Harmony in the relationships that matter most.

How quickly you see change depends on a lot: what you are working on, the goals you are after, and how the process unfolds along the way. Real change takes time and steady effort, and we are committed to your goals for the long haul. Most clients start with weekly sessions while we build momentum, then move to every other week or monthly as things settle.

Weekly is not the only pace, though. If you are not sure what is going on or what the next step should be, a Parent Strategy Session gives you clarity and a written plan in one focused visit, without committing to ongoing therapy. And when a situation cannot wait for the slow build of weekly work, the Family Reset Intensive condenses months of progress into a few focused, in-person days, curated for your family. We will help you find the pace that fits.

Concord Family Counseling is a private-pay practice and an out-of-network provider. We do not bill insurance directly. A superbill is available on request, which you may submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement or apply toward your yearly deductible, depending on your plan. Please note that insurance reimbursement usually requires a formal mental health diagnosis.

Your fee depends on whether you work with Lydia or with Halle, a graduate intern who offers a more accessible rate under Lydia's supervision. Standard 50-minute sessions range from $120 to $190, and most new clients begins with an 80-minute first session, which ranges from $150 to $275. Parent Strategy Sessions are $625 and include a pre-session intake, a two-hour working session with Lydia, and a written plan.

Payment is due at the time of service, and we accept Health Savings Account, credit card, cash, or check. You can see the full schedule on our Fees page.

The standard session is 50 minutes. Every new client begins with an 80-minute first session, which gives us room to understand your family and start well. Teens age 16 and 17 may begin with a 50-minute session. You are welcome to choose an 80-minute session any time more room would help.

Counseling has been found to have positive effects on mental health, life satisfaction, and relationships. Studies show that counseling can reduce symptoms of mental health issues, improve life satisfaction, and enhance communication and intimacy in relationships.
