Whatever your reasons for coming, therapy provides a safe space to explore memories, behaviors, feelings, & relationships—with a trusted professional who is for you.  Therapy can help you put words to things that have been confusing or burdensome.  It can give you perspective from multiple sources and healing lenses from the field of psychology.  It can remind you who you truly are.  It can explore who God is and how he is at work in your situation.  And it ensures that you aren’t alone as you move toward growth.

Most persons do counseling weekly or bi-weekly (every-other week).  We recommend clients enter counseling to do a focused-work on an area of their life, instead of coming occasionally or infrequently.  When clients have chosen to see us 1x/month (or less often), it can be difficult to make progress or see growth.  When this occurs, it sometimes feels that counseling is a time of “catching up” (because so much life has happened since we saw you last), instead of a focused work toward your goals.

We see clients at local offices in Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland, Snohomish, Marysville, and Fall City. View them at our locations page!

Yes!  We have many clients who prefer to do counseling from the comfort & convenience of their own home.

Our rates start at $165/hourly session.  See more at our Rates page.

Most of our clients pay for therapy without using insurance. However, when clients are able to receive reimbursement through their insurance benefits, it can be a win-win!

Currently, several of our counselors are credentialed with Premera, which means we are able to bill Premera insurance directly for therapy sessions with those clinicians. Because these spots are limited, availability for Premera clients may vary.

For other clients (with different insurances), we offer billing-after-service, meaning you pay for sessions at the time of your appointment and we provide a Superbill that can be submitted to your insurance for reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits. In our experience, many insurance companies will reimburse a portion of the session cost (sometimes up to 80%), though coverage varies depending on your specific plan.

You can quickly check your potential out-of-network benefits by using the Insurance Checker tool on our Rates page!

Yes, you can!  Many clients have used HSA to pay for counseling.  You may need to confirm that your HSA provider has included therapy as an eligible health cost (i.e. some providers may include psychiatric care but not counseling).

Absolutely! Counseling is at-will. You can start or stop whenever you like.

We also offer free consults before your first full session, to determine fit!

This is an important question!  You can read about this in-depth on Our Approach page.

Yes. New Ground Counseling provides Christian and faith-based counseling for clients who wish to integrate their faith into therapy. You can read more about how we do this (& how therapy helps) on the Our Approach Page.

Although it is true that each of our counselors have Christian commitments, we see many non-religious clients and follow the lead of each individual (as to whether they want religious ideas/practices to be a part of the counseling process).  For some clients, spirituality is a big part of their counseling, and others not at all.  We understand spiritual decisions like this to be highly personal.  We also believe that some people need spirituality to stay out of counseling for them to heal.
