our session you’ll have the opportunity to share about what you’ve been experiencing.

Typical therapy sessions are about 50–60 minutes long. This gives us time to explore what’s on your mind while respecting your schedule and energy.

Wellness Space Counseling is a private-pay practice. We do not bill insurance directly, which allows us to protect your privacy, keep your care free from insurance restrictions, and provide fully personalized treatment. Upon request, we can provide a superbill you may submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We’re happy to answer any questions about costs during your free consultation.

Getting started is simple: just fill out the form on this page to request a free consultation. We’ll review your information, reach out to discuss next steps, and schedule your first session.
