At our center, we provide professional and personalized
counseling services. We seek growth and progression with each client by applying psychological principles
that are grounded in spiritual values. We want to provide services to help you feel safe to explore therapeutic help, without sacrificing your spiritual
beliefs and ideals, whatever they may be. Our common belief is that God helps people in their healing.
We work hard to create an environment that is safe and supportive - where a strong healthy relationship
between the therapist and the client can promote healing, peace and positive change.
About Therapy
There is a real possibility that you may feel worse at-times in therapy than when you started. This is because you may have to address some uncomfortable and painful issues. This is normal and should be anticipated. The length of therapy is determined by you. The amount of work that you are willing to do determines the speed and direction of your therapy. Your therapist will make recommendations for continued service, but feel free to give your input as-well.
Limits to Confidentiality
Although confidence is very strict in therapy, there are some occasions when confidentiality must be broken:
Appointments
Sessions are 45-55 minutes in length, beginning 10-15 minutes after the hour. The therapists at Canyon Counseling Center try to see their clients promptly at the appointment time scheduled. They request that you also be responsible for keeping appointments on time. If you are late, your sessions will be shortened. Please do not bring young children to therapy. In case of appointments not kept or canceled with less than 24 hours notices, you will be charged in-full for that session. Insurance and other third-party providers do not cover missed session charges. (Emergency exceptions made).
Insurance Billing
We only bill for the following insurances: DMBA, EMI, Blue Cross, PEHP, and Select Health. If your insurance is not listed, we will gladly provide you with all documentation to allow you to be reimbursed by your insurance if you have a mental health benefit.
Court Appearances
Due to our heavy clinical schedules, and as a matter of policy, we do not testify in civil or criminal court proceedings. We will, however, supply the court and/or attorneys with a written summary of therapy if the client should so-desire. A signed release of information is required for each summary to be supplied.
Phone Calls
Therapists will try to return phone calls as quickly as possible. Because the therapists have limited time between sessions, please be aware that calls may be returned at the end of the day or the following day. Issues that require more than 10 minutes on the phone may require a scheduled office visit.
