FREQUENTlY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
If you have a question that isn’t answered on this page, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
IS Therapy FOR ME?
I am a firm believer than therapy is for everyone! Currently, I offer individual therapy in the states of Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Therapy doesn’t need to mean treating a diagnosis, this can look like simply expressing difficult emotions about the day to day, working through triggers, and developing skills to cope.
IS COACHING FOR ME?
Great question! The best part about coaching? It can be for e v e r y o n e! No diagnoses or “symptoms” needed — we can work with those too if you have them! But coaching can be utilized different than therapy, allowing more flexibility with time, finances, and goals. Coaching is for everyone, no matter what you are trying to accomplish!
WHAT SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?
Currently, at Janicki Holistic Healing, we offer individual coaching and group topic discussions. We have so many future goals and ideas to incorporate into the practice. We also offer individual and couples counseling in the states of Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.
Jay is a licensed professional counselor & a holistic coach!
We have a health coach coming on board - TBD.
Group discussion topics may include things such as self-forgiveness, shame, guilt, anxiety, change, etc. These will be discussions, NOT therapy. This is a beautiful way to foster community and find meaning in some of our pain with others.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COACHING AND THERAPY?
Here is a brief summary of some of the differences:
Life coaching focuses on helping people set and achieve personal or professional goals, while therapy is for addressing mental health issues and promoting healing. Coaches use forward-looking strategies to empower clients, whereas therapists use therapeutic techniques to support emotional well-being. In terms of qualifications, life coaches may pursue certifications, while therapists typically hold advanced degrees and require licensure.
So, if you’re looking to improve specific areas of your life or work towards goals, a life coach might be the right fit. If you’re dealing with mental health challenges or seeking emotional support and healing from past experiences, therapy could be beneficial. It is important to understand these differences so you can choose the best support for your needs!
ARE YOUR SERVICES IN PERSON OR TELEHEALTH?
Currently, Janicki Holistic Healing is using a remote, HIPAA-compliant Google Workspace platform to keep all of your PHI (personal health information) secure, ensuring confidentiality on all fronts. Eventually, we would love to be in person and have an office space! If you are a coaching client and want to meet up in person, there are ways to do this - just some forms to sign :)
Being online is more accessible and convenient for many, especially if you’re booked, busy, and can only chat during your lunch break! We got you!
DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?
Currently, at Janicki Holistic Healing, we are an out-of-network (OON) provider. If you are receiving individual therapy, we will be able to provide superbills if they are needed for you to submit to your insurance company. Coaching does not fall under any insurance coding, so this cannot be submitted for reimbursement. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
DO YOU OFFER SLIDING SCALE?
We do offer select sliding scale slots for individual therapy and group discussions, as well as potential discounts for group discussions. We want to make groups and coaching accessible to all, even with financial strain. Please inquire if you feel that you need assistance to discuss further. *sliding scale dependent upon availability*
I DON’T LIVE IN PA. CAN I STILL ATTEND GROUP DISCUSSIONS?
Absolutely! Because this is a coaching, forward-focused practice, we believe access to these conversations and discussions about mental health and wellness should be accessible to all, no matter where you are located! Group discussions are also a great place to foster community, make some friends, and carry that out into the world with you. Back to our favorite quote: this is an incredible way to not only walk yourself home, but to help others walk themselves home as well!
IF I AM A COACHING CLIENT, CAN I JOIN THE GROUP DISCUSSION AS WELL?
OF COURSE!! All are welcome, so long as you are 18 years of age or above! Group discussion topics will change, we plan on having 1-2 few hours discussions per month. You can attend them all, you can ateend one, or none! Whatever resonates with you!
DO YOU HAVE A CANCELLATION POLICY?
We do, but we also understand that life happens. Please let us know via email or phone if you are unable to attend your appointment 24 hours in advance and we can do our best to reschedule you within the same week. If it is without 24 hours notice or there is a no show, your card on file will be charged the cost of the coaching session.
If you already paid for a group discussion, there are no refunds. However, you can use that payment to go toward another group discussion in the future! Thank you for understanding.
Life happens - just keep us posted and we will work with you the best we can!
