Frequently Asked Questions

Please call the office or email to schedule an initial visit. If you are planning to bring your child in for therapy, the first session is for parents only so that you have the opportunity to meet your therapist and ascertain whether or not he/she is a good fit for your family. Once scheduled, please complete the appropriate forms sent prior to your initial session.

Please note, our therapists are not trained to offer counseling services for high conflict families who are involved in current cases in the family court system.  We will provide you with appropriate referrals.

Although once a week is typical in the beginning, we will work together to find a schedule that best meets your needs, as well as your child’s needs.

Your therapist will provide you with a note so your child will have an excused absence.

While this is a great question, it is also very difficult to answer. Once the process is underway, we can make an educated estimate for you.

For little ones, it is simplest to tell them they will be going to have playtime with the therapist. If your child is a bit older and/or inquisitive, you may explain that we are “feelings doctors” who can help them make sense of things that are difficult or confusing.

Please call the office or email/call your therapist for details. At this time, all of our fully licensed LPCs are in-network with BCBS of Texas PPO. If we are out-of-network, we will provide you with all the necessary paperwork for you to file with your provider. You may check to see if you have out-of-network coverage by contacting your insurance company. Most insurances will reimburse you a percentage of the cost if you do have this coverage as part of your policy.

A session with a fully licensed therapist is billed at $165/hour. The LPC Associates at Planting Seeds offer their sessions at $100-115/hour based on experience and insurance may not be billed for these services.

An LPC Associate in the state of Texas has completed his/her master’s degree, passed the national exam, and is provisionally licensed by the state.  Associates have the same training as a fully licensed LPC but must do their first 3,000 hours under the direct supervision of a board approved Supervisor.  Associates may not independently practice and sessions may not be filed for coverage by BCBS of TX.

We are happy to reschedule with at least 24 hours notice. If an appointment is cancelled less than 24 hours prior or a client fails to show up, there will be a $165 (for fully licensed therapists) or $115 (for LPC Associates) fee charged for the missed appointment.

We follow the decisions made by FISD for our Frisco location and PISD for our Prosper location.  If you are uncertain, please contact your therapist.
