Frequently Asked Questions

What does Anima counseling mean?

Anima is Latin for soul; breath. Anima translates in other languages. Carl Gustav Jung believed that “the anima was an individuals inner most true of the self.”

Why does the logo have a butterfly with a brain?

In therapy, the butterfly represents transformation and growth. Just like a caterpillar undergoes a significant change to become a beautiful butterfly, our therapeutic journey often involves personal growth and discovering new strengths. This symbol encourages us to embrace change, resilience, and the beauty that can emerge from our challenges. Each step you take in therapy is part of your unique transformation, leading to a brighter, more authentic version of yourself.

How long should I expect to be in therapy?

Each person's journey is unique, so the way we approach your treatment will depend on your individual needs, the challenges you're facing, and what feels right for you. We'll collaborate to find the best path forward together, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. If you would like to stick to 12 weeks or 6 months feel free to let me know and we can work on a plan that feels right to you.

Yes, I do. However those slots often fill up quickly and have limited openings. If this is something you’re interested in, please be sure to ask about it during our consultation call.

WHY IS THERAPY EXPENSIVE?

It is a common question. The cost reflects the experience, training, business expenses, certifications, education and time that goes into providing quality care. Therapists invest years in investing and ongoing professional development to offer you the best support possible.

HOW OFTEN DO WE MEET?

Frequency varies from each patient depending on their unique needs and scheduling. It can be once/twice a week, every two weeks.

Normally sessions are 50 minutes. However if more time is needed additional costs will be added to session.

Do you offer in person counseling?

At this time I currently only offer online therapy.

IS ONLINE THERAPY A FIT FOR ME?

Online therapy is not for everyone. During the consultation call I will assess if online therapy is a fit. In the case that online therapy is not the best option for you I will explore other resources that will offer in person therapeutic services.

WHAT IS YOUR INTAKE PROCESS LIKE?

From the initial call I will obtain an email address from you to send you a client portal link from Simple Practice.

You will also provide consent for telehealth therapy and get to review the policies of Anima Counseling and Coaching. Lastly you will include information for payment. Any questions you have about these forms will and should be discussed in the first 50 min therapy session.
