Frequently Asked Questions

  • You can email me at christy@milkandhoneylou.com or contact me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. We’ll talk briefly about what you’re needing, answer any questions you have, and figure out if working together feels like a good fit.

  • Yes! I offer in-person therapy in Louisville, Kentucky. My office is warm, private, and intentionally designed to feel calm and welcoming. If you prefer virtual sessions, you’re always welcome to do therapy online as well, or even a mix of both if needed.

  • My office is located at 2304 Hurstbourne Village Drive, Suite #1200, in Louisville, KY. I also offer virtual sessions to clients located anywhere in Kentucky.

  • I see clients between 9-4 on Monday through Thursday, with my latest session of the day at 3pm. I do not offer evening or weekend appointments at this time.

  • Online therapy is held through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You’ll receive a private link before each session, and all you need is a quiet space, a solid internet connection, and a phone, tablet, or computer. Many clients find online therapy just as effective—and often more convenient—than in-person sessions.

  • Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and any questions or hesitations you have. It’s also a time to get a feel for the space—virtual or in-person—and make sure it feels like a good fit for you.

  • There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some clients come in with a specific goal and attend for a few months. Others stay longer for deeper healing and growth. We’ll check in regularly about how things are going and make sure therapy continues to support you in meaningful ways.

  • I am a Christian and have specific training in incorporating Christian faith into counseling. However, you do not need to identify as Christian to see me. I see individuals from many worldviews and only incorporate faith into counseling upon a client’s request. I do not push my faith onto my clients.

Investment & Insurance

If you don’t see your question here, click here to get in touch.

  • The fee for a 50-minute session is $150 after the initial 75-minute intake session which is $200.

    This includes EMDR, sex therapy, and perinatal mental health care. There’s no additional charge for specialized modalities.

  • Because that’s exactly what it is—an investment in your healing, your peace, your relationships, and your future.

    Many of the women I work with are high-achieving and overfunctioning—used to holding it all together, showing up for everyone else, and putting their own needs last. Therapy can be a radical shift. It’s one of the few spaces where it gets to be about you.

    It’s not always easy to slow down and care for yourself in this way, but it’s one of the most meaningful choices you can make. You’re not just spending money—you’re investing in a version of yourself that feels more grounded, whole, and connected.

  • I’m considered an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. This allows us to work together without the constraints of diagnosis requirements, session limits, or insurance-driven treatment plans.

    However, many of my clients use out-of-network benefits to receive partial reimbursement for therapy. I am happy to provide a superbill (detailed invoice) after each session that you can submit to your insurance provider.

    If you have out-of-network mental health benefits, I recommend calling the number on the back of your insurance card and asking:

    • Do I have out-of-network mental health coverage?

    • What percentage is reimbursed per session?

    • Do I need to meet a deductible first?

  • Because it allows therapy to be done the way it’s meant to be: centered on you, not your insurance company.

    When you work with an out-of-network therapist, you’re choosing care that’s:

    • Private and protected

      Insurance requires a mental health diagnosis for coverage, and that diagnosis becomes part of your permanent health record. Working together out-of-network allows us to keep your story confidential and off insurance paperwork.

    • Led by your needs, not red tape

      Insurance often dictates how long therapy “should” take, what’s considered severe enough to treat, and which approaches are covered. But healing doesn’t follow a script. You deserve therapy that’s tailored to your experience—not squeezed into a box.

    • Deep and flexible

      This model gives us space to go deeper. Whether you’re doing EMDR, exploring parts work, unpacking sexual trauma, or simply trying to feel like yourself again—we can move at a pace that honors your nervous system and your readiness.

    • Truly client-centered

      You choose the focus. You choose the rhythm. You don’t need to be in crisis to seek support. Therapy can be a space for growth, clarity, grief, embodiment, and everything in between.

    For many of my clients—especially those who’ve tried therapy before and still feel stuck—this kind of care is a breath of fresh air. It’s therapy that’s built for real life and deep healing, not just symptom management.

  • I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients facing financial hardship. However, at this time I have no sliding scale slots available.

    If cost is a concern, please still reach out—if I don’t have a reduced spot available, I’ll gladly offer referrals to trusted colleagues.

  • Payment is due at the time of service. I accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as HSA/FSA cards. Your payment information is stored securely in my HIPAA-compliant client portal.

  • Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate that outlines the expected cost of your therapy. This helps ensure transparency and clarity around fees. I’ll provide your estimate at the start of therapy, and you’re always welcome to ask questions about cost or frequency of sessions.
