About Hayzlett Counseling Co.

We are not in-network with any insurance providers, but your insurance may offer out-of-network benefits to help cover the cost of our services. If you have out-of-network benefits, we’ll verify them for you and provide documentation to support your reimbursement claims, or you may pay in full and submit claims for reimbursement directly to your insurance.

Please be aware that your insurance company will require a diagnostic code from the DSM-5 diagnostic manual for your claim to be considered for reimbursement, and this may become part of your permanent medical record, which could affect you in several ways, such as qualifying for life insurance or obtaining certain security clearances.

Yes! We reserve a percentage of our caseload for sliding-scale clients, so if you need a reduced rate, please add this request in the comment section of the contact form. These spots are income-based and require reapplying every six months to ensure space is available for others.

If you are unable to wait for a spot to open, we’re happy to provide you with a referral list, and we encourage you to check out Open Path for practitioners with sliding-scale openings.

Our fees vary depending on the clinician's experience and the type of therapy.

Licensed Therapists hourly rate varies between $160-$180 for 50 minute psychotherapy, $200-$210 for 50 minute couples therapy, $240-$260 for 75 minute trauma therapy, and $250-$270 for 75 minute couples counseling.

After our consultation call, you’ll receive intake paperwork through Simple Practice’s patient portal. This will include practice policies, information about HIPAA and confidentiality, payment details, and a short questionnaire to help us learn more about you.

For following sessions, feel free to prepare in whatever way works best for you! Between sessions, you might practice mindfulness or communication skills, read a book, or explore other tools we discuss together. When it’s time for your session, you could grab a coffee on the way or, if you’re meeting from home, set up a comfortable and private space where you feel at ease.

We’ll meet at one of the local Nashville trails/greenways. Of course, we’ll chat about that before we meet. Your therapist will send you a reminder email with directions the first time, and you’ll meet in the parking lot and go from there! Some of these trails are perfect for an hour loop, while others are in-and-out trails, so your therapist will set a timer for you to go out for about 25 minutes and then turn back to get you back to your car by the end of the hour.

Often we find some places to sit and enjoy nature along the way, so don’t worry about your ability to walk for an hour. We are happy to adjust to all body comfort/ability needs.

First, we’ll schedule a 20-minute consultation call to get to know each other. During this call, the therapist will explain the intake process and what working together might look like. You’ll also have the chance to share what you’re looking for and what you hope to accomplish. A consultation call with a therapist is a brief (usually 15-20 minutes) conversation where potential clients can ask questions, learn about the therapist’s approach, and determine if they feel like a good fit before scheduling a full session. It’s an opportunity to discuss therapy goals, ask about specialties or treatment styles, and address any concerns about the process—all in a no-pressure, no-commitment setting.

Fill out our contact form! From there a therapist will reach out via text or email to schedule a consultation or first session.

Yes! We have a clinician who is trained in couples counseling therapies. Check out Mandy Middleton's bio.
