Common FAQs
At Lionhearted Counseling, we understand that the journey to mental and emotional well-being often begins with questions. Whether you're curious about our therapy methods, insurance matters, or confidentiality protocols, we're here to provide clarity. Dive into some of the most frequently asked questions we receive, accompanied by our answers.
Does Lionhearted Counseling take insurance?
We are not an in-network insurance provider. However, we can give you the documentation you need to be reimbursed by your insurance company.
We’ve tried couples therapy before and it didn’t help. Is there any point in trying again?
It’s not uncommon for couples who haven’t had success in couples therapy to make surprising progress when they try again. Sometimes, it’s because they are now at a different emotional place where they are more willing to make changes and sometimes it’s just because they find a therapist to whom they have an easier time relating. We are trained in both EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and Imago forms of therapy, which are quite different from other forms of couples therapy, so if you are looking for something different, then give us a call.
How long will it be before I start seeing results?
It’s impossible to give an answer that will be accurate for every client. However, we place a great emphasis on making real change as efficiently as possible. Many of my clients are surprised by how quickly they can make changes in their life, including ones who have seen many different therapists.
I have an addiction to sex or pornography and am worried that starting therapy will compromise my confidentiality:
You can rest assured that anything you reveal in therapy will stay in therapy. The only exception is if you disclose illegal behavior depending on your state’s laws. Before we start therapy, we will explain to you the legal limits of our confidentiality.
What is a CSAT?
CSAT stands for Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. A CSAT has specialized training in treating sex addiction, which may allow them to give more effective help and notice things other therapists will miss. There are only a few CSATs in South Florida.
