Counseling Rates, Cost of Couples Counseling, and Insurance Information in Reno

Costs of Couple Therapy and Individual Counseling, Reno NV

FREE CONSULTATION

The costs for couple therapy and individual counseling we do in Reno are detailed below. At ERHA, we provide a no-cost, confidential initial phone consultation with a therapist in Reno. This consultation provides you an opportunity to openly share your current concerns and learn how we'll approach therapy in your case. We will also discuss the cost of therapy over the entire course of treatment.

INVESTING IN THERAPY: OUR FEES

Our standard session fees range from $120 to $210. Fees are based primarily on the therapist, and the level of training and experience of the therapist. To help make the cost of therapy in Reno, NV accessible, we may be able to grant sliding-scale reductions based on individual circumstances and needs. We understand therapy is a considerable, albeit very wise investment in your and/or your family's well being and future. We will make sure you understand total treatment costs before you start therapy.

Effective January 1, 2022 under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, a ruling went into effect called the “No Surprises Act” which requires practitioners to provide a “Good Faith Estimate” about out-of-network care. At ERHA, we work from a place of transparency regarding the cost of therapy sessions and the therapist and client collaborate together on length of treatment and overall care.

INSURANCE

We are contracted with a limited number of insurance providers, including Hometown Health Plan in Reno. Many insurance companies limit coverage for couples and the licensure of the therapist for reimbursement so make sure to verify your specific insurance plan for details. We do accept HSA or FSA (health or flex savings account) payment.

Please read this article for a comprehensive guide to help you learn what amount your insurance will cover for therapy. You can also email us to receive a printable version.

Insurance plans often exhibit variations in reimbursement rates, distinguishing between “in-network” and “out-of-network” providers. If we categorize as out-of-network providers, we will compile a comprehensive service record ("superbill") for you, smoothing the path for your reimbursement process. Furthermore, we encourage you to reach out to your plan administrator, generally accessible via the number on your insurance card, to obtain details regarding your mental healthcare reimbursement policies.

Below, we have outlined a series of questions to assist you in talking about coverage with your carrier:

  • Do I qualify for mental health insurance benefits?
  • Does my plan cover services for relationship/marriage issues?
  • Have I met my deductible?
  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance allow?
  • What coverage does my plan offer per therapy session, and what will be my out-of-pocket expense?
  • Does my primary care physician need to approve the therapy sessions?

We can discuss this with you during the free consultation call with one of our therapists in Reno.

PAYMENT

Payment for costs of couple therapy and individual counseling in Reno: We accommodate a range of payment methods for your convenience, including cash, check, Zelle, debit, and major credit cards. Please be aware that payment is due at the time of service unless you have arranged a different agreement.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Your scheduled time is reserved exclusively for you. In the event of cancellation we need adequate time to offer the spot to clients on our waiting list. We respectfully require a minimum of 48 hours' notice if you intend to cancel a session for any reason. This policy exists to enable us to manage our schedule effectively, ensuring that we can accommodate all clients. If a session is missed without adequate notice, we will charge the full cost of the session. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Counseling with Reno Therapist Cornelius Sheehan, LCSW

About me as a therapist:

For more than 20 years, I have worked with couples and individuals. I understand how important it is to have a secure, connected, and hopeful relationship. I specialize in attachment-based, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for marriages, couples, families, and individuals in Reno. I am certified as an Emotionally Focused Therapist and Supervisor.

I use primarily EFT in my work with couples, individuals, and families. I appreciate its effectiveness, research-based approach, and strong theoretical foundation. A few years ago, I started Emotional and Relationship Health Counseling Associates in Reno, NV.

I have had the privilege of helping hundreds of couples and families repair ruptures and connect again. I have helped many people become more self-aware and accepting. I support them in dealing with depression, anxiety, and relationship problems.

Attachment theory’s empathy, curiosity, and non-judgmental stance align with my natural style. Although I bring expertise in therapy, you are the expert on your life and goals. Thus, I commit to approaching our work together with humility and curiosity.

One of my proudest achievements is starting a counseling program for inmates at the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office in 20014. We developed a novel and highly successful program to help reduce recidivism, especially for “failure to comply” violations. The program was funded by inmate purchases. I actively participated in these programs until 2011, when I dedicated myself full-time to private practice.

About me as a person:

always remember being profoundly curious about people and relationships. We are all so complex, with so much happening beneath the surface.

I find this complexity fascinating. I feel lucky that my interest has guided me to a profession I love. Moreover, it motivates me to stay current with changes in the field.

My wife Tammy and I live with our three rescue dogs. We have three adult children. Born in San Francisco, I have lived briefly in a few different places, but Reno has always remained home base.

For years, I’ve had “boots on the ground” involvement with many facets of the mental health care needs of our community. This has provided me a rounded perspective about the particular relationship counseling needs of people in our local community.

Relationship Therapist in Reno

Hello, I’m Amanda Stewart, a relationship therapist in Reno. I work with couples, individuals and families. I was born and raised in Florida. However, after moving out west following graduation from college, I fell in love with this area and have made Reno my home ever since. I have been licensed as a clinical social worker and practicing therapy since 2002. I am ICEEFT Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist and supervisor for clinical social work interns. My undergraduate work was completed in 1995 at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia.

I am passionate about my work with couples, individuals and children and their families. Emotionally Focused Therapy, EFT, has been an ideal way to bring Attachment Theory to my work with all of these clients. EFT has also been a very natural fit for me as a person. It lends to compassion, openness, non-judgment, and meaningful change. It also fits our practice mission of providing a caring and effective therapy. Finally, I love having the EFT roadmap that lets me communicate clearly with my clients about where we are in the change process.

Meet Helen, Relationship Therapist in Reno

Hi, I’m Helen Going, LCSW, therapist in Reno. I am a licensed clinical social worker with advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy. I received a Master of Social Work at UNR. I completed my clinical internship locally. Subsequently, I have worked with a wide variety of clients in a variety of settings in Northern Nevada. As a lifelong learner, I continually grow the skills I bring to my counseling practice. I have extensive lived-experience. So, I have a deep appreciation for the distress that emotional and relationship difficulties can cause. I am dedicated to helping.

Why I Do Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy

For me, there is nothing more wonderful than seeing a couple see each other in a brand-new way, with them each understanding the struggles of the other in a way that is manageable and creative. I love empowering people to connect joyfully and effectively with themselves and their loved ones.

Emotionally Focused Therapy, EFT, has been an ideal fit for me. I have had training in several different treatment modalities, but EFT is the model that has become the foundation of my work. It fits what drove me to this work. Additionally, it’s totally in line with my goal of providing a completely safe space for clients to experience themselves and their loved ones in new and different ways. EFT couple and individual therapy works. It is gentle. This way of working does not assign blame or pathology to partners but rather gets to the root of the disconnections within relationships. The attachment framework of EFT allows people move far beyond the set of “tips and tricks” that are not good therapy. Instead of saying the right things at the right time, etc., the work I do equips clients to identify and reframe the destructive patterns that underlie their relationship problems.

Why I Do Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy

As an EFT therapist in Reno, I work with individuals as well as couples. While EFT is renowned for its effectiveness in couples therapy, its principles of emotional awareness, expression, and connection are equally transformative for individuals navigating personal challenges.

I’m drawn to individual work because it allows me to delve into the unique experiences and emotional landscapes of each person. Whether someone is grappling with relationship issues, past traumas, anxiety, or depression, EFT provides a framework for understanding the root of these struggles and fostering healing.

In individual therapy, I help clients identify and express their emotions in a safe and supportive space. We explore the underlying needs and attachment patterns that may be contributing to their difficulties. By developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their emotional needs, individuals can begin to make more empowered choices in their relationships and life in general.

I’m passionate about empowering individuals to build healthier, more fulfilling relationships with themselves and others. Whether you’re currently in a relationship or not, individual EFT therapy can provide valuable tools for personal growth, emotional well-being, and creating lasting connections.

Here are answers to some of the most common questions people have about therapy with me.

Call 775-235-2205 and I’ll be happy to touch base with you to further discuss what’s happening for you and how I can be of help. The session rate for therapy with Helen is $165 per 55-minutes.
