Get Started

Generally, clients are seen once a week for a 50-minute session. Some of our counselors prefer to see couples for an extended 80-minute session. Occasionally, a client’s needs may require more than one session a week, and for others, every other week is the best fit.

The health and safety of our clients and clinicians are of utmost importance.

Staff precautions: All of our staff are fully vaccinated for Covid-19. If your clinician has a close contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid-19 and needs to isolate, they may offer you a telehealth appointment using our HIPAA compliant platform. Staff complete health screenings before providing in-person services and will not offer in-person services while knowingly contagious for any communicable illness. Staff will also remain masked during in-person sessions. And BCC makes rapid tests available to staff upon request.

‍

Client precautions: Clients are required to complete Covid-19 screening and acknowledgement forms before attending in-person services.

If you are feeling unwell or a isolating after exposure to a communicable illness you may request that your session be held remotely through our secure video platform.

Building Precautions: BCC offers N95 face masks, hand sanitizer and well ventilated therapy spaces. Each room is equipped with air filters that will run during the session. Beverages are not currently offered within our facility.

During the intake process, you are welcome to indicate your choice of counselor. We try to honor your preference if the counseling need fits the counselor’s expertise and they have matching availability. Our goal is to connect you with a counselor that is a comfortable and clinical fit where good work can be accomplished together.

Not at all. We see clients of all faiths and those that profess no faith. While Berkeley Christian Counselors is a faith-based non-profit and all of our counselors are Christians from various traditions and denominations, you do not need to be a Christian to be seen here. We are committed to meeting you where you are in your journey, and faith will be a part of the process to the extent that you indicate. Should you wish to talk about it, our counselors are prepared to integrate faith into the counseling process.

All of our clinical staff have professional training from accredited graduate level programs in their respective fields. Clinical staff includes trainees who are completing their master's degree requirements; associates who have earned their master's degree and are working toward licensure; and licensed clinicians who are regulated by the state of California.

We accept cash, check and credit card payments via PayPal.

We do not take insurance and would be considered an out-of-network provider. Upon request, we can provide you a monthly statement, or superbill, to submit to your insurance company for any reimbursement that your policy may provide. It is recommended that you contact your insurance carrier ahead of time to confirm policy coverage for mental health services. Payment to Berkeley Christian Counselors remains due at the time of service.

Your generous gift helps provide assistance for individuals and families in need of counseling who, otherwise, could not afford it.
