Where are you located?
I am in Lincolnton, North Carolina.
I don't live near Lincolnton, or can't get there frequently. What are my options?
I can only see clients who are in North Carolina at this time. But if you are in North Carolina and are appropriate and willing to participate in online counseling, that is definitely an option.
How much do you charge for sessions?
I hate it when companies don't have full transparency on their websites of their pricing. I know pricing is important for a lot of people, especially in today's economy. However, please look at your mental health as important as your physical health, because it is! Prioritize yourself so you can live your life to the best of your ability.
If you are self-pay, as of January 2026, I charge $100 per session. Sessions are approximately an hour. Self-pay clients can request extended-length sessions for an increased cost if they feel as if they need more time in session.
Fees will be discussed prior to the first session and are due at the time of each session. Late cancel/no-show charges are also enforceable at $75 per session canceled within 24 hours. However, I always give grace and understand life happens, and certainly don't want you in the office sick! The policy is there for those who repeatedly cancel late or no-show appointments. The cancelation fee is to be used at my discretion. Before or at your first appointment you will receive written documentation, and agree to, information regarding pricing and payment policies to comply with the No Surprises Act.
What types of payments do you accept?
I accept cash, card, and/or HSA/FSA plans. You do not have to pay the same way each session, but I do require that you have a card on file. Before your first appointment, I will have you fill out a Payment Authorization Form via my HIPAA-compliant electronic medical records system, Therapy Notes, that enables you to provide your card information without me having access to the specifics of it. As needed, I will bill your card on file. Any time you need to edit your card on file, you have access in your client portal to complete a new Payment Authorization Form.
If you are billing your insurance, you will be made aware of your copay or other insurance-related cost, if any, prior to beginning therapy. Your cost (whether it be a copay or coinsurance), if any, will be billed on the day of your session(s).
So you do accept insurance now???
As of April 2026, YES!! I currently accept Aetna (including Aetna's NC State Health Plan), Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Providence Health Plan. As of October 2026, I will be active with Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina.
If you have insurance and do not wish to bill your insurance, for whatever reason, please inform me prior to scheduling.
If for some reason you need to seek reimbursement for services from your health insurance company, I will be happy to provide appropriate documentation for you. Please inform me prior to scheduling if you need said documentation. Please note that reimbursement will be determined by the individual healthcare policy at the time the claim is received and Red Sea Road Counseling has no bearing on that determination. It is recommended that you contact your health insurance provider prior to beginning services to determine if you are eligible for reimbursement, if you are seeking reimbursement.
Do you have to have a card on file to schedule services?
As of September 2026, you do not have to have a card on file to schedule services, but you do have to have a card on file by the day of your first appointment. See above for more information.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.
