WHAT CAN I EXPECT IN MY FIRST Appointment?
In your first, or “Intake Appointment,” you will have the opportunity to review your goals and expectations while you begin to get to know your counselor. We know the key to successful counseling is feeling comfortable with your Wellness Counselor, so we always encourage our clients to be open and honest about their experience from the start so that we can maintain a successful and collaborative space for you. Through Wellness Consulting will talk about your challenges, address negative patterns, or confront obstacles you may be avoiding that may feel hard at times. That is exactly what our supportive approach is here for! It’s our mission to help you reach your goals, so let us know how things are going for you along the way.
HOW LONG IS EACH Appointment AND HOW OFTEN DO WE MEET?
Wellness Consulting appointments are typically 50 minutes long. In the beginning stages of building your goals and working towards them, you meet with your counselor once a week. In building successful change, consistency is KEY in order to get you where you want to go. Some clients wish to have longer session times when their goals and needs require more attention. As we start to build your goals, essential tools and work towards the changes you want to make, we re-evaluate how the process is going for you and adjust accordingly. We also recognize that the growth process is not the same for every person, so there may be times when more or less frequent sessions can be helpful depending on your individual goals. If you ever have questions along the way, your therapist is always happy to answer them.
DO YOU OFFER ONLINE APPOINTMENTS?
YES! South Bay Wellness gives our clients the ability to meet with a counselor virtually from the comfort of your own home, office or even while traveling! If you are interested in virtual Telehealth please let us know and we can discuss how to set this option up for you in the client portal.
HOW MUCH does it COST?
Session fees vary depending on service, length of appointment and experience of your counselor. Therapy and Wellness Consulting sessions range between $150-$350 per session. Payment is collected at the time of service and we offer credit card payment, Venmo, and Zelle options for all our clients. We are first and foremost mental health advocates, and reserve a limited number of sliding scale appointments for clients faced with true financial hardship.

Appointments cancelled without 24 hours notice are billed for the missed session.
HOW DO I CHOOSE BETWEEN THERAPY OR Wellness CONSULTING?
Traditional therapy focuses on treating mental health related issues (such as mood disorders, substance abuse, behavioral issues, etc.) Therapy services include a formal intake, assessment, diagnosis and treatment plan. Our therapists hold a minimum of a Masters Degree and are licensed and/or registered with the Board of Behavioral Sciences to perform psychotherapy services in the state of California, and are mandated to participate in annual continuing education. Clients requesting reimbursement from their insurance company are required to grant access to their patient records (including assessments, diagnosis, and treatment) oftentimes for possible reimbursement of session fees.
Wellness Consulting, addresses areas where a client may still wish to overcome challenges, create a strategy to reach a goal, or build key elements of their personal and/or professional growth but are not currently addressing a mental health issue. Wellness consultants may also be licensed or registered therapists, however are not required to hold such a license by law. ALL Wellness Consultants employed by South Bay Wellness are required to have a minimum of a Bachelor's degree in Psychology or Counseling Science, meet minimum experience standards, and attend annual continuing education to the standards of a licensed professional.
