How much do I value Therapy in Modesto?
You might be asking yourself, “Can I really pay X amount for Therapy in Modesto?” It is important to have an understanding of what contributes to your views of the value of therapy. You might find many reasons as to why paying X amount of money is of value to you or not. The truth is that having an understanding of the value of therapy will impact your commitment to your process.
What to consider when exploring the value of therapy from a Therapist in Modesto…
The value you assign to the service of therapy can greatly impact how you view the fee. Remember that different people will value different things, AND that is okay. For example, if you do not value therapy or what it may help you with, you might say, that’s a lot of money. On the other hand, if you view therapy positively, you might think it is a great investment.
Questions to gain clarity and understand the value of therapy.
What are your expectations of therapy?
What have you budgeted for therapy?
How do you feel about committing to this work?
Can I commit to this therapy process?
Can you show up weekly and really use this time?
Can you allow yourself to be open during your process?
How would doing this work impact your life?
If you utilize the space, it will be of value, if not, it may have little to no value. Understanding the potential impact, change, and intention for doing this work can be a piece of powerful information in figuring out the value of therapy.
The cost for Therapy in Modesto …Beyond the Fee
The focus in my practice is on doing really intentional work with a small group of awesome people. Creating this practice that is focused on specific services and providing the best care possible means things are done differently. How? From the scheduling process, access to your therapist, to being seen weekly, creating availability of seen twice a week if needed, the ongoing tracking and assessment of progress, to the preparation for graduation.
Some of the reasoning behind many therapists’ fees, including this one.
Let’s talk about the fees (click here to view the current fees and to learn more about the therapy process). A bit about the behind-the-scenes support to help the business work efficiently. Continuing to be a therapist costs money such as continuing education trainings, license, professional organizations, and staying current with developments in the field and specializations. Maintaining a sustainable business also costs money (e.g., taxes consultations, marketing, rent, repairs, maintenance, website, electronic health record systems, and much more).
Being a self-employed therapist in private practice means paying for health insurance, dental insurance, sick time, vacation, and considering how to plan for retirement. Furthermore, there are many tasks that happen outside of the time spent working directly with clients (e.g., documentation, treatment planning, interactions like phone calls or messages, marketing, consultations, research for clients and their unique needs.) Services are highly focused on providing the best care possible for Anxiety Therapist, Grief Counseling, and Couples Counseling. As a therapist, ongoing development and continuing education focused on specific topics and needs, as well as approaches, are also ongoing. Furthermore, your fee will also help support my family and me.
Perhaps you glanced at the fees and thought, “Okay,” or weren’t sure what to expect. Consider the value of a safe, nonjudgmental, inviting space. A space that is held for you throughout your journey. A space provides encouragement, support, accountability, holds hope, and reflects back to you what you sometimes dare not say yet, “I want to heal,” “I need support,” “I want to be just me,” “I am overwhelmed,” “I am in pain” and “I am lost” “I want ease,” “I want to be happy,” “I want to know and believe I am valuable.”
How awesome would it be to receive therapy from a therapist who is fully present and available for your ongoing care?
The overall intention is that you feel better, have a greater understanding of who you are, and create healing and growth. Having a set value for the growth, healing, and transformation that someone may achieve may be unrealistic. More importantly, consider, “What is this value to me?” “What is the value of having a space where I can show up as I am?” “What is the value of having a space to explore who I am and the fears that are showing up? You get to decide the value therapy holds for you.
