FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

The number of sessions required to achieve your goals cannot be predetermined. Your unique circumstances necessitate a personalized plan that enables you to implement solutions effectively. However, we are committed to assisting you in setting attainable goals within reasonable timeframes that align with your needs. At Know Thyself Journey, we adopt a holistic approach to guide you in self-discovery and finding the answers you seek. Following each session, we provide you with a comprehensive overview in PDF format, which is emailed to you within 48 hours. This summary serves as a progress timeline, allowing you to track your journey, celebrate milestones, identify remaining work, and determine any necessary adjustments, changes, or additions. Typically, when there is a specific short-term goal that you are determined to achieve, we recommend an average of 6 to 8 sessions. After the initial two sessions, we can better assess how future sessions should be structured.

DO YOUR SESSIONS DIFFER FROM A PSYCHIATRIST / THERAPIST?

When it comes to assisting individuals in navigating life challenges, both life coaches and therapists offer valuable services. While their ultimate goal is to help people achieve positive changes and reach their goals, there are some distinctions between the two. Therapists are specifically trained to treat specific mental health disorders and may have the ability to prescribe psychotropic medications if necessary. On the other hand, as a spiritual and mental wellness coach, my role is to help individuals identify their goals and develop actionable plans to achieve them. I provide ongoing support and hold clients accountable to ensure they stay on track towards their desired outcomes. It is important to note that as a spiritual and mental wellness life coach, I possess a strong educational background in psychotherapy, with over 25 years of training and work experience. This enables me to address a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, stress management, and addiction, while incorporating a goal-focused approach.

At Know Thyself Journey, we believe in providing a hands-on approach to working with our clients. However, it is important to note that we are committed to upholding ethical principles and maintaining professional conduct in all aspects of our practice. Our approach may involve actively engaging with clients, offering practical guidance, and providing support throughout their journey. Nonetheless, we always prioritize the well-being and best interests of our clients while adhering to the ethical standards of our profession.

HOW DO I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT?

Scheduling a session with us is a straightforward process. Simply select the type of session you prefer and choose the most suitable date and time from our calendar, which displays available slots. We offer both video sessions and in-office sessions, and we are even open to meeting you at a coffee shop or park provided the travel distance is convenient for all parties involved. To secure your chosen time slot, it is important to make payment at the time of booking. For your convenience and security, we only accept online payments, which allows us to confirm and track all transactions efficiently. If you decide to switch from a Zoom session to an in-office session, please notify us within 48 hours to accommodate the change.

WILL MY HEALTH INSURANCE COVER MY SESSIONS?

We operate as a private pay business and do not accept insurance. However, we encourage you to check if your insurance flex pay option covers our services, as some companies may allow flex spending for the type of sessions we offer.

WHAT LOCATIONS DO YOU OFFER FOR YOUR SESSIONS?

Creating a positive and comfortable environment for our clients is of utmost importance to us. To accommodate your preferences, we offer both telehealth sessions and in-office sessions, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your comfort level. Our telehealth services are available to individuals in the USA as well as abroad, ensuring accessibility for clients worldwide. Additionally, for local clients, we are open to meeting you at a coffee shop, nature trail, or park as long as the location is convenient and safe for all parties involved. However, please note that we no longer offer house visits as part of our services.

DO YOU OFFER GRIEF COUNSELING?

As an ordained minister with specialized training and practical experience as a grief counselor for a hospice agency, I am equipped to provide comprehensive counseling services to individuals facing the challenges of grief. It is important to recognize that grief extends beyond the loss of a loved one. It can encompass various forms of loss, such as the end of a career, a relationship, or good health. Grief can manifest in response to any significant change or absence in our lives to which we still feel attached. I am here to offer support and guidance to individuals navigating the complex emotions and adjustments associated with grief, regardless of its source.
