Frequently Asked Questions
-
We’ll schedule a 20-minute block of time where we can get to know one another a bit. Many clients prefer to do this over the phone, however we can also schedule time for you to come into the office for the consultation. The consult often looks like you sharing a little about what is bringing you to therapy at this time, as well as hearing about our approach to the work. Feel free to bring any questions you have. The goal is to determine whether we might be a good fit, and if you’d like to set up a therapy intake to get started!
-
First, we are thrilled we get to meet you! Right after scheduling, you’ll receive an email from Simple Practice (generated by your therapist), with instructions for logging into your personal and secure client portal. There you’ll find a handful of documents to review and complete electronically prior to your intake session. This helps us learn more about you and prepare for our first meeting together. You’ll also receive a personal email from your therapist with instructions to the office if coming in person, or info about how to log on if you’ve chosen Telehealth.
-
Our priority in the first session is to get to know you and begin creating a positive therapeutic relationship. We recognize that meeting with a stranger for therapy can be incredibly difficult and often anxiety producing! We want to hear about your goals and what is bringing you to therapy. Your therapist will be mindful to go at your pace, which might mean that we don’t discuss specific events or details of your history quite yet. There is never any pressure to share anything and this is a very common misconception – clients often come in thinking they “should” share all the details up front. Our approach is rooted in brain and nervous system science. We are intentional in building a relationship, as well as resources and skills, so that when you decide to share difficult things, it can be done in such a way that you feel ready, safe and supported.
-
Therapy costs can range between $100-$250 per session here in Nashville. Therapy cost can largely depend on a therapist's training, length of time in the field, additional certifications and other qualifications. All licensed therapists hold a minimum of a Master's Degrees in their field. Here at Live Full, our therapists prioritize continuing education, and have done additional work towards certifications that make them highly knowledgeable and skilled in their area of expertise. While our rates are on the 'lower end' of the average range, we understand that for many, weekly therapy at this rate is not possible. We are happy to work with you on a frequency that is doable for you financially, while still helping you reach your goals. In addition, we have Master's Level Interns that provide therapy for $65 per session, with sliding scale rates available.
-
Sessions are often scheduled weekly to start, for 50 minutes. We recommend this frequency initially because we find that almost all of our clients want to work on something immediate and desire to feel better. Weekly sessions help you begin to feel comfortable and create safety with your therapist, as well as gain momentum in the process. Should this not be doable for you, we work with clients to find a schedule that works best for them, while also helping them meet their goals. Longer sessions are also available, as some clients find these helpful to allow for more work to occur, which can ‘speed up’ the healing process.
A therapy session is a space and time solely dedicated to your healing and growth. We’ll focus on what is most important to you, and your therapist will offer interventions tailored to what you need. We’ll provide compassionate support and structure to the process, while allowing you to safely explore and process what is most important to you. Many clients gain new insights and awareness within the first couple of sessions, and report quickly noticing meaningful change.
-
Yes! Virtual therapy can be equally as effective as in-person work. Treatments such as EMDR and somatic therapies are also possible via Telehealth, and therapists at Live Full are skilled in implementing these interventions through the virtual platform. Feel free to join us exclusively through Telehealth, or just on those weeks where getting to the office is challenging! We’re here for whatever works best for you. Telehealth is offered through a confidential, HIPAA-compliant platform. You’ll receive a link the day of your appointment to join your session. Your therapist will provide additional tips after booking to help enhance your virtual therapy experience.
-
We are located in the heart of East Nashville, at 2002 Eastland Avenue, Suite 101. We encourage clients to park on Scott, which is between Portland Brew and a bright pink house. There are also often spaces directly across from our office on Eastland as well. You’ll take the crosswalk on Eastland and then you are at the ramp to our office!
We thoughtfully designed our space to be comfortable and inviting. Feel free to grab a coffee, soda or seltzer before your session begins.
-
Live Full Therapy does not accept insurance; however, some of our clients are able to utilize their insurance 'out of network benefits,' which means that you pay us directly, and then are reimbursed afterwards by your insurance company. We are happy to provide you with a Superbill, which will include the information you need to file for out-of-network reimbursement. Please check with your insurance carrier prior to scheduling to confirm whether this is an option for you. Many clients prefer not to utilize this option due to privacy concerns, insurance companies requiring a formal diagnosis, as well as limits placed on number of sessions and types of treatment. Please let us know if you have any questions about this!
