FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You can expect warmth, empathy, and an evidence-based approach to your identified needs. Therapy services are provided on an individual basis (e.g. group therapy is not currently offered). Logistically, the first session includes a discussion of: confidentiality and the limits of confidentiality, Inspired policies, an overview of therapeutic approach, a discussion of what brings you to therapy, and next steps to take. Essentially, the first session is laying the foundation and getting to know each other to determine if we are a good fit. If it is agreed upon that we are a good fit, we would develop a plan for the scope of our work together.

WHAT ARE YOUR RATES FOR CONSULTATION AND THERAPY SERVICES?

Given the unique needs of individuals and organizations, our rates are variable for consulting services and will be determined after receiving your completed information sheet and free 15 minute phone consultation.
Rates for therapy are aligned with the degrees and experience of the provider and are $200 per 45 minute session. There is no sliding scale for services. However, Dr. Sconyers is a Lyra provider which means that prospective clients in Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia who are benefit-eligible and employed with a company that is partnered with Lyra are able to access therapy services with Dr. Sconyers at no cost to them.

No.  This is for a number of important reasons. Not accepting insurance allows us to have a smaller caseload and offer specialized service that is tailored to your needs. We are able to work with you without the influence of another party that can potentially dictate the frequency of sessions and therapeutic modalities. Further, we would not have to report out to the insurance about your health information. Finally, this allows us to focus on our care for you and our self-care (an ethical imperative in the practice of counseling psychology), which ultimately allows us to show up better for you. If you wanted to pursue “out of network” benefits through your insurance provider, let us know immediately upon expressing interest in therapy and you will be provided with documentation that you would need to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement from them.
