Q&A
During our first session, our goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible. It can be intimidating to sit across from a stranger and say I need help. Our goal is to establish a relationship that is based in compassion and non-judgement. Our hope is that counseling is a space where you feel safe to learn to be real with yourself, to practice self-compassion, and to find ways to overcome painful experiences.
This is entirely up to what your needs are. We have clients that work with me sometimes twice a week and others that come just once a month for maintenance. Our hope is to be able to support clients in the best way possible and a frequency that clients are comfortable with.

Pam Krejci, LCSW-S is currently an in-network provider with BlueCross and BlueShield and United Healthcare. For insurances where I am not “in-network,” most other insurances do provide “out of network coverage” which allows you to choose your preferred provider. If you choose the “out of network” option you pay in full at the time of services, and then file a claim with your insurance company for partial reimbursement. I can provide you with the information that you need to file a claim with your insurance company.
Check credentials for the counselor and ensure that the they have the necessary skills and expertise. Also, make sure that the counselor is a good fit for you. This is essential!

Patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
