How long can I expect to be in treatment?
Each person’s or couples’ goals are unique, as is their state of readiness and ability to implement learned strategies. The honest answer is that although you might begin feeling better as soon as your first appointment, there is no set time frame for completion of treatment that would be accurate for everyone. Therapy unfolds in its own way and time for each client. AK Counseling Services strives to speed up your progress with tailored treatment that incorporates evidence-based and clinically proven methods. By combining the most effective treatments with a thorough and customized plan, we see great results in less time.
Does AK Counseling Services accept insurance?
AK Counseling Services accepts cash, health savings accounts (HSA), and all major credit cards.

Please check with your insurance company regarding policies and reimbursement rates as health insurance plans and benefits vary.
