FAQ’s
At Analog Counseling, we know starting therapy can be confusing and you might not feel your best. Feel free to ask us anything, anytime. We're here to talk with you!
How do I begin therapy?
Reach out! You can schedule an appointment by clicking the button on the home page, emailing, or calling us at 913-294-7769. If you prefer, you can also sign up for our newsletter for more information.
What is the parking situation like?
Parking at our office is convenient. You'll typically find spaces right in the front, and worst case scenario, you might have to park on the side. The building is single-story and has its own parking lot, so nothing is too far away.
How do I find your office?
When you arrive, go through the doors and down the hall, we are the last office suite on the left. You’ll see our logo right above our suite number 175 on the wall to the left of our door.
Just come inside and take a seat. Help yourself to some water from the beverage fridge while you wait for your appointment time.
How long are sessions?
Sessions are 50 minutes.
What is your cancellation policy?
48 hours in advance. If sessions are cancelled inside of 48 hours the session they are considered a late cancellation and will be charged for in full.
Do you take Insurance?
Some clinicians do and some do not. Make sure you check the bio of each person and schedule through the designated area for what you’re looking for (e.g. an insurance based session or a private pay session). Private pay sessions can provide Super Bills (the type of receipts insurance needs for submitting for potential out of network benefits you might be eligible for - please note it is your responsibility to file those and to be sure that they will be accepted). If you are working with Michael, please let him know what your insurance is, that way he can tell you if he takes that insurance (even if you are paying out of pocket, we would give you a waiver to sign to say you know we take your insurance but you are choosing to not use it).
What kind of payment forms do you take?
A credit card is required to be put on file. Most people pay with the card on file (you don’t have to do anything, it gets run by Analog after your session). However, cash and check are also accepted.
How long does therapy last?
Therapy duration can vary widely among individuals, but a rough estimate is anywhere from six months to several years with weekly sessions. We understand that this may seem like a significant commitment. In a world where instant gratification is often expected, therapy stands out for its slower, more deliberate approach.
At Analog Counseling, we emphasize the importance of this journey. True transformation is a process that demands time and effort. We believe in the value of therapy, which is why we engage in our own therapeutic work. If you are intrigued by the idea of embarking on this path with us, we invite you to reach out for a complimentary initial phone consultation to discuss this further.
