Meeting You Wherever You Are

At Kahl Counseling we work with individuals aged six and up, couples, families, and groups. We work with you to help you learn more about yourself, develop more effective skills in handling various problems, and learn to make healthier and more productive choices, allowing for positive changes in your life. Your therapy will be individualized depending on your goals and your therapist will employ a variety of therapeutic techniques depending on your individual wants and needs. We value how difficult it can be to open up to someone you’ve just met about your personal problems and we want you to know your safety and trust are important to us. All of our services are confidential by law and we cannot discuss what you share with us with anyone without your written permission.

Our dedicated therapists at Kahl Counseling are licensed professionals with a wide variety of specializations, allowing you to experience support, healing, or change around many issues including: 

We have recently moved all of our services online. All of our therapists are experienced in providing teletherapy. All sessions are 53 to 60 minutes long. We use a HIPAA-compliant teleconferencing service which allows us to provide dependable, confidential online therapy at no extra cost to you. Please be prepared for your online session by having a computer, laptop, or other device that has a camera and a microphone, and have a meeting place where you have privacy and can speak freely without being overheard. Unless your session is paid for by your insurance, credit card payments for teletherapy are taken by your therapist at the end of each session. We are happy to provide you with a free online ten-minute consultation if you would like to see what meeting online would be like. For your convenience, telephone sessions are also available. Please see our team profiles below to learn more about what each of us has to offer you.

Kahl Counseling provides letters for transgender clients who are ready to go on hormones or will be undergoing associated surgeries. We care about the safety and comfort of our transgender clients and we strive to meet the WPATH Standards of Care. Under most circumstances, we require twelve sessions before providing letters for hormones and six months of therapy before providing letters for surgeries. Most insurances will cover the cost of therapy for transgender clients but, when the time comes, the actual letter requires a one-time out-of-pocket expense of $100, which may be paid with cash, check, or credit card. This out-of-pocket expense includes the writing of the letter, faxing it to the medical facility which will be providing your hormones prescription or surgery, and providing you with a copy if you would like one for your records.

We accept most major insurances as well as private pay, also known as “out of pocket” payments. If you choose to use your insurance, we’ll verify your coverage prior to your first visit and will inform you of any deductibles or copays. Some clients choose to pay out of pocket rather than utilizing their insurance. There are several advantages to not using your insurance. When you pay out of pocket you can see any therapist you’d like to see rather than being limited to therapists in network with your insurance company. When you pay out of pocket your therapist is not required to give you a clinical diagnosis which may become part of your permanent record with your insurance company. And with private pay, your insurance company will also not have legal access to your counseling records, including your therapeutic session notes. Kahl Counseling offers two out-of-pocket fees. Our full fee is $135 and we have a reduced hardship rate of $110 per session. Rather than asking for your pay stubs or for personal information about your finances, we go by the honor system, allowing you to choose which fee is affordable to you.
