Our Mission
"Our mission is to nurture the seed of authenticity in every individual, providing the fertile ground for growth through life's greatest challenges. We are committed to cultivating spaces where each person can anchor into their truest self, rooted in resilience and nourished by self-discovery."
At Little Seed Counseling, PLLC, our mission is rooted in empowering you to nurture your inherent strengths and embrace your true self. In a world that often pushes for perfection, we offer a sanctuary where the focus is on fostering agency and authenticity. Just as a seed naturally contains all it needs to grow, we believe every individual possesses the unique qualities necessary for their own journey of self-discovery and resilience.
Our philosophy centers on the understanding that you are the expert gardener of your life. Our role? To provide the supportive space, insights, and environment that enable you to thrive on your terms. Imagine a seed — it doesn’t strive to become anything other than what it's meant to be; it simply unfolds in its own time, with the right support. We see each person in the same light; you already have within you the essence of who you are and who you wish to become.
At Little Seed Counseling, we're here to offer encouragement and the tools you need, not to change who you are, but to help you stand firmly in your authenticity. We aspire to guide you in recognizing your strengths, honoring your true self, and shaping a life that resonates deeply with who you genuinely are.
Our Values
Creativity
In therapy, creativity is a vital tool that enables both the therapist and the client to explore solutions, thoughts, and feelings in innovative ways. It allows for the use of various therapeutic techniques tailored to the individual's needs, such as EMDR therapy, art therapy, narrative therapy, or role-play. Creativity in therapy encourages thinking outside traditional frameworks, fostering a dynamic healing process that can adapt to each person's journey. It helps clients discover new perspectives on their challenges, opening up paths to healing that resonate with their unique experiences and personalities.
Curiosity
Curiosity in therapy acts as the driving force behind understanding the depth of a client's experience. It's about maintaining an open, inquisitive stance that values all aspects of the client's story without judgment. This approach helps in uncovering underlying issues, desires, and strengths that the client may not have been aware of. Curiosity fuels a deeper exploration of the self and promotes a sense of discovery and insight. It encourages clients to question old narratives and explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors more deeply, leading to greater self-awareness and change.
Collaboration
Collaboration is fundamental to the therapeutic process, emphasizing the partnership between therapist and client. It's based on the belief that clients are experts on their own lives and that therapy is most effective when therapist and client work together to set goals, explore issues, and develop strategies for change. This collaborative approach fosters a sense of empowerment and ownership over the therapeutic journey. Clients are actively involved in their healing process, contributing their knowledge of themselves and their experiences, while the therapist brings professional expertise, guidance, and support. Together, they create a shared path toward growth and healing.
Community
At Little Seed Counseling, our dedication to collaboration transcends individual therapy, fostering a community-focused approach. We partner with other practices, healthcare providers, and specialists to ensure comprehensive care, embracing open communication for referrals and adjunct services. By actively engaging in and hosting clinical connection events, we strengthen our bonds with fellow clinicians, prioritizing a cooperative ecosystem over competition to enhance the well-being of those we serve.

Your therapist will go through your intake information with you and gather information about your symptoms, relevant history and goals for treatment. Together you will come up with a treatment plan that will guide your time together as you work on your goals.
Your therapist will ask you a lot of questions, but please know that you always have the option of whether or not to answer them. If you are using insurance, there is certain information that we are required to gather if you want to use your benefits.

As long as you need to!
We are not trying to be snarky, but this answer depends on a lot of factors. On average, most people see significant changes in therapy after 15-20 sessions. This depends on the severity of your symptoms and the type of treatment needed.
We want to see you meet your goals and leave us eventually! That’s the point of therapy and our main priority — we want you to feel better!

If you don’t have health insurance or you plan to pay for health care bills yourself, generally, health care providers and facilities must give you an estimate of expected charges when you schedule an appointment for a health care item or service, or if you ask for an estimate. This is called a “good faith estimate.”
A good faith estimate isn’t a bill
The good faith estimate shows the list of expected charges for items or services from your provider or facility. Because the good faith estimate is based on information known at the time your provider or facility creates the estimate, it won’t include any unknown or unexpected costs that may be added during your treatment. Generally, the good faith estimate must include expected charges for:
• The primary item or service
• Any other items or services you’re reasonably expected to get as part of the primary item or service for that period of care.
The estimate might not include every item or service you get from another provider or facility, even if some items or services may seem connected to the same service. For example, if you’re getting surgery, the good faith estimate could include the cost of the surgery, anesthesia, any lab services, or tests.
In some cases, items or services related to the surgery that are scheduled separately, like certain presurgery appointments or physical therapy in the weeks after the surgery, might not be included in the good faith estimate. You’ll get a separate good faith estimate when you schedule those items or services with the provider or facility, or if you ask for it.
Your right to a good faith estimate
Providers and facilities must give you the good faith estimate:
• After you schedule a health care item or service. If you schedule an item or service at least 3 business days before the date you’ll get the item or service, the provider must give you a good faith estimate no later than 1 business day after scheduling. If you schedule the item or service OR ask for cost information about it at least 10 business days before the date you get the item or service, the provider or facility must give you a good faith estimate no later than 3 business days after you schedule or ask for the estimate.
• That includes a list of each item or service (with the provider or facility), and specific details, like the health care service code.
• In a way that’s accessible to you, like in large print, Braille, audio files, or other forms of communication.
Providers and facilities must also explain the good faith estimate to you over the phone or in person if you ask, then follow up with a written (paper or electronic) estimate, per your preferred form of communication.
Keep the estimate in a safe place so you can compare it to any bills you get later. After you get a bill for the items or services, if the billed amount is $400 or more above the good faith estimate, you may be eligible to dispute the bill.
