FAQs

Good questions.

It's normal to have hesitations. Here are a few things our clients often ask before starting.

  • Gaines Wellness is a fully virtual practice. Sessions are provided through a secure HIPPA-compliant platform, allowing you to meet from a private and comfortable space that works for you.

  • Gaines Wellness is currently available for: Tuesday-Thursday evenings and Saturday & Sunday by appointment

  • I accept insurance plans through Alma, as well as private-pay clients. Alma handles insurance eligibility and benefit verification, allowing you to check your coverage and estimated cost before scheduling.

  • Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice when cancelling or rescheduling. Late cancellations may be charged 50% of the session fee. Life happens, though, so communication matters—reach out and we’ll work through it together.

  • Most clients begin with weekly or biweekly sessions. We’ll decide together what frequency makes the most sense for your needs, goals, and schedule.

  • Individual sessions are $160, and couples sessions are $190. Insurance may also be accepted depending on your plan.

  • The first session is about getting to know you. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, your history, what’s happening now, and what you’d like to work toward.

  • There’s no set timeline. Therapy isn’t meant to last forever—we’ll regularly check in on your progress and adjust based on what you need.

  • Absolutely. You’re always welcome to return when you need additional support, whether that’s months or years later. Therapy can be a resource you come back to as life changes.
