Services Offered / Pricing

Cash, check, and all major credit cards are accepted. If you have a Health Savings Account with a Visa or Mastercard logo, that can be accepted and run through as credit as well. Handouts are used throughout the session, so a notebook or folder that you can put the handouts in is recommended.

Sometimes, it is prudent to jumpstart and/or compact the change process based on individual circumstances and/or time constraints.

Phone Advice/Coaching Sessions:

Phone Advice/Coaching sessions are for anyone over the age of 18. Sessions are 50 minutes in length, and the cost is $200.00 per session. Double Phone Advice/Coaching sessions are offered for $400.00 (double sessions must be booked when setting the appointment). The process for setting a Phone Advice/Coaching session is as follows:
-
Fill out the Request a Service form on the website or call the office at (813)362-0939 to set an appointment time.
-
When a Phone Advice/Coaching session has been set, (usually within 24 hours of the request unless it is the weekend), our office will call you to process the pre-payment (pre-payment is required for Phone Advice/Coaching sessions).
-
Once you have scheduled and the payment has been processed for your Phone Advice/Coaching session, you will receive a phone call from Laurel at the appointed time from the office phone number (813) 362-0939 for your Phone Advice/Coaching session.

Important Notice
Phone Advice/Coaching is not counseling or therapy. Our correspondence does not meet the criteria for a therapeutic relationship; it does not and cannot take the place or provide the value of face-to-face counseling or therapy. This correspondence via phone is designed to provide limited advice and input to help you glean an expanded perspective and formulate a plan of action with a particular problem or circumstance. It is recommended that you also find a local, trained, licensed, Christian counselor/therapist with whom you can engage in the therapeutic process. To find a counselor/therapist, you can call local churches to see whom they refer to for counseling/therapy or visit the American Association of Christian Counselors website.
