Common Questions & Answers

Q. What usually happens in a first session?
A. A first session provides an opportunity to share what's going on now that is motivating you to seek counseling. It also provides an opportunity to start developing a relationship with your counselor and to determine if it is a good fit. A first session can also be a time to discuss what treatment may look like, given the symptoms and issues that are present, and to develop a treatment plan with goals and objectives that are specific to your presenting problems. 

Q. Do you take insurance?
A. Mindful Therapy Nashville practitioners do not accept insurance. However, many insurance providers will reimburse for "out of network providers" with a superbill, which we can provide. Please check with your individual insurance provider. Mindful Therapy Nashville offers a sliding scale in order to be accessible for those with or without insurance to pay privately. 

Q. How does the sliding scale work?
A. Mindful Therapy Nashville strives to be as accessible as possible, and so each practitioner designates a portion of their work for those who are not able to pay the full fees. The sliding scale is based on income/resources. If finances are a barrier to counseling, please feel free to inquire about the sliding scale option.
