Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Your first session is a time for us to get to know you, understand your goals, and develop a plan tailored to your needs. It's a relaxed, confidential conversation — there's no pressure. We start with a free 10-minute consultation so you can determine if we're the right fit before committing.

Yes! We offer secure telehealth sessions via video for clients throughout North Carolina. Telehealth provides the same quality counseling from the comfort of your home. Simply schedule an appointment and we'll send you a secure link to connect.

Counseling focuses on healing from past experiences, managing emotions, and addressing mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, and grief. Coaching is more future-oriented — it helps you set goals, develop strategies, and achieve success in your career and personal life. We offer both and can help determine which approach is best for you.

As Christians, we offer faith-based support rooted in wisdom and compassion for those who desire it. However, we welcome clients of all backgrounds and tailor our approach to your comfort level and preferences. Our primary goal is your healing and growth.

We are a private-pay practice and do not bill insurance directly. This allows us to focus entirely on your care without the limitations insurance companies often place on treatment — such as requiring a diagnosis, restricting the number of sessions, or dictating the type of therapy used. Many clients find that paying privately gives them greater confidentiality, flexibility, and better outcomes. We can provide a superbill (detailed receipt) upon request that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. We accept payment via credit card, debit card, and HSA/FSA cards.

You can reach us by calling or texting 919-306-0207, or use the contact form on this page. We offer a free 10-minute consultation to help you get started. We'll work with your schedule to find a time that's convenient for in-person or telehealth sessions.

Dr. James Porowski is currently not accepting new individual clients. However, Ginny Porowski is accepting new clients for both counseling and coaching services. Please reach out to discuss how she can help you.
