Questions?

Here are some of the most common questions I get from parents.

If you don’t see your question listed, contact me.


  • Currently, we only offer our child therapy services in person. Our office is conveniently located near downtown Holly Springs. Click here for more details. (Please note that we are on the second floor and unfortunately do not have elevator access.)

    For parent support services, we can accommodate in-person or virtual sessions for parents who reside in North Carolina.

  • “Sometimes it’s helpful for children to have a special place to play.”

  • The Growing Place: Counseling & Play Therapy is an out-of-network private pay practice, which means we do not accept insurance. Some insurance providers may offer out-of-network benefits and we will provide you a superbill which you may submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

  • $185/intake session (90 mins)

    $150/individual sessions and parent consultation sessions (45 mins)

    $160/CPRT (individual) sessions (55 mins)

    HSA/FSA, all major credit cards and cash are accepted.

  • Children are encouraged to engage in counseling sessions at least once a week to establish rapport with the therapist and gain momentum.

    The therapist will check in with parents about every 4-6 sessions to reflect on progress and to review goals and session frequency.

  • Every child and family is unique, and we will collaborate to customize a tailored treatment plan for your child.

  • We require a 48-hour notice, from the start of your session time, if you need to cancel your appointment to avoid a missed appointment fee. The full session fee will be charged if the required notice is not received.

  • Effective 1/1/2022, the No Surprise Act requires all healthcare providers (including mental health therapists) to provide a Good Faith Estimate if you are un-insured or choose not to use your insurance to cover your services.

    You 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.
