Appointments and Fees
Counseling appointments last approximately 50 minutes. The initial appointment is focused on gathering information and evaluation of the issues. Appointments are available weekdays and weeknights. Saturday appointments may be available on an as-needed basis. You may schedule an appointment by emailing Karen at karencounselingassociates@gmail.com or by calling the office at 618-281-9282. You may leave a confidential message and we will return your call within 24 hours.
The fee for counseling is $150 per session. We are happy to work with you on a payment plan, if necessary.
Your health insurance may cover all or part of the fees, even if we are out of network with a specific plan. It is important to check with your carrier to know your benefits. We will submit claims electronically to your insurance company, but it is important for you to be involved in the management of services as well.
Your employer may offer a benefit to you called EAP (Employee Assistant Program or Plan). This benefit could give you a set number of free counseling sessions. Ask your employer about it.
