Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started?
You have two options:
If you'd like to get a feel for how I work before committing, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. You'll share a little about what's bringing you in, I'll answer any questions you have, and we can figure out if we're a good fit.
If you're already ready to dive in, you're welcome to book a full session directly. We'll use that first session to get to know each other and start mapping out what you need.
Either way, reaching out is the right move. Email me at info@amandarebel.com or call/text 720-381-4110.
What does it cost to work with you?
My fee is $185 per 50-minute session. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) sessions, including preparation and integration, are $200 per 60 minutes.
If you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance may reimburse a portion of the cost. I can provide a monthly superbill to submit to your insurer. See below for more on that.
Do you take insurance?
I accept United, Aetna, and Kaiser Colorado.
Can I use my out-of-network benefits?
Possibly, yes. Many insurance plans offer partial reimbursement for sessions with an out-of-network licensed therapist. To find out what your plan covers, contact your insurer and ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits. A few things worth asking:
Do my benefits cover services from a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)?
What percentage is reimbursed after my deductible?
How many sessions are covered per year?
Do I need prior authorization?
What's the process for submitting a superbill (CPT code 90837)?
I provide a monthly superbill with everything your insurer needs to process a claim.
I'm nervous about starting therapy. Is that normal?
Completely. Most people feel some version of this — whether it's not knowing what to expect, worrying about being judged, or just the vulnerability of talking about hard things with someone new. You don't have to arrive composed or knowing what to say. Showing up uncertain is just as valid a starting place as any other. My job is to make the room feel safe enough that you can figure it out as we go.
How do I know if you're the right therapist for me?
Read through the site and notice what resonates. If something here feels like it's speaking to you, that's usually worth paying attention to. The free consultation is a low-stakes way to take the next step — you can ask questions, share what's going on, and get a feel for how I work. I'll be honest with you about whether I think I can help, and we can go from there.
What happens in the first session?
It's a conversation, not an intake form. I'll invite you to share what's been going on and what brought you in. We might talk about what's felt helpful or unhelpful in the past, what you're hoping for, and what you're most worried about.
At the end of the session, I leave time for us to check in — you can decide right then if you'd like to meet again, or take some time to think it over. There's no expectation either way. What matters most is that you leave with a sense of whether this feels like the right fit.
How long does therapy take?
It varies, and I'll be honest, rather than give you a number that sounds reassuring but means nothing. Most clients start noticing a shift within the first few sessions — a little more clarity, a bit more room to breathe, relief that they have a place and person to go to for support. Some people work with me for a few months around a specific issue. Others stay for a year or more as the work deepens. We'll check in regularly about where you are and what still feels useful.
What if I don't want to talk about something?
You never have to. There's no checklist to get through, no requirement to share anything before you're ready. If something feels too big or too raw, we can acknowledge that it's there and work around the edges until it feels more approachable. You set the pace.
