Frequently Asked Questions
+ What kind of therapy does Rock Creek Counseling offer?
We offer an array of therapies, customized to each client and their unique needs. We will work with you to design a care plan that makes sense for you!
+ Does Rock Creek Counseling take insurance?

+ What can I expect in my first session?
Your first session is a meet and greet. You will get to meet your provider face to face and share what brings you to therapy. Your therapist will be an active listener and ask some questions. You will discuss a diagnosis, treatment options, and a plan for how therapy can help. It is up to you to decide if you want to continue on and schedule ongoing therapy.
+ How long is a course of therapy?
There is no one standard duration of therapy. A course of therapy is as unique as the person seeking it. It is up to you to decide when to end your therapy. Some people have a small problem that resolves in a short time, others need ongoing support. There is no one "right" way to do therapy.
+ When will I feel better?
It can be hard to predict when a person will feel better because each person's situation is unique. When you feel better depends on a lot of variables. We're taught through popular media that change happens in moments of intense inspiration - the lightening bolt moment. IN reality, while moments like these happen, they are rare. For most people, change is gradual. So gradual that they don't always realize it's happening. Most people will look back and realize they're doing much better than they were before, but are unsure how or when that happened.
