First responders are on the frontlines, often risking their own lives to ensure the safety and well-being of others. They tirelessly respond to emergencies, providing critical medical care, fighting fires, and protecting our communities. The work they do is both physically and mentally demanding, exposing them to high levels of stress, trauma, and emotional challenges. It is essential to recognize the unique difficulties they face and to support their mental well-being.

By providing a safe and confidential space, she helps them process their experiences, manage stress, develop coping mechanisms, and improve overall mental resilience.

No Surprises Act & Good Faith Estimate

You may obtain a Good Faith Estimate of our charges upon request prior to scheduling with your therapist at Kaela Rae Vance LPCC-S, LLC. The No Surprises Act is a federal law which provides you with the right to a good faith estimate of the cost of services at our practice.  However, Ohio licensing board rules require us to provide you with the actual cost of our charges in a written format to which you must agree prior to our providing services. Please consider this practice policies document our required written notification, which has been made available to you prior to you being seen for services and prior to any billing. In most cases, it is impossible to estimate how many sessions you will need, and that will not be determined until your concerns are evaluated and will also vary based on the progress that you make, which depends in part on your efforts with the process. You will be free to discontinue services at any time or the services may otherwise be terminated in accordance with our practice policies defined herein. Although the No Surprises Act says that you may initiate a dispute process if the actual charges are substantially in excess of the Good Faith Estimated charges (i.e. if you are charged $400 more than the estimated cost for a session or for the total estimate provided), that is unlikely to happen and would be a violation of Ohio state licensing board rules, since you will be agreeing up front to actual charges per session prior to being seen. Dispute information is available upon request, however. Any changes to our fees will require a change in this practice policy, which you must agree to prior to having them go into effect, otherwise the existing fee structure will remain in effect.
