What are your fees?    

A regular 50-minute session is $80, and a 90-minute initial session is $120. If you need a reduced fee due to financial hardship, please ask. We never turn away anyone due to inability to pay. Our financial admin will discuss a reduced rate with you. You may also significantly lower your counseling costs by choosing a discounted 10-session package.   

Do you take insurance?   

Upon request, we will provide you with forms with proper diagnostic codes for you to file with your health insurance company. Dr. Lucy’s fees are set at about half the typical cost of a visit to a psychotherapist. Since insurance companies usually cover mental health visits at 50 percent, her fees are comparable if not lower. You may also elect to use your Health Savings Account, if you have one.  

What should I expect during a biblical counseling session?   

Expect Dr. Lucy to pray with you and for you, to listen to your story, to get to the root of your problem, and to show you how to make practical changes that improve your life and that please God. To this end, every counseling session includes practical change assignments. Her goal is having intentionally helpful conversations with you.    

Does biblical counseling differ from psychotherapy?   

Yes, it does. Psychotherapy is secular counseling and relies on human philosophy and reasoning for answers for people’s problems. It assumes there is no final authority. In contrast, biblical counseling is anchored to the authority and sufficiency of the Bible, and a biblical counselor looks to God’s diagnosis and approach to the counseling problem. This approach is comprehensive, compassionate, and effective. It is guided by God through the Word.   

What’s your stance on medication? 

We support the use of medication prescribed by a licensed medical doctor. Dr. Lucy is not a medical doctor and thus do not prescribe medications or give medical advice.  

What training do you have? 

Dr. Lucy has a doctorate in biblical counseling and also is a graduate in pastoral care to women. She has certification through the Association of Certified Biblical Counsels and the Association of Biblical Counselors. She is not a state-licensed “professional counselor” and has no plans to become one. 

Does Dr. Lucy have any other words for hurting Christian women?  

“Get the help you need. And if meeting by video is what works best for you, then do it. You’ll appreciate the convenience and accessibility, as have the thousands of women I’ve counseled online worldwide since 2008.”

You may feel alone or overwhelmed. Maybe you’re scared of what people would think if they knew the real you. God knows the real you, and He loves you and wants to help you face your problem as He conforms you to the image of Jesus Christ, who gave his life for you. God loves you too much to leave you just the way you are. He wants you to realize the abundant life!

Here’s how the apostle John recorded Jesus’ reassuring words. Are they perfect for today’s chaotic, fear-filled times?

 

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.

I came that (you) may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10
