How to take the first step.

Starting therapy at Rising Rose Relational Therapy begins with a free 15-minute fit call. If it's a fit, you receive intake paperwork (informed consent, telehealth consent, and a Good Faith Estimate), a card is stored before the first session, and sessions are by video for 50 or 80 minutes. You need to be physically in Ohio for every session. Rising Rose sees couples, families (ages 10 and up), and individuals (ages 18 and up).

Common questions

Do you take insurance?

No, this is a cash-pay practice. HSA and FSA cards are accepted. You can submit a superbill to your plan for possible out-of-network reimbursement. This protects your confidentiality and right to service without barriers.

Is this telehealth only?

Yes — anywhere in Ohio, with your location confirmed at the start of each session. Not accepting out-of-state clients at this time. Here’s how online couples therapy works.

What happens on the fit call?

It's a free 15-minute call. You describe what's happening, Anjelica asks a few questions, and she tells you honestly whether she thinks she can help. If it isn't the right fit, she'll say so. Please save health details for the call rather than the form.

What do I need for a video session?

A private room, a laptop or tablet with a camera (a phone works in a pinch), headphones if others are home, and a steady internet connection. Sessions take place by video using SimplePractice.

Who do you work with?

Couples, families (ages 10 and up), and individuals (ages 18 and up), anywhere in Ohio. Anjelica is an LGBTQ-affirming therapist, and everyone is welcome. Ohio LPCs and MFTs looking for training supervision can see the supervision page.

What is the cancellation policy?

The full fee amount will be charged to the card on file for cancellations or no-shows with less than 24 hours notice. This information is included in the practice policies consent form.

Do you keep secrets in couples therapy?

No. There is a written no-secrets policy. Individual breakout sessions are for assessment, not a parallel individual therapy with hidden material.

What about a crisis?

This practice is not a 24-hour crisis service. Call 988 or 911, or go to the nearest emergency department.
