A BIT ABOUT ME & THERAPY
Dr. Andrea T. J. Ross, Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor,
I completed the doctoral requirements earning a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at Sam Houston State University. I provide counseling and supervision services, helping others work towards healing and change. Also, I works as faculty in the university setting. My research interest include multicultural issues, spirituality, and trauma. I am dedicated to serving our community through practice, research, and training.
I believe that clients have the ability to choose how to resolve their own problems and can make their own decisions with my assistance as a facilitator. I believe that clients are responsible for their own behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. As a counselor, I encourage for my clients to develop greater self-awareness and mental health through their life experiences, building increased confidence, self-esteem, independence, and the capacity to effectively navigate the complex challenges of life.
Some clients need only a few counseling sessions to achieve these goals, while others may require more counseling. As a client, you maintain control of yourself and you may end our counseling relationship at any point, and I will be supportive of that position. If you are dissatisfied with my work, I will help you find another counselor with whom you might be able to work effectively.

You Ask - I Answer
WHAT ARE YOUR FEES AND HOW LONG DOES EACH THERAPY SESSION TAKE?
The fee per session is $200. It is my intention to render my services in a professional manner consistent with accepted standards of
practice. Our sessions will normally be 45-50 minutes in duration for individual, marital or family
counseling, and 90 minutes in duration for group counseling. It is impossible for any counselor to guarantee
any specific results regarding your counseling goals. However, together we will work to achieve the best
possible results for you.
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELATION POLICY?
Appointments cancelled/rescheduled at least 24 hours prior to the session time will not be charged.
Appointments cancelled/rescheduled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged full session fee ($200).
No shows will be charged full session fee ($200).
Reminder texts/calls are only made when our times allows us to do so. Do NOT rely on this courtesy to keep from missing appointments
One no show may be allowed; after the second occurrence, I may choose to refuse the scheduling of
future appointments.
Frequent cancelling/rescheduling will incur a charge and may also result in a refusal of future appointments.
DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?
We do not accept insurance. However, upon request, we can issue a “Superbill”. A “Superbill” includes the most commonly requested information needed by insurance companies to assess reimbursement options.
Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify if and how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.
We recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:
Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
Does my plan reimburse for out-of-network providers?
Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
DO YOU OFFER SLIDING SCALE?
We do not offer sliding scale. However, we have License Professional Counselor- Associates who provide services at a reduced rate.
