Professional Counseling

Where Mental Health Meets Spiritual Growth

Our pastoral staff is here to walk with those who are hurting and in need of support. However, as our church grows the need for experienced counselors grows as well. We believe that people in the church struggle with the same issues as people outside the church. So, if we want to look different as a collective group of Christ followers, we need to seek help sooner.

  • All Subsequent Sessions (50 minutes): LPC $80, LPC Associate (intern) $65
  • Most counseling is short-term counseling (6 months)
  • Payments can be made at the front desk using cash, credit/debit card, check or accepted insurance plans.
  • Insurance eligibility requires verification 48 hours before first session.
  • Please make checks payable to Praise Church.

    Payment is due when services are rendered unless other arrangements have been made prior to the session. Cassandra DeWall accepts most Aetna,
    Cigna and Optum plans through third party billing site ALMA. To check your eligibility, contact our church office or visit https://secure.helloalma.com/providers/cassandra-dewall/

    For all other insurance carriers, PPC is classified as an out of network provider at this time. It will be the client’s responsibility to pay for services and file with his/her insurance company. A superbill may be provided to assist clients in filing out of network charges with their insurance.

    Verification of coverage and any limitations should be explored by the client before filing.

    Effective January 2024, Praise Professional Counseling will begin accepting insurance through third party billing site ALMA (helloalma.com). Currently, most Cigna, Aetna, and Optum health plans are accepted.
    We are excited to offer this option as it may reduce the out-of-pocket costs for counseling clients. However, there are some things to keep in mind when choosing to use insurance for mental health services.

    • Most insurance providers require proof that there is a “medical necessity” for treatment. This is usually proven by the therapist assigning you a “mental health diagnosis” that will become part of your permanent medical record.
    • For couples counseling to fit the medical necessity model, one partner is generally required to have a mental health diagnosis and be the primary reason for treatment.
    • Insurance companies may request all treatment records and progress notes without your consent to verify the continued progress and necessity of treatment.
    • Most insurance companies limit the number of sessions allowed for insurance payment.
      For more information or to find out if you qualify, please reach out to counseling staff during regular office hours or visit the link https://secure.helloalma.com/providers/cassandra-dewall/

      Cancellations require 24 hour notice, or you will be billed the full session fee. Missed appointments will also be billed at full session fee. Please note, if you use insurance coverage for sessions and fail to show up for a scheduled appointment, you will be personally responsible for the full session fee.
