    We do! We are in network with multiple insurance companies to help meet your therapy needs. You can check with your insurance company directly to see what mental health coverage you have and what your copay may be as all insurance varies. We are also able to verify your insurance plan when you provide the information to us with your intake paperwork at least 48 hours before your first session. If insurance isn’t verified in advance, the self-pay rate could possibly apply. For insurance companies accepted, click HERE.

  • Counseling Session

    First Session:

    Whether you are an adult seeking support or a parent bringing in your child, the first session at McNamara Counseling is focused on getting comfortable and establishing a good fit. For adults, we will have a relaxed conversation about your background, current challenges, and goals. For children, we take a gentle, age-appropriate approach—often incorporating play, art, or casual chatting—while partnering with parents to understand the family's needs. Ultimately, our goal on day one is simply to create a safe, judgment-free space to map out our next steps together.

  • Happy Woman

    Therapy is personalized to each person, depending on their concerns and goals. It is not uncommon for therapy to last weeks or months in order to develop meaningful change. Your therapist will craft and discuss a personalized treatment for you. Many people continue therapy beyond their initial chief complaint and use the therapeutic space for exploration and growth.

  • Therapist And Patient

    All sessions are private and confidential, with the exception that you are a danger to yourself or others, or if there's any sign of child or elder abuse. Your therapist will send you our confidentiality agreement to sign before your session.
