We have several counseling options depending on your budget, insurance, and issue. We’re ready to help you choose, or you can browse our counselor bios.
Once scheduled, you’ll receive a login to your private client portal. You will complete new client paperwork and manage your appointment times and billing documents. Your clinician will review this paperwork before your first appointment.
New Client Paperwork:
We are a 100% paperless and virtual office. Once you’re booked, you’ll receive an email with paperwork to complete before your first appointment. If you feel more comfortable filling out paper intake forms, we will have them in our office when you arrive. They will be uploaded into your HIPAA-compliant client portal and then shredded (therefore, we highly recommend online forms).
**NOTE: If you do not fill out forms 24 hours before your appointment, your session will be canceled until you can complete them.
Fee Information:

Session fees range from $45 to $195, depending on the counselor’s experience. Our scheduling staff will be able to schedule you with a counselor who both meets your needs and meets your budget.
Legal fees: $200 per hour. This includes appearing in court, copying records, testifying, copying records, drive time, wait time, depositions, and court proceedings. new clients
FORMS OF PAYMENT:
Payment is due at the time of service. Our office takes Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Health Savings Accounts (HSA), Debit Cards, or PayPal (email to info@ichoosechange.com). All checks returned unpaid will be subject to a $25 administrative and processing fee.
**Please note that no-shows and cancellations not made 24 hours in advance by telephone will be billed at the full rate of your session. e
INSURANCE:
Some counselors accept BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD (BCBS), UNITED HEALTHCARE, and AETNA. Before scheduling, you will be given information about your client fee and insurance status.

Locations:
Allen Office:
1514 N. Greenville Ave., Suite 310
Allen, Texas 75002-1205
The Allen office is tricky to find. Our complex is across from St. Jude’s Church on North Greenville Avenue, between Stacy Rd. and Exchange Pkwy. You’ll see two white buildings facing Greenville Ave. We are located in the white building behind those two white buildings. See map below:
McKinney Office:
107 1/2 S. Tennessee Street
McKinney, Texas 75069
Our McKinney is a bit hard to find, too! It’s just above Emporium Pies and next to “Groovy Coop” in downtown McKinney Square. When you’re standing outside facing Emporium Pies, our door is to the right of their front windows. (Don’t forget to get the office door code before you arrive!)
Virtual Office:
Wherever you want (in Texas)!
Teletherapy is as easy as having an internet connection and a device to connect. Schedule video appointments just as you would an in-office appointment.
