If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling with emotions or life situations, counseling can be beneficial! Therapy does NOT mean that something is wrong with you. A lot of times, we just need a little more than our well-meaning friends, family, spouse, or religious figures can give. No matter what is going on in your life, there is always room for growth and introspection.

We encourage everyone to participate in therapy throughout their life! This is a journey with no final stop. If you are considering starting therapy, or have people in your life encouraging you, reach out for an initial consultation!

Making the decision to participate in psychotherapy is a difficult task! It is totally normal to be nervous, apprehensive, skeptical, & even a little embarrassed before coming to therapy. There is a lot of stigma attached to it and your feelings are understandable. However, we often hear from clients that the experience is not what they expected (in a good way)!

During your intake session, your therapist will likely ask questions about your current concerns, your background, and what you're hoping to achieve in therapy. This first session is a time for both of you to get to know one another and decide how best to move forward. It's also a chance for you to ask any questions about the counseling process.

At Ray of Light, we work hard to create a comfortable, friendly atmosphere for the work to occur. Most people feel relieved after their initial visit. You can expect to work hard, think outside of the box, and be open to change.

At Ray of Light, our therapists are trained with a foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is an evidence-based approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. However, each therapist brings their own unique style, clinical experience, and additional training/certifications to their work. This means that your therapy will be tailored to your individual needs and goals!

We understand that finding the right therapeutic fit is important. Feel free to reach out for a consultation to see if one of our therapists is a good match for you!

As a courtesy, you can cancel or reschedule an appointment for no charge as long as you provide 24 hours notice. If you cancel an appointment within less than the 24 hours notice, please be advised there will be a late cancel charge.

If for some reason you fail to show up for your scheduled appointment without notice, you will be charged the designated session fee.

There are no exceptions. If, for any reason, you cannot make it to your scheduled appointment, please try to contact your therapist at your earliest convenience. All late cancel/no show fees are at the client’s expense as the insurance company will not be billed or responsible.

Late Cancel Fee: $35.00

No Show Fee: $50.00 Please keep in mind that your chart may be closed if you are inactive for 30 days or more.

If you are more than 15 minutes late for your session, you may be assessed a no-show or late cancel fee. Appointments are scheduled consecutively and, if you are running late, it will interrupt/shorten your time and possibly throw off the following appointments.

Insurance carriers have a time minimum we must meet to be billed, if you are too late, it is a possibility that insurance will not be able to be billed.

We understand that things happen and will do our best to work with you! Please try to contact your therapist at your earliest convenience if you are running late.

There may be times during the course of your treatment when you may request documents to be completed by your clinician for a variety of reasons, including FMLA, disability, reasonable accommodations, mental health status, firearm assessment, etc.

In such cases, we only provide documentation for clients who have been participating in treatment consistently (limited no shows, reschedules, etc.) for a minimum of 3 months, and sometimes longer.

We are committed to assisting you with getting the support you need. However, to adequately provide this information, we need to obtain a full clinical assessment, which can only be obtained over time during course of treatment. All requests must be submitted in writing with the intended purpose included.
