Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer in-person or online therapy?

Both! Clients in California can schedule telehealth appointments while Idaho clients can schedule either telehealth or in-person appointments.

In-office sessions provided in Eagle, Idaho at the Eagle Therapist Collective.

What is your cancellation policy?

To avoid a missed-session fee clients are asked to cancel appointments at least 48 hours in advance. Cancelling less than 48 hours in advance or failing to show up to your appointment will incur a charge equal to the full session fee amount. Insurance does not cover missed session fees; payment for the missed session will be due at the time of the scheduled appointment.

How much does therapy cost and how long will I need it?

The initial intake session is $265, and ongoing sessions are $250 each. Sessions are typically scheduled weekly or biweekly, with frequency gradually decreasing as progress is made.

The length of therapy varies depending on your goals and needs. Some clients benefit from short-term therapy (about 3–6 months), while others choose longer-term therapy (12+ months) to support deeper work and maintain lasting progress.

Do you accept insurance?

Dr. McWaters is in-network with Blue Cross and can provide a superbill upon request for all other insurance companies. Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, you may receive a partial reimbursement for sessions with out-of-network providers.

Do you provide faith-based therapy?

Dr. McWaters offers Christian, biblically based therapy for individuals who request it. She has experience working with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and belief systems. Regardless of a client’s beliefs or religious affiliation, Dr. McWaters is committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based care.
