Frequently Asked Questions

Bright Care Christian Counseling Okc Services

Receiving psychotherapy can feel unfamiliar and maybe even uncomfortable to consider. This is especially true if you’re considering therapy services for the first time or have had negative experiences in the past. There are so many questions you may have about the process. It is normal to feel anxious about contacting mental health providers directly. Because of this, we’ve compiled a list of the most common basic questions. We hope it’s helpful to satisfy any curiosity or need for more understanding.

Whether or not you receive mental health services is your decision. If you would like help with your thought life, your emotions, your choices, or your relational situation then psychotherapy is a wonderful process. It is especially helpful if problems in any of these areas hinders how you function everyday.

Psychotherapy can help you manage unwanted thoughts and difficult feelings by gaining coping tools, behavioral strategies, and insight to work through. With therapy you can gain clarity and make sense of what is going on with you or your relationship to move past any barriers to your peace of mind and daily living.

Our office number is available for contact from: 8:00am-5:00pm weekdays and our office is typically open from: 8:00am to 8:00pm weekdays for scheduled appointments. Our providers can be reached individually at varying times depending on their availability.

Expect to talk, learn new skills in behavioral and mood management, to solve problems, and to open your mind even further. We will ask you about your therapeutic needs and we’ll build a trusting relationship for you to safely process at your pace what helps you gain peace of mind and contentment in life.

 “I decided to offer christian counseling because many clients I know have desired it and found it to be incredibly valuable. In my professional experience, I’ve discovered and continously grown a profound respect for the power of God. I know nothing like it. I believe God is the source of all truth, light, peace, hope, and joy and these are all pieces I want woven throughout this practice. Although these can definitely be achieved by other means, God’s presence and movement is welcome here so we don’t have to avoid the topic. However, I understand and respect anyone who wants to receive therapy free of religion, so we use secular therapeutic methods unless otherwise preferred by you.” ~ Brittany

Any spiritual inclusion is based only on your preferences and the level of importance you give it. We will not discuss or mention God at all unless you initiate or request it, and even then, we follow your lead on spiritual matters.

Everyone is different because every individual and story is different, so therapy can last anywhere from a couple of sessions to months or even years. Because it takes at least two sessions to establish trust, you can expect to at least have 2-3 sessions. Length of therapy will depend on what you want and need. A few sessions may be sufficient for a very specific problem, or services for a longer term may be needed to resolve issues that run a bit deeper. We will discuss your needs and expectations and continue to evaluate your progress along the way to ensure you receive what you need and desire.

We understand that receiving therapy can be financially cumbersome and we believe therapy shouldn’t be a financial stressor atop whatever other matters you’re facing. Because of this, we are upfront with our rates (view here to see each provider’s bio and fees), we extend affordable care options to everyone, and offer even lower fees for those who qualify. If you are private paying then you may receive out-of-network (OON) benefits from your insurance provider, so we offer an invoice for you to submit to them for reimbursement. If we’re unable to accommodate you comfortably then we will do our best to care for you by finding someone who suits your therapeutic needs as well as financial ability.

It is important to know what all to ask your insurance provider so that you are informed of what services you have coverage for. Some helpful questions to consider asking your provider are:
⦁ What are my mental health benefits?

⦁ Do I have an insurance deductible to meet?
⦁ What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
⦁ How many therapy sessions does my plan cover?
⦁ How much does my insurance pay for an out-of-network provider?
⦁ Is approval required from my primary care physician?

Contact us and we will ask you a few questions to identify the provider best fit for your needs. Your provider will contact you and walk you through setting up your services to begin virtually or for a traditional office visit. If you are requesting for assistance for someone who is not yourself, you can either use our Referral Form or contact us to gather their information from you so that we can assist them.

Whether you are new to counseling or familiar, we want you to feel free to ask us any questions at any time.
