We are exciting to announce that we now accept most United, Aetna, and Cigna plans.
Depending on your specific insurance coverage, your treatment may be provided at little or no cost to you should you choose to use insurance.
We’re committed to helping you achieve lasting change, and research shows that therapy works best when approached with structure and consistency. Here’s what you need to know as you get started:
1. You’ll Notice a Shift From Your Very First Session
Many clients begin to feel relief even after their first appointment.
From the start, you’ll collaborate with your therapist to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your life and goals. This ensures that every session is focused, intentional, and designed to move you forward in a way that feels right for you.
We take pride in matching you with the right therapist—someone who has helped thousands of people navigate the same struggles you’re facing now. You won’t be figuring this out alone. You’ll have a therapist who truly understands you, listens without judgment, and provides the right strategies to help you make real progress with confidence.
2. 8-12 Sessions: The Proven Path to Results
Many clients experience positive change quickly, and we celebrate those early wins.
At the same time, our work with thousands of clients has shown us that the clients who reach their long-term goals typically commit to 8–12 sessions.
- Most adults see success with an 8-session program.
- Couples typically benefit from a 6-session program.
- Children and teens also thrive with 8 sessions.
Â
8 sessions is the proven foundation for lasting change, and we recommend scheduling your first set of appointments in advance to give yourself the best chance to succeed.
3. Weekly Sessions Build Momentum
While every client’s needs are different, weekly sessions in the beginning give you the best chance for success.
Meeting regularly allows you and your therapist to build a strong connection, adjust your approach when needed, and see progress unfold week after week.
It’s the rhythm that helps our clients feel supported, empowered, and in control of their growth.
4. Your Time is Valued—Here’s How It Works
We believe your time and investment deserve the highest level of care.
A clinical hour lasts 50 minutes. This allows your therapist time to document progress, plan your treatment, and prepare for each session—ensuring that every appointment is focused on moving you forward.
To protect your time and ours:
- A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your first appointment.
- Rescheduling: With 48 hours’ notice or more, your deposit can be applied to your next session.
- Late Cancellations: Appointments changed with less than 48 hours’ notice will be charged the full session fee.
Â
This structure allows us to provide high-quality, reliable care to every client.
5. Consistency Creates Confidence and Lasting Change
Therapy is an investment in your well-being, and consistency is the key to getting the most from it.
Clients who show up regularly, even when life gets busy, experience the biggest breakthroughs—because each session builds on the last.
Every appointment is a step toward the life you want—and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Let’s Get Started
We know that beginning therapy is a big decision.
Our promise is simple: You’ll feel supported from your very first session, and we’ll help you build a clear path forward—together.
The best way to set yourself up for success is to call our Client Care Coordinator at 727-344-9867 or submit a form by clicking below to get matched with the perfect therapist for your needs and take the first step toward feeling better.
Children & Teenagers:
The first session is 50 minutes and always includes the clinician and the parent(s). This helps us get a background and perspective that children/teens may not necessarily share with us as counselors.
It’s important to be as detailed as possible to help your clinician conceptualize the most efficient and effective treatment. Every session after is 50 minutes, one-on-one with your child/teen.
Adults
The first 50-minute session is a clinical intake interview. As a holistic counseling center, we look at every area of your life to get a better understanding of what makes you, you.
We explore your life growing up, friends, family, job/academics, what you do for fun, your relationship with yourself, sleep, diet, exercise, spirituality (if it pertains to you) and more! Every session after is 50 minutes unless you and your therapist have discussed alternatives.
Couples
Our custom-tailored approach to couples counseling offers a choice between a one-hour or two-hour initial intake session allowing us to address the urgency and complexity of your relationship concerns effectively.
We’ve found clients on the verge of separation or divorce may want a longer intake than someone who has communication issues with their partner. Every couple is different. Subsequent sessions are a standard 50 minutes, but we can adapt to your needs, offering 1-3 hour sessions upon request.
Our goal is to provide the support and guidance your relationship deserves and our client care coordinator will make a recommendation based on your situation but ultimately, the choice is yours!
How Often Should I Come to Counseling?
For the best results based on data since we opened since 2018, we recommend weekly sessions, especially in the beginning, to build momentum and create lasting change. Research and our experience show that 8–12 sessions provide the strongest foundation for realistic and sustainable progress.
We will never force this process, or make you feel bad about adding time between sessions. Our goal isn’t to make you dependent on therapy, but to help you to become the expert of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so that you can enjoy life again.
McNulty Counseling Clinicians Are Out-of-Network
We are a self-submitting private practice and unfortunately do not manage insurance claims. Many of our clients are reimbursed directly from their insurance company and some clients report reimbursement rates between 50%-90%.
We provide you with a monthly Superbill (Statement for Insurance Reimbursement) that contains your procedure and diagnostic code for the insurance company. They will use this to reimburse you for the maximum amount of each session. If you have any reimbursement questions, we recommend that you contact your insurance company first as they can best answer your concerns regarding coverage. Common insurance companies that our clientele have reported reimbursement are:
- Blue Cross Blue Shield
- Aetna
- United
- Cigna
We DO accept FHA and FSA payments!
Our Main Focus Is Helping You
We encourage all of our clients to get the insurance representatives first and last name, as well as a confirmation number. It has been our experience that some representatives will miscommunicate, and create an uncomfortable situation for the therapist and client.Â
With us, you control your confidentiality. Insurance providers require a diagnosis for payment and keep records of treatment. This may not be beneficial to some of our clients based on their profession or other factors. Your privacy is important to us, and we value your care.
Why We Don’t Accept Insurance:
Since our counseling center was founded, we have never accepted insurance to keep your information 100% confidential. The Department of Health and Human Services reported over 20,000 HIPAA violations last year, with many of them being by the provider, the insurance company, or the third-party who is handling the information.
Like a game of telephone, the more transactions that occur with your information, the higher the likelihood of it getting into the wrong hands (or eyes). When you meet with a therapist at McNulty Counseling & Wellness, they will be the only person who has access to your private information.
Insurance companies require a diagnosis by the clinician in order for them to cover your appointment cost. Even if you or your child may not require a diagnosis, they still require us to diagnose. This diagnosis can go on your permanent medical record, which can hinder your chances of receiving a job in the government, becoming a pilot, receiving certain benefits by an employer, etc. You should be able to receive counseling without being labeled.
Insurance companies decide the length of your treatment, not the qualified professionals who are treating you. Private pay allows flexibility, without having to stress about the duration and frequency of your sessions.Â
Cancellations
The time scheduled with your therapist is reserved for you and for you only. It is imperative that you notify your clinician or the office 24 hours before a missed appointment. If we have not received any notice, you will be charged for the full session of your appointment.Â
We understand that life comes at us fast. A canceled appointment hurts three people: you, your therapist, and another client who could have potentially used your time slot. When a session is canceled without enough notice, we are unable to fill the time slot by offering it to another client. If you need to cancel or reschedule, we will gladly accommodate your situation as long as we have the 24 hours notice.
