Step Up Scholarship Process

I’m proud to offer easier access to high-quality therapy through the Step Up Scholarship here at VH Counseling. As a Direct Billing Provider, the scholarship program pays me directly for your sessions, making it simpler and more affordable for you to get the support you need.

To ensure everything runs smoothly, I do require a credit card to be kept on file. This is just a precaution in case the Step Up Scholarship funds don’t fully cover the cost of the services provided.

How It Works

Your journey begins with a free 15-minute meet & greet with me. This is a chance for us to connect, make sure I’m a good fit for you or your family, and answer any questions you might have.

After our meet & greet, if you decide to move forward, I’ll send you the necessary paperwork to complete electronically for your convenience.

Next Steps

To get started, please purchase the following from the Step Up catalog:

  • Intake Session (1.5 to 2 hours):
    During this session, I’ll take a thorough history, learn more about your goals, and work with you to create a personalized plan to support your healing and growth.
  • At Least One 50-Minute Therapy Session:
    After the intake, ongoing sessions provide focused support tailored to your needs.
