Sessions are prorated based on the frequency of sessions as indicated by the client! Full Bloom Counseling sessions are approximately 50% the cost of average sessions in the US.

Do you accept insurance?

Full Bloom Counseling does not accept insurance and is cash only. Insurance companies require therapists to provide a mental health diagnosis in order to submit claims. By not accepting insurance, Full Bloom Counseling not only protects clients from having a mental health diagnosis permanently listed on their medical records, but also allows clients to receive treatment according to their needs rather than needing insurance approval.

How does payment occur?

Following the conclusion of your counseling session, you will receive a PayPal invoice to your email. It’s as easy as clicking the link to pay, and entering your payment information! Full Bloom Counseling does not have access to your payment information.

How long are counseling sessions?

Sessions are up to 55 minutes long, but can run shorter according to client preference. Session length does not influence the amount charged per session.

Where will we meet?

All sessions are conducted via telehealth as phone call or video sessions according to client preference. No in-person sessions are currently being offered. Offering telehealth rather than in-person sessions removes several potential barriers of accessibility for clients, and also cuts overhead costs for Full Bloom Counseling. The savings are passed down to the client in the form of a lower than average session cost!

What if I am having an emergency related to mental health?

If you are having an emergency, we very strongly urge you to call the Life Crisis Hotline at 314-647-HELP (4357), the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, 911, or to go to the nearest emergency room.

Is everything I say confidential?

Information shared in sessions and all identifying information about clients is kept confidential. The exceptions to this are if the therapist believes the client is at risk for harming his/her self or someone else, or if there is suspected abuse or neglect. The other exception is if records are subpoenaed for court.
