Don’t let a financial hardship keep you from the care you deserve
What Does It Cost to Stay Stuck?
It’s fair to ask what support costs. It’s also worth asking what it costs to stay stuck in the same relational, emotional, or spiritual struggles. Struggles left unaddressed can affect:
- Your finances, through habits that cost more than they give
- How you see yourself
- Your relationships and friendships
- Your joy in everyday life
- Your work and calling
Getting help is an investment in the life God has for you.
Our pastoral counselors and Christian life coaches are vetted for their commitment to Christ and a strong foundation in faith. We bring Scripture and prayer into every conversation as we help you grow toward the person God calls you to be.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
Why choose NuWell?
We care about the whole person: body, soul, and spirit. Our pastoral counselors and coaches are non-clinical. They focus on spiritual guidance, Scripture, prayer, and practical next steps, and they will tell you when licensed or medical care is the better fit.
Every counselor and coach is vetted during hiring, then trained and supervised for ongoing growth. We ask them to do the same work they ask of you.
When you reach out, you’ll talk with a trained intake coordinator who knows our team and will help you choose the right pastoral counselor or coach for your needs.
What Sessions Cost
Sessions are 50 to 60 minutes and cost $80 to $125, based on income. Sessions with interns can cost as little as $55. Many people meet weekly. Others meet once or twice a month to keep costs manageable, with practical work to do between sessions.
We keep a card on file and charge it only when a session takes place. We don’t bill insurance.
How Can I Get Started?
Complete Financial Assistance Form
If cost is the main thing holding you back, don’t walk away yet. Financial hardships hit all of us. Fill out our financial assistance form, and we’ll see whether we can build a plan that fits your budget.
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 we review your situation, and if we’re able to offer financial assistance, we’ll send you our proposal. If you accept it, we’ll schedule your sessions so you and your pastoral counselor or coach can get started. We offer assistance to eligible people who can’t afford the full session fee. Don’t let financial hardship keep you from getting support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
No. Our pastoral counselors and Christian life coaches are not state-licensed clinicians, so we can’t bill insurance. Our services are non-clinical. They focus on spiritual guidance, Scripture, prayer, and practical next steps.
If you need care that insurance covers, such as diagnosis or treatment for a mental health condition, a licensed provider is the better fit, and we can help you think that through. Grace Christian Counseling is a separate licensed practice.
What does it cost?
Sessions are 50 to 60 minutes and cost $80 to $125, based on income. Sessions with interns can cost as little as $55. If cost is a barrier, ask about financial assistance.
We keep a card on file and charge it only when a session takes place. You choose how often to meet. Some people meet weekly, and others meet once or twice a month.
What is the difference between pastoral counseling and traditional counseling?
Traditional counseling is provided by state-licensed clinicians who can diagnose and treat mental health conditions, and it is often billed to insurance.
Pastoral counseling is non-clinical. Our pastoral counselors bring Scripture, prayer, and spiritual guidance to questions about faith, relationships, grief, purpose, and life transitions. Christian life coaching focuses on goals and practical next steps.
Many people use both: licensed care for clinical needs and pastoral support for the spiritual side of what they are facing. If you need licensed care, we will tell you.
