Palm Beach Holistic Counseling combines mental health counseling with personalized nutrition, physical fitness planning, and spiritual exploration. Serving clients in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, as well as nearby areas like West Palm Beach and Jupiter, our practice focuses on in-person therapy with telehealth options for flexibility. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we get from clients before starting therapy with us.

Q: I’m New to Therapy. What Should I Expect?

A: Coming into therapy for the first time may be scary, but there is nothing to worry about. Therapy is a safe, confidential environment where you can share and speak about anything that you need to talk about without judgment. We take each and every client very seriously and give them the same respect that we would a close friend or family member.

Q: How Long Do Therapy Appointments Last?

A: Appointments last around 50-60 minutes, though the exact duration varies based on the session type and individual needs. Initial consultations may run over this time for us to gather background information and understand your goals for therapy. For couples therapy, session lengths may be slightly longer to allow both partners adequate time.

Q: What Options Are There for Treating Anxiety and Trauma?

A: At Palm Beach Holistic Counseling, we take a multifaceted approach to treating anxiety and trauma. Along with traditional therapy techniques, we incorporate nutritional guidance, physical fitness planning, and spiritual exploration. This integrated approach to therapy for trauma and anxiety helps clients process past experiences, develop valuable coping mechanisms, and regain a sense of stability. Each treatment plan is customized, and we assess your needs to determine the best approach.

Q: Is Medication a Good Substitute for Therapy?

A: Psychiatric medication can support therapy, especially for issues like anxiety or depression, but it is not a substitute for it. Anxiety therapy provides you with the tools and insights to address underlying issues, develop coping strategies, and improve emotional resilience over the long term. If medication is necessary, we can collaborate with your healthcare provider to create a balanced treatment plan.

Q: Do You Offer Telehealth Options?

A: Yes. While we prioritize in-person therapy for clients in Palm Beach Gardens and nearby areas, we also offer telehealth sessions. Telehealth allows flexibility for those who may have scheduling constraints or live farther away. You’ll receive the same quality of care as in-person clients, with tailored therapy sessions that fit your unique goals.

Q: Do You Accept Insurance?

A: We work with certain insurance providers; however, coverage may vary. To help make our therapy accessible, we offer several flexible payment options and can provide documentation for reimbursement if needed. During your phone consultation, we’ll review your options and discuss any questions you have about fees or payment plans.

Q: How Soon Will I See Results?

A: The timeline for seeing results from therapy varies from person to person. Many clients report improvements within a few sessions, especially as they begin to implement new tools learned in therapy. For deeper issues like trauma, relationship challenges, or anxiety, a long-term approach may be required. We’ll work with you to set realistic expectations and encourage regular assessments to celebrate progress along the way.

Q: What Can I Do to Get the Most Out of Therapy?

A: We are so glad you are dedicated to getting the most out of your sessions. Your active participation and dedication will be crucial to your success! If you approach therapy with a sincere desire to change and work towards a better life, then the changes will be almost immediate in many cases. We look forward to meeting you!
