What can I expect at my first appointment?

During the first session our goal is to connect with you, to get a picture of what life looks like for you, and to find out the goals that you would like to accomplish through counseling.

Are you a faith based counseling practice?

We bring faith based integration into our sessions as much as you would like to have it a part of your process. Our heart is to meet people where they are in their journey and not to push an agenda. Not every person is in a place where they want to integrate their faith into their process. Our first goal is to help you with your mental health needs and create goals that work for you.

Will you throw Bible verses at me for everything?

No! We come from a research based mindset in all of our approaches. If you want scripture included in some of your homework or goals, let your counselor know. We also understand that many people have been deeply hurt by verses being used to “correct” their way of “thinking”, this approach has caused a lot of harm. Our heart and approach is to bring healing through the therapeutic relationship not to push the Bible or faith based agendas..

Is a counseling intern trained enough to help me?

We believe at Joanna Snow Ministries, that a huge part of healing and change is found in the connection that you receive with your counselor. It is amazing how freeing it can feel to have a space to begin to process openly and be seen. Each of our counselors is picked because of their ability to connect well with people, driven to learn, and that they have walked some life themselves. Each case is overseen by Joanna Snow, MA LPC-S, she provides each intern with direction on treatment planning, training, and clinical insight for each person who walks through our doors. Often times an intern can be a great place for counseling because they are fresh with ideas and eager to grow. At the basis for everything is the research in our field of Professional Counseling and how best to come alongside people with what ever they are walking through. Your intern will not be giving you “their” advice but proven tools to help and research based techniques.

How much are the counseling sessions?

Each session is $40 and lasts approximately 50 minutes.
