Frequently asked questions

A clear, comfortable place to start.

Beginning therapy can bring up practical questions. These answers offer a general overview; you are welcome to reach out if you would like to discuss your situation.

Do you offer telehealth appointments?

Yes. Bayview Counseling is a telehealth-only practice for adults across Florida, with a focus on Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. Sessions are held through a secure online platform so you can meet from a private, comfortable location.

What can I expect in the first session?

The first session is a chance to talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope may change, and whether working together feels like a good fit. You do not need to have everything organized or know exactly where to begin.

How do I schedule an appointment?

You can request an appointment through the contact page or use the telehealth scheduling link. Ralph will follow up with next steps and availability.

Do you accept insurance?

Bayview Counseling accepts some insurance plans. Please review the booking page or call or email to confirm whether your coverage is accepted before booking.

What are your fees?

Individual sessions are $250 and couples sessions are $350. A sliding scale may be available for self-pay clients. Please call or email with questions about fees or payment options.

Is therapy confidential?

Therapy is confidential within the limits of applicable law and professional ethics. Ralph will review privacy, confidentiality, and its important exceptions with you before treatment begins.

What should I share in an inquiry?

A brief note with your name, preferred contact method, general availability, and what kind of support you are seeking is enough. Please do not include sensitive clinical details in an online inquiry.

What if I am in crisis or need urgent help?

This website and its contact options are not monitored for emergencies. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a crisis, call 911 or 988.

Still have a question?

A brief conversation can help you decide whether therapy at Bayview Counseling is the right next step.
