Navigating the cost of mental health care can feel overwhelming, and we understand that paying out of pocket isn’t always feasible. We’re grateful to be able to accept a wide range of insurance plans to help make therapy more accessible for our clients.
For those who prefer added privacy or are navigating gaps in healthcare coverage—especially with the uncertainty surrounding coverage in 2026—we also offer private pay options. We respect that everyone’s situation is unique, and sometimes choosing to pay out of pocket for the provider who feels like the best fit is what matters most.
If you’re unsure whether we’re in network with your plan or want to explore private pay, we’re here to help. Reach out anytime, and we’ll guide you through your options with care. 💛

At Making Waves Counseling & Wellness, we love voicemails. Our confidential voicemail box lets you know that all calls are returned within 48 business hours—and here’s a fun fact: every call is personally received and returned by our clinician and owner. 💙
We ask new clients to leave a voicemail so we can thoughtfully prioritize client sessions and ensure everyone receives the attention they deserve.
Not a fan of calling or feeling a bit anxious about it? No worries—Gen Z and phone-call-averse friends, we see you. You’re welcome to text the same number or reach us through our new website contact form, which goes straight to our clinician.

Last week our owner dove deep into a week-long trauma conference — soaking up knowledge on everything from the neuroscience of trauma and EMDR to holistic healing, attachment work, and even sustainable business practices! 💡🧠

At Making Waves Counseling & Wellness, we’re all about quality care, collaboration, and community — and continuing our education is one way we keep growing right alongside our clients. 🌱💙

We can’t wait to bring these insights back into sessions and share the ripple effects with you all! 🌊
