The 15 minute call is a free consultation call to discuss what you’re looking for from counseling and to see if we’re a good fit. At the end of the call, if we decide to move forward together, our team will send you our intake paperwork and a link to the client portal. Once the paperwork is filled out, we will schedule an intake appointment.

We offer both virtual and in-person services.

You have several options to find the right fit:

• Book a free 15-minute consultation directly with the clinician of your choosing.

• Take our quiz (coming soon) to see which clinician might be the best match for your needs.

• If you'd prefer, you can also email or call us to speak with our admin, who will help narrow down which clinician is the best fit based on your situation.

Yes, we provide parent education sessions for families looking to better understand and support their children. These sessions are particularly helpful for families managing conditions like OCD, ADHD, Autism, or ARFID. We also offer family therapy as part of our treatment plans when needed.

In the first session, we'll discuss your concerns, symptoms, and treatment goals. We'll explain the therapeutic approach and answer any questions you have. It's also an opportunity for us to get to know each other and establish a therapeutic relationship.

We understand how frustrating it can be when therapy doesn’t seem to make progress. At Layers Counseling Specialists, our clinicians specialize in treating clients who have struggled with therapy in the past. We use advanced, evidence-based approaches to address specific diagnoses, so you receive the tools and support you need to make meaningful changes.

At this time, we are an out-of-network provider. However, we are happy to provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

We recommend contacting your insurance provider to better understand your out-of-network benefits.

At Layers Counseling Specialists, we prioritize both our clients' care and the well-being of our clinicians. By staying out-of-network, we can offer high-quality, personalized treatment that isn’t restricted by insurance limitations. This allows us to spend more time with each client, use the most effective therapeutic methods, and maintain complete confidentiality.

We also care deeply about our clinicians. To prevent burnout and ensure manageable caseloads, we strive to offer fair compensation for their expertise. Training to become a specialist is both expensive and time-consuming, and unfortunately, insurance companies don’t often reimburse fairly for this level of specialized work. This is why we created our dual Specialist and Focused Clinician model—so we can make specialized care more accessible while ensuring our clinicians are supported.

To further increase access, each clinician offers a limited number of sliding scale spots. If cost is a concern, please ask about our sliding scale options during your consultation.

Yes, client confidentiality is a top priority. Information shared during counseling sessions is kept strictly confidential, except in situations where there's a risk of harm to yourself or others.

As counseling specialists, we can not prescribe medication.

However, we believe in a collaboartive approach and frequently work with psychiatrists and other medical professionals if medication is part of your treatment plan.

We require at least 24 hours’ notice. Full session fees apply for late cancellations or no-shows.

Please inform your clinician as soon as possible. Clinicians can wait up to 15 minutes past your appointment start time, after which the session will be considered a late cancellation.

Finding an in-network OCD specialist can sometimes be challenging due to several factors. Firstly, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a specialized area within mental health, and not all therapists have extensive training or experience in treating it. This limited availability of specialized practitioners can make it harder to find one within your insurance network.

Additionally, the demand for mental health services, including OCD treatment, often outweighs the available supply of professionals. As a result, many specialists might have full schedules or limited availability, making it difficult to find an in-network specialist who can accommodate your needs and preferences.

Furthermore, insurance networks vary in terms of coverage and reimbursement rates. Some OCD specialists might choose not to be part of certain networks due to contractual restrictions or lower reimbursement rates, which can further limit your options for in-network care.

However, it's important to note that even if you can't find an in-network specialist, out-of-network options and other payment arrangements, like utilizing a superbill for reimbursement, can still provide you with access to the high-quality treatment you need for managing OCD effectively.

We understand the challenges you might face in finding the right OCD specialist, and we're here to provide the support you need to overcome these obstacles and receive the treatment that best suits your unique situation.
