Don’t let a financial hardship keep you from the care you deserve

What is the Cost of your Mental Health?

Have you ever considered the true cost of staying unwell versus investing in your healing? Remaining stuck in emotional, relational, or spiritual struggles can take a serious toll on your life.

It can cost you:

Financailly- by leading to spending on unhealthy habits.
Personally- shaping a negative self-identity.
Socially- by straining relationships and diminishing meaningful connections.
Emotionally– by reducinf joy in everyday interaction.
Professionally- by impacting job performance and career growth.

The choice isnt about the price of getting well-its about the cost of staying the same.

At NuWell, our carefully vetted counselors and coaches share a commitment to Christian values and a strong foundation in faith. With a Christ-centered approach, we guide you toward healing, growth, and becoming the person God has always called you to be. Jeremiah 29:11 ” For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you and expected end.”

Why choose NuWell?

NuWell’s vision is to support each person as a whole- body, soul, and spirit. Our counselors and coaches are not only equipped to address clincial needs but are also trained to nuture your spiritual wellbeing. This integrative approach sets us apart from other online counseling centers, ensuring holistic healing and growth. Another way in which we differentiate ourselves is that all our counselors are vetted during the hiring process to ensure that they are the best options to guide you through the healing process. Once hired, they are trained and supervised to ensure ongoing personal and professional growth. We ask our counselors to do the same work they are asking you to do. When you contact us for counseling or coaching, you will talk to a trained, caring, and professional intake coordinator who knows our counselors and coaches. This individual will walk you through the process of selecting the right counselor or coach for your specific needs.

Comparing Cost

Better Help – The average monthly cost for this subscription service is $280. For that price, you get weekly 30–45-minute sessions (although they state that this depends on the therapist’s availability), chat options, and unlimited text messaging. It’s hard to tell what you actually get. It seems like a lot of counseling is done through web chat and text messaging with 30-minute check-ins through video calls. This also may vary greatly depending on the counselor.

NuWell – 50–60-minute sessions are $80-$125 per session depending on income. (Counseling by interns can be as low as $55 per session). This means on average you can do 3 sessions a month for the cost of Better Help. These costs can be further managed by doing only 1 or 2 sessions per month. When sessions are less frequent your counselor will give you more to work on in between so you can continue your progress between sessions. With this in mind, you may be able to get more effective services through us at the same or lower cost.

How Can I Get Started?

Complete Financial Assistance Form

You can tell NuWell provides excellent care and is perfect for where you want to go on your wellness journey. But, it’s been a crazy few months or year, so your budget is a little out of whack. We get it. Financial hardships hit us all, but don’t walk away just yet. Fill out our financial assistance form, and just like the premium care we deliver, let’s see if we can tailor a budget to get you the online Christian counseling you want.

Discussion with Intake Coordinator

Once we receive your completed financial assistance form, we’ll discuss the specific goals and needs you want our counselors to help you with. Once we get an understanding of what you want to accomplish on your wellness journey, we’ll ask any remaining questions we may have from your assistance request. Next, we’ll review what options we may have available to see if we can craft a financial plan for you.

Our Proposal

Once your situation has been reviewed, if we are able to provide financial assistance, then we will present our proposal to you. If you accept it, then we will get your sessions scheduled so that you and your Christian counselor can begin your transformational wellness journey together. We provide financial assistance to all eligible persons who cannot afford to pay for essential mental health services. Don’t let financial hardship stop you from getting the care you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept insurance?

At NuWell, our pastoral counseling is distinct from traditional therapeutic services. Pastoral counselors are not state-licensed, meaning we’re unable to bill insurance. However, this independence is an advantage for you. By not being bound to insurance and medical regulations, we are free to focus on addressing your spiritual and personal needs without limitations. This flexibility allows us to offer a uniquely holistic, faith-based approach to care that aligns with your beliefs and values, prioritizing true restoration without external control over the methods we use.

What does it cost?

Frequently, the first question people ask about our counseling services is, “what does it cost?” What this tells us is that this customer sees our service as a commodity. A commodity is typically something like corn or grain or gas where there is a large supply that is essentially all the same. With a commodity, the only concern is “what does it cost?” Get the lowest price because it is all the same. All counseling is not the same and doesn’t have the same effectiveness and therefore isn’t a commodity. Many times people settle for what their insurance will cover or what they have known in the past, namely traditional medical model based counseling. Pastoral counseling is an alternative for those who have tried traditional counseling with no results or who don’t have a qualified local Christian counselor. Learn more.

What is the difference between pastoral counseling and traditional counseling?

Pastoral counseling is distinct from traditional counseling in that it combines therapeutic support with spiritual guidance. While traditional counseling often focuses on mental health using clinically based methods, pastoral counseling also considers the spiritual and moral dimensions of a person’s well-being, integrating faith-based principles into the counseling process. Pastoral counselors are trained to address emotional and psychological issues through a lens of spiritual insight, offering guidance that aligns with one’s faith and values. This approach can be especially beneficial for those seeking support that honors both their mental and spiritual needs.

Our Services Include:

Coaching

Coaching looks at your present functioning along with your future potential in order to help you unlock your giftings, passions, and talents so that you can succeed in being all that God has called you to be. It helps you move beyond your current limitations to set and accomplish God-sized goals for your life.

Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety and depression distort how we feel, think, and handle mundane activities such as sleep, nutrition, and work for extended periods of time. Both are among the most effectively treated mental disorders with routine therapy being one of the most effective treatment options.

Family Conflict

Family conflict is inevitable. Dysfunctional families are the rule, not the exception. A functional family is best described as one that handles their dysfunction with love and grace. Every family experiences conflict. It’s still a challenge to navigate though. Oftentimes an outside perspective creates clarity for the family to find resolution.

Emotional Dysfunction

Experiencing abuse or trauma can create toxic beliefs about ourselves that result in feelings of anger, rejection, worthlessness, low self-esteem, shame, emotional shutdown, and self-hatred. Internalizing these poisonous lies leads to emotional dysphoria and dysfunction where we oftentimes create false identities for ourselves.

Spiritual Abuse

Spiritual abuse is rampant. This kind of abuse must be handled with special care because of how it impacts our identity while creating an unnecessary barrier between us and God. The help of a skillful and trusted guide is essential in healing spiritual wounds and restoring a proper understanding of God, ourselves, and others.

Grief & Trauma

Grief and trauma can develop deep roots in our identity if left unresolved. Whether it’s childhood trauma, loss of a loved one, sexual trauma, or any other form, it needs resolution. Treatment for trauma and grief involves a counseling professional using evidence-based clinical treatments as well as Biblical and pastoral approaches.

Marriage & Relationships

Marriages and relationships are hard work. There are seasons when communication with our significant others feels impossible. Sometimes deeply rooted or toxic problems arise threatening to destroy a relationship we’ve spent years cultivating. Trained marriage counselors give you the safe space and tools you need to overcome these obstacles.

Spiritual Warfare

There is a real spiritual enemy seeking to wreak havoc and destruction in our lives. We suffer under the enemy far more than we need to because we willingly walk in sin or believe the enemy’s lies. A spiritual counselor equips you to recognize the enemy’s attacks while helping you develop a successful counter-attack.

Addictions

Addictions affect people and their loved ones in many different ways. Not only are there substance addictions, such as alcohol and drugs, but there are also behavioral addictions like sex, pornography, food, video games, social media. Professional counselors guide those suffering from addiction and their loved ones from despair to freedom.
