What to Know Before Booking a Counseling Session with Helene Rothschild

Updated

Helene Rothschild, MS, MA, LMFT (license MFC 16586), offers remote counseling sessions by telephone, FaceTime, Zoom, or WhatsApp, and the site lists a new-client special of $39 for a 15-minute reading/healing counseling session. You can request an appointment by emailing her through the contact page, and insurance receipts are available. These details suit someone who wants a short, low-commitment first session and is comfortable meeting by phone or video rather than in person. The site does not state in-person availability, session lengths beyond the 15-minute intro offer, or standard rates after the intro session, so confirm those directly when you book.

What the site says about sessions

The homepage describes the work as a "holistic and rapid transformation" counseling session aimed at healing the past so you can "live in the present and create a new future." Helene Rothschild is described as a licensed marriage, family therapist, psychotherapist, intuitive counselor, author, teacher, and speaker, and as the developer of the HART process (Holistic And Rapid Transformation).

Practical points stated on the page:

  • Format: telephone, FaceTime, Zoom, or WhatsApp — all remote.
  • New-client offer: $39 for a 15-minute reading/healing counseling session, including animal readings.
  • Separate offer: a "New Client Special Spiritual Session" at $39 for 15 minutes of reading/healing.
  • Paperwork: insurance receipts available.
  • Booking: schedule by sending an email through the contact page.

Choosing between the two intro offers

The site lists two $39, 15-minute new-client options that sound similar but are framed differently. Use the descriptions as your guide:

Option How the site frames it Reason to pick it
Reading/Healing Counseling Session Counseling session that includes animal readings You want a counseling-framed session, or you want a reading that can include a pet
Spiritual Session (Reading/Healing) Spiritual session focused on reading/healing You want the session framed as spiritual rather than as counseling

Both are described as 15 minutes at $39 for new clients. If you are unsure which fits, say so in your booking email and ask her to confirm the difference before you pay.

What to prepare before you email

Because the first contact is by email and the session is short, a little preparation makes the 15 minutes count:

  1. State your preferred format. Name the channel — phone, FaceTime, Zoom, or WhatsApp — and include the contact detail needed for it (phone number or account).
  2. Say which offer you want. Specify the $39 reading/healing counseling session or the $39 spiritual session, and mention if you want an animal reading included.
  3. Ask about scheduling and time zone. The site does not list hours or time zone, so propose a few windows and ask her to confirm.
  4. Ask what the 15 minutes covers. With a short intro session, decide in advance whether you want a reading, a healing focus, or a quick sense of whether to continue.
  5. Request the insurance receipt if you need one. The site says receipts are available; ask how it will be issued so you have it for reimbursement.
  6. Ask about follow-on sessions and cost. Standard rates and session lengths beyond the intro offer are not published, so ask before you commit to ongoing work.

What to expect and where to be careful

The site's tone is promotional — it promises help being "happier, healthier, prosperous, slimmer, and more successful" and refers to the "Law of Attraction." Treat these as the practitioner's own framing rather than guarantees, and judge the fit from your first session.

Two cautions worth noting:

  • Verify the license. The page states LMFT license MFC 16586. If licensure matters to you, confirm the status with the relevant state board before booking.
  • Don't assume in-person care. Every format listed is remote. If you need in-person therapy, this practice as described on the site is not the match.

The site also mentions complimentary psychic readings (three questions about others, pets, or yourself, scheduled by email), plus books, audio, tele-classes, reports, workshops, and classes if you want to explore her approach before or instead of a session.

Bottom line

Book if you want a brief, low-cost remote first session with a licensed therapist who blends counseling with intuitive and spiritual reading work, and you are fine arranging everything by email. Before paying, confirm the session type, the time, the format, and what happens after the 15 minutes — and ask for the insurance receipt up front if you plan to claim one.
