FAQ | The Vines Mental Health Practice

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect from therapy?

Therapy looks different for everyone. The first session typically includes discussing the logistics of therapy, information gathering, and focusing on building a therapeutic relationship and ways to work towards desired goals. The session lasts 45-60 minutes and is available in Dallas, TX, or virtual. Virtual sessions are held on a HIPAA-compliant platform.

Can I speak with the therapist before scheduling an appointment?

Absolutely! The Vines Mental Health Practice offers a free 15-minute consultation before booking a session. We believe that the relationship between the client and therapist is essential for healing. During this consultation, clients can ask questions about therapy styles and approaches, briefly share their reasons for seeking counseling, and learn about the therapist's experiences and methods for addressing their concerns.

Are you bilingual?

Yes! I speak Spanish and English fluently and can offer individual counseling in both languages. All forms are available in both languages.

What is the rate, and do you take insurance?

For clients without insurance, individual therapy sessions are available at a flat rate of $150 per hour.
