Question 1

What insurance does AIC accept?

Accepted Answer

We’re a private pay practice, but we’re all about making our services accessible! If finances are a concern, just ask about some of our coaches' sliding scale options—we’re here to help.

Question 2

How long do sessions last?

Accepted Answer

Sessions can last anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours—whatever it takes! We don’t believe in cutting things short just when you’re getting to the good stuff. No strict time limits here. We’re all about giving you the time and space to get comfortable, dig deep, and tackle the real issues head-on. Let’s get to the root cause together, without the rush!

Question 3

How often would we meet?

Accepted Answer

It all depends on the package you choose! Our coaches are fantastic at what they do, and you or your child might want to chat with them often. We value your time (and ours), and we’re always happy to adjust to a higher tier if needed.

Question 4

How do I know if I need a coach?

Accepted Answer

The idea that someone "needs" therapy can feel a bit stigmatizing, but honestly, we believe everyone can benefit from chatting with someone outside their usual circle—someone with an unbiased perspective. But hey, maybe we're a little biased! A better question might be: "Has what you've been doing so far really gotten you where you want to be?"

Question 5

How do I pick a coach?

Accepted Answer

At Austin Integration Coaching, we make things easy by offering free consultations—so you can "shop around" without any hassle!

Question 6

Who is the target audience for your programs?

Accepted Answer

We work with everyone—from teens to adults! No matter where you are in life, we’ve got you covered!

Question 7

How involved can parents/ guardians be in their teens participation?

Accepted Answer

Unlike traditional therapy, we keep parents in the loop every step of the way! Depending on the package, parents can even get their own coaching session alongside their child. We're all about helping the whole family grow stronger together!

Question 8

I talk to my friends when I'm upset, how is a coach different?

Accepted Answer

Friends and family are awesome—keep those conversations going! But they can only take you so far. We're trained specialists here to fill in the gaps and guide you further!

Question 9

Why do you prefer to work with 3+ month contracts?

Accepted Answer

We do offer month-to-month packages, but we prefer working with 3+ month commitments. We totally get it—instant gratification is tempting, especially in today's tech-driven world. But think about it: it likely took years to get to where you are now, and change takes time too. We're not here for a quick fix—we’re here to help you make lasting, healthy changes, and that takes commitment. Just like we’re committed to supporting you!

Question 10

How long before my teen will see results?

Accepted Answer

Great question! Here’s the scoop: our approach isn’t about fixing your teen because they aren’t broken! Every teen is unique, and so is our coaching style. We start by understanding the needs of both parents and teens, then we craft a plan that supports healthy goal-setting. Remember, coaching isn’t therapy or counseling; it’s a journey of rewiring those thought patterns and habits that may have developed over time. We’re here to guide your teen towards a brighter, healthier mindset!

Question 11

What is the difference between teen coaching and counseling?

Accepted Answer

Counseling often dives into the past, helping individuals understand their feelings and behaviors, but sometimes this can lead to labels like “I’m depressed,” which can hold them back from making positive changes.
Many of our clients come to us after feeling stuck in the counseling cycle, ready to ditch the excuses and propel themselves forward.
In teen coaching, we take a different route! We don’t dwell on the past; instead, we focus on the bright future ahead. Don’t get it twisted—we work side by side with your therapist, psychiatrist, and anyone else you're collaborating with to get the most out of our time together. No matter what has happened before, everyone has the power to improve, grow, and find happiness. Let’s embrace that potential and move forward together!

Question 12

Why will my teen listen to you?

Accepted Answer

No offense… but it’s simple: we’re not you! It’s completely normal for teens to be more receptive to someone outside the family circle. We specialize in building trust and rapport, assuring your teen that we’re on their team and here to help them crush their goals.
We create a judgment-free zone where they can truly be themselves. And don’t get us wrong—we’re not afraid to hold their feet to the fire when they need a little extra push! Let’s team up and make some magic happen!

Question 13

What exactly is Integration Coaching?

Accepted Answer

Integration Coaching helps you bridge the gap between insight and real-life change. Whether you’ve been to therapy, a retreat, or just feel stuck, we help you process what’s under the surface and apply it to your daily life in a grounded, practical way.

Question 14

Is this therapy?

Accepted Answer

Nope — but it complements therapy beautifully. Our coaches don’t diagnose or treat mental health disorders. Instead, we meet you where you are and support emotional regulation, mindset shifts, nervous system healing, and real-world integration.

Question 15

Do you offer therapy?

Accepted Answer

While we don’t offer traditional therapy or bill insurance, some of our coaches — like Aaron (MA, LPC, LCDC) — are also licensed therapists. That means you get the best of both worlds: the clinical experience of a therapist with the flexibility and depth of integration coaching. Sessions are private-pay and designed to support your healing in a more holistic, personalized way.

Question 16

Can I just book a one-time session?

Accepted Answer

Sure, but we recommend starting with a discovery call so we can understand what you’re needing. From there, we’ll guide you toward the best option — whether it’s a single session, package, or retreat.

Question 17

What happens after I fill out the intake form?

Accepted Answer

We’ll reach out for a quick intro call. It’s casual and pressure-free — just a way for us to hear what’s going on and recommend the next step based on your needs.

Question 18

Do you offer retreats?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our Healing Retreat Intensives are deep-dive weekends that combine group healing, somatic work, and trauma processing. Think of it as months of progress in just a few days. More details on our [Retreats] page.

Question 19

What’s the difference between case management and coaching?

Accepted Answer

Case management is best for families or individuals navigating high-stress situations — whether it's a loved one in active addiction, gambling, legal trouble, or intense behavioral challenges. We step in to stabilize the chaos, connect you to resources, and create a clear plan forward.
Coaching, on the other hand, is for those who are ready to grow, heal, and make empowered changes in their life. Both paths are rooted in transformation — we simply meet you where you are and support the step you're ready for.

Question 20

Do you offer advice/can you help me learn more about plant medicine?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! If you're curious about plant medicine, want to explore whether a ceremony is right for you, or are preparing for a psychedelic-assisted therapy session with another provider, we've got you covered! Our team is here to provide valuable insights and knowledge tailored to your specific concerns.
Already had a session elsewhere? No problem! We can help you ground yourself and integrate your experience afterward, clarifying those therapeutic insights to supercharge your healing journey. We support you every step of the way—pre- and post-ceremony—and create a safe space for your transformative journeys. Let’s embark on this adventure together!

Question 21

What is psychedelic integration?

Accepted Answer

Psychedelic integration is all about taking the magic of your psychedelic journeys and weaving those insights into your everyday life! It’s an essential aftercare process that encourages personal growth and boosts emotional well-being.
This step is super important because it helps you make sense of those profound experiences, tackle any challenges that come your way, and unlock the transformative power of psychedelics for lasting, positive change. So, get ready to embrace your journey and watch the beautiful transformations unfold!

Question 22

Do I need to have experience with psychedelics before integrating?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not! We're here for anyone looking to better themselves, whether you’ve tried psychedelics before or not. No prior experience is required—we're excited to work with you wherever you are on your journey! Let’s unlock your potential together!
