FAQ
Have questions? We have the answers!
You may or may not have heard of Christian Counseling. This could mean a lot of things to different people. At the E91 Counseling. Center, this means each of our counselors starts with a Christian paradigm and perspective. From there, we meet each client where they are on their journey.
Someone who doesn't identify as having a faith in any higher being: We'd love to work with you and will respect your boundaries.
Someone who is practicing a faith other than Christianity: We are happy to respect your religious preference.
Someone who is exploring faith: That's great, and if you want that exploration to be part of your treatment, we can include it. But it doesn't have to be a part of your work.
Someone whose faith is a very integral part of their life: We are comfortable engaging with your spiritual life as part of your treament or focusing on other things.
Because of the way our organization was created, we are able to offer very affordable counseling in our clients. While we do not bill insurance, our rates usually cost less to clients, even without insurance billing. We will work with you to find a fee that is appropriate.
E91 Counseling offers counseling services to individuals age 6 and up, couples, and families. Counselors initially meet with an individual, couple or family to obtain an understanding of their situation and needs. Then, we work to identify church and community resources that may be helpful in addressing and resolving their difficulties and in fostering their spiritual growth. The initial appointment is always a flat fee of $35; cash, check, or credit cards accepted.
The assessment counselor will provide several different counseling options, which may include a referral to a graduate level intern or resident counselor. The cost for these sessions is determined by counselor availability and a sliding fee scale with a cost of $10 - $85 per session.
Confidentiality can seem complicated. If you are eighteen years old or older this means that no one can see your records without your prior permission. If you are under the age of 18, your legal guardians will have access to your records, but your counselor will encourage a level of privacy within the counseling relationship. Confidentiality does not protect an individual if they report wanting to hurt themselves or someone else, or report an elderly person or minor who is currently being abused. If you have additional questions, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
The E91 Counseling Center also offers EMDR Treatment. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a form of therapy that is quickly gaining recognition as an effective treatment for trauma and other disturbing life experiences. According to the EMDR Institute (2020), “After successful treatment with EMDR therapy, affective distress is relieved, negative beliefs are reformulated, and physiological arousal is reduced.”
