Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. Beginning therapy can feel daunting, but feeling nervous is entirely natural. Therapy is a new experience for many, and it’s normal to feel uncertain about sharing personal thoughts and emotions. At Kind Space, we work to create a warm, safe environment where you can open up at your own pace. Our goal is to support you through this process and make you feel as comfortable as possible, so that therapy becomes a space you can rely on for growth and support. 

Yes, we offer flexible virtual sessions, allowing you to engage in therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space. We understand that weekly appointments may not fit everyone’s schedule or needs, so we can adjust frequency based on what works best for you. Whether you're looking for weekly support or a customized plan, we’re here to find the right balance that aligns with your goals. 

The first session is designed to help you feel comfortable and build trust. It’s a time to explore your reasons for starting therapy, discuss any past experiences, and share what you hope to achieve. Together, we’ll go over your concerns and questions, giving you a sense of how we can work together. This initial session is about establishing a connection and setting the foundation for meaningful, collaborative work in the sessions to come. 

Individual counseling sessions are generally 50 minutes at a rate of $200. For clients needing extended time, we offer longer sessions. Therapy is an investment in your well-being, and we’re committed to transparency about costs. For more details on other services or additional options, please see our Services dropdown, where you’ll find information tailored to specific needs and session formats. 

We are currently in-network with Aetna, which may simplify billing for Aetna-covered clients. For those with other insurance, we can provide monthly superbills to help facilitate reimbursement as an out-of-network provider. Many clients find that partial reimbursements are available; however, we encourage you to check your specific benefits to understand your options fully. 

We understand that life can be unpredictable, but consistency is key in therapy. We require at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling to avoid the full session fee. This policy ensures that we can maintain availability for all clients, respecting both your time and the time reserved specifically for you. This commitment helps us maintain a stable schedule and provide the highest quality of care for all clients.

Therapy is more than a self-care session—it’s a meaningful commitment to self-growth. Unlike activities like massages or spa days, which offer short-term relaxation, therapy involves deeper, ongoing work. It requires you to actively engage, reflect, and sometimes confront uncomfortable emotions. Real progress comes through consistency and dedication, as well as a willingness to explore and address complex issues. This commitment leads to lasting changes, empowering you to build resilience, improve well-being, and navigate life’s challenges more effectively. 

Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of the therapeutic process. This means that what you share in therapy stays private, creating a safe space for open and honest exploration of your thoughts and feelings. Your therapist is bound by professional ethics and legal obligations to maintain this privacy. Only in rare, legally mandated circumstances—such as immediate safety concerns or court orders—would information be disclosed. Our commitment to confidentiality ensures that you can speak freely and trust that your privacy is fully protected.
