FAQs:

How do I know if I need counseling?

If stress, anxiety, grief, low confidence, ADHD, relationship struggles, or other challenges are affecting your daily life, talking to a licensed counselor can help you find clarity and practical ways to cope.

What happens during my first session in Katy?

Your first session is a chance to share what’s bringing you in, ask questions, and get comfortable with your counselor. There’s no pressure — we discuss goals together and form a treatment plan that makes sense to you. It helps if you come somewhat prepared for what you would like to share, but “winging it” is perfectly fine as well. I’ll guide you through it!

Is everything I share confidential?

Yes. Your sessions are private and protected, whether you meet us in person at our Katy office or through a secure telehealth call. There are some standard exceptions, as described in the HIPAA disclosure form. You will have a chance to review this information and ask questions with the counselor in your first session and any time thereafter.

Can I switch between in-person and telehealth sessions?

Absolutely. Many Katy clients mix both, meeting in our office when it’s convenient and switching to telehealth when their schedule gets busy.

How long does each session last, and how often will I need to come in?

Most sessions typically run for about 55-60 minutes. Your counselor will recommend a frequency, often weekly or biweekly to start, based on your goals and how you’re progressing.

What is the Cost/Do you accept Insurance?

Marcel Gamboa accepts Cigna, United (including Optum and UMR), BCBA, Aetna, and Curative. Private pay is $165, both for individual and couple’s sessions.

What age groups do you see?

At the Katy office, Marcel Gamboa primarily sees adults, but also teenagers 16 years and older. If you have a younger teenager that you believe might be a good fit, please call our office to consult first.
