Go Deeper. Break Through.
Sometimes weekly sessions aren’t enough to create the momentum you need. Intensives give you extended time with your therapist to focus deeply, uncover root issues, and make meaningful progress in just a few hours.
At Changing Tides Counseling, our intensives are designed for both individuals and couples who want to work through challenges, strengthen connections, and experience real breakthroughs—without waiting months for change.
What to Expect
A supportive space to improve communication, rebuild connection, and work toward shared goals—together.
Focused Time
Instead of rushing through a weekly hour, intensives give you extended space to go deeper, stay with the hard moments, and create real breakthroughs.
Flexible Options
Choose from 2, 3, or 4-hour sessions, available for both individuals and couples. Scheduling is designed around your needs and availability.
Safe, Supportive Space
Our therapists create a compassionate, judgment-free environment where you can open up fully and make progress without distractions.

Insurance Billing
Our clinical social workers accept Anthem and United Healthcare insurance.
Our licensed social workers accept Anthem and Aetna.
Utilizing insurance can significantly reduce the cost of therapy. Please reach out to us and provide your insurance information for specific details on your insurance coverage and the cost of therapy.
Out of Network Insurance Billing
Changing Tides will happily provide you a bill for your services with us that you can provide to your insurance company for possible reimbursement called a “Superbill.” Each insurance company provides unique coverage or benefits and due to this we are unable to advise whether your insurance company will provide reimbursement. It is recommended that you contact your insurance company and ask if you have any “out of network” outpatient mental health coverage. We find that clients are frequently reimbursed for some portion of their services dependent upon their insurer.
*Associate Therapist Licensing Information
Our LSW therapists each hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work and are licensed social workers in Indiana. They are currently working towards obtaining their clinical social work license by working under a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides supervision for their work with clients. Due to this, they provide services at a reduced rate and only accept Anthem and Aetna insurance.
All clinicians are supervised by Krista Caughey, MSW, LCSW and Shelby Jo Reichle, MSW, LCSW.

The Changing Tides
At Changing Tides Counseling, our mission is to make therapy feel human — warm, genuine, and approachable. We believe healing happens best in a space that feels comfortable, not clinical; connected, not intimidating. Our team provides compassionate, client-focused support that meets people where they are and helps them move toward where they want to be.
By creating a supportive environment for both clients and staff, we nurture growth, connection, and understanding that ripple far beyond our office walls — into homes, relationships, and the wider community.

We strive to make therapy both accessible and sustainable.
- Private Pay Rates: Our session fees range from $50 to $145, depending on the clinician’s level of training and licensure.

Do you accept insurance?
We accept Aetna, Anthem, and United Healthcare. Using insurance often reduces the cost of sessions significantly.
How long will I be in therapy?
The length of therapy looks different for everyone. Some clients come for a few months to work on a specific concern, while others stay longer for ongoing support or personal growth. We’ll create a plan that fits your needs and adjust along the way — and you’re always welcome to return if new concerns come up.
How often do I need to attend therapy?
Most clients find it helpful to start with weekly sessions to build consistency and momentum. As you begin to feel more stable and confident, we’ll talk together about moving to biweekly or monthly sessions. The goal is to give you the right level of support at the start and then gradually transition as your needs change. We’ll always move at your pace, and there’s no pressure to rush the process.
