What to expect
Entering into a therapy or counseling process can feel foreign, even scary. Whether you are beginning to work with us as an individual, couple or a family, it is important that you feel relaxed and safe. Here is what you can expect:
It has likely taken a great deal of courage to make this call. It is our goal to make you feel safe and relaxed as you navigate these next steps. When you call the Center for Relational Excellence Paula, our Practice Administrator, will greet you. Paula will talk with you about the type of services you are seeking, our fees, office location and scheduling. She will arrange a free confidential telephone consultation with Dr. Regier where you will have a chance to get to know each other and see if Dr. Regier and our services will best meet your needs for therapy, counseling or coaching. A good fit for both the therapist and the client is the first step toward a successful therapeutic outcome. If the decision is made to take the next step, Paula will set up an appointment for your first session.
After the initial screening call with Dr. Regier, Paula will set up your first appointment. Generally we see couples on a weekly basis. Though not always practical, we attempt to lock in a repeating appointment time each week. We have found that the commitment and accountability to that time slot is a positive piece of the therapy or counseling process.
After your initial phone call with Dr. Regier, Paula will send you links for registration on this site as well as a link to complete and submit your intake paperwork online. If you have any questions, Paula will be happy to walk you through the process.
All sessions are 55 minutes. When working with new couples Dr. Regier has individual sessions with each member of the couple prior to the first couple session. Dr. Regier sees couples on a weekly or bi-weekly basis as mutually agreed upon. Session frequency can change as the work progresses.
Dr. Regier’s fee is $250 for a 55-minute session. We take full payment at the time of each session. We do not contract with or bill any insurance companies. However, we will provide you with a statement (Super Bill) that you may submit to your insurance carrier for applicable reimbursement.
Your appointment time is reserved for you! If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, and you have not notified us at least 48 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session. Notice of cancellation for Monday or Tuesday sessions is required on the previous Friday.
