Frequently asked Questions
What can I expect from our sessions?
During our sessions, I’ll ask questions and do a lot of listening. Together we will look for places in your story that offer insight into the struggle or highlight an area in need of healing. When we discover some of those areas, we’ll work together to get what you need and come up with an effective plan to help you take the next steps.
How much does counseling cost?
My fee is $145 per session.
No Risk Guarantee: If you decide that this is not a good fit for you during our initial session, then you will not be billed for that first appointment or the rest of the program.
Although my fee is comparable to other counselors in our area, I have set aside a limited number of sliding scale appointments available for those facing financial hardship. If you are interested in learning more about these slots, don’t hesitate to ask. If I am unable to accommodate your needs, I will be glad to refer you to a number of trusted counselors who may be able to do so.
Do you accept insurance?
Unfortunately, I do not bill insurance at this time. That is one of the reasons I offer some sliding scale slots for my counseling practice. I will also gladly send you a Superbill to submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
How long does counseling last?
Everyone tends to move at their own pace with this work. For some, issues are accessible, change is simple, and support is broad. For others, it may take a little longer. Once we begin, we will be in frequent dialogue about our session goals and unfinished business to determine how long counseling should last for you.
Is this Christian counseling?
I’m a person who tries to be more like Jesus every day. Many of my Christian clients have said that my counseling style has helped them find a deeper understanding of the Gospel and a closer walk with God, in addition to helping them overcome their personal challenges.
I also recognize that people of all faiths (and no faith) can struggle with life’s burdens. Everyone interested in being my client will be treated with empathy and respect and offered research-backed tools to help them take make the changes they desire, regardless of their background.
Do you see clients virtually online?
I can offer our work together in an online format via my secure telehealth portal. In the past, this has been effective way for some clients to receive the help they need when they would otherwise be hindered by convenience, distance, or illness.
About Pat Ward, LPC-S, BC-TMH
In my practice, I get excited when I see people walk away from struggle and shame into the life that God has for them. My practice integrates the skills I have sharpened in over 10,000 sessions, working with over 1,000 clients. I also draw from my experiences as a leader and former pastor to help people just like you navigate a wide range of challenges.
I am at my best when helping people work through anxiety, addictions, depression, transitions, OCD, and ADHD. I also really love working with couples and families through conflict and communication challenges. Finally, I enjoy helping leaders in business and ministry environments thrive, grow, and succeed.
I’ve been married for almost 20 years. I have 3 kids and I’m trying to get better at the New York Times crossword puzzle.
