Questions patients ask

Frequent Questions

How does therapy help?

Psychotherapy offers a safe, confidential space where you can process emotional pain, life struggles,  relationship concerns, and mental health issues, among many other things. It is a professional relationship between you and a therapist, with the purpose of improving your overall health and satisfaction with life. Here, you can develop tools and resources to overcome difficult challenges and obstacles in life.

What can I expect from therapy?

Therapy is all about helping you achieve your goals and getting to a point where you feel satisfied and content with how life is going. When we meet, we can explore your goals and what you want in order to get the most of therapy. We are not here to give you advice or tell you exactly what to do in every situation. We’re here to collaborate with you and provide you with the tools and resources to help you get to where you want to be.

How often do I need therapy?

Counseling isn’t meant to last for an eternity. We can help you achieve the goals that you want to accomplish for yourself, in a timeframe that suits your needs. In the beginning , we usually recommend meeting once per week for therapy. As you successfully work toward accomplishing your goals, we can continually collaborate on how often you may need therapy. Whether you are seeking individual or marriage counseling services, the goal of therapy is to help you develop tools that you can use for the rest of your life!

Do you take insurance?

Anchor Point Professional Counseling is currently in network with most health insurance plans in the DMV area including: Kaiser Permanente, Johns Hopkins Health Plans, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Quest Behavioral Health. If you do not have any of these health insurance providers, you will receive a reimbursement form to submit to your insurance and get partial reimbursement for your sessions.  Before scheduling an appointment, check with your healthcare provider for more information about your out of network benefits.

Do you offer faith-based counseling?

Yes! We offer Christian counseling services, only to those who are seeking it out. As therapists, our role is to operate within the ethical and moral framework of each individual. Although we can offer theologically sound Christian counseling services, these services are only limited to those who request it.

Do you prescribe medications for mental health disorders?

We do not prescribe medications for patients at this time. However, Anchor Point Professional Counseling is partnered with a wide range of Psychiatrists and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, who can prescribe psychiatric medications, in the DMV area. One of the biggest barriers for receiving medications to treat mental health disorders is money. We believe that anyone who needs medications should have access to it, so we have partnered with psychiatric healthcare professionals who are in network with most health insurance plans.
