Christian Counseling Services
Christian counseling is a thoughtful integration of God's Word with the best of developmental psychology to alleviate suffering and help the individual grow to the full maturity God intends. LCCN offers counseling services for all age groups and every imaginable difficulty. Our Christian counselors work from a solid understanding of God’s Word and a personal walk with Christ. Our counselors’ specialties include trauma, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and phobias, sexual abuse and childhood trauma, anger, addictions, and marriage and family issues. We also offer a premarital program for couples considering or seeking to be married.
LCCN has a staff of over 25 excellent counselors. To view detailed information about the training, background, and the counseling approach of our counselors, please review the biographies.
Fees for Services
Our fees range from $115.00 to $225.00 per session depending on the credentialing and experience of the counselor and, when applicable, the household income of the client. Fees and potential insurance reimbursement will be discussed by the intake staff when the initial appointment is scheduled. It is the client's responsibility to know what their insurance policy may reimburse. Payment is due at the end of each session when services are rendered. Daytime, evening, and weekend appointments are available.
Additionally, we offer sessions for $35 for individuals and $50 for couples with our Master’s-level interns. These counselors are at the end of their educational training and are now seeing clients as part of their clinical experience. They are fully supervised and qualified to practice in accordance with state law. Many of our interns are coming to counseling as a second career and often have many years of experience in church leadership, in the military, government, or professional settings.
Please note that next-day and same-day appointments require a non-refundable prepayment for session.
Reduced Fees for Churches
Many of our network churches are able to support counseling for their members with assistance for counseling fees, similar to the way some company Employee Assistance Plans work. In addition, we offer reduced fees to members of the churches where Life Christian Counseling Network has a counseling site. Please call Peter Buckingham, Practice Manager, at 301-292-2778 to discuss how LCCN can partner with your church.
Insurance
Life Christian Counseling Network is out of network with all insurance companies. Still, many of our clients are able to use out-of-network benefits to get reimbursement for sessions with licensed counselors. Clients can call their insurance companies and find out about their eligibility for reimbursement. Insurance companies will ask you for the billing codes (also called CPT codes) for your sessions. The code for the first session with a counselor is 90791. The code for the subsequent sessions is 90834. Our tax ID number is 201746252.
Tricare
Many Life Christian Counseling Network counselors are registered as Non-Network Tricare Certified Mental Health Counselors, which means Tricare will reimburse the maximum allowed amount.
