Individual Counseling and Psychotherapy
Our individual counseling services provide a confidential and welcoming space where clients can explore personal challenges, emotional concerns, and life transitions.

Our therapeutic approach helps families and couples build understanding, trust, and emotional connection. We guide clients in developing practical tools for navigating challenges together. The goal is to foster stronger, healthier relationships that promote harmony and emotional wellness.
Group Counseling
Group counseling offers a supportive and collaborative environment where individuals can connect with others facing similar challenges. Participants benefit from shared experiences, mutual encouragement, and professional guidance. Group sessions help build interpersonal skills, emotional awareness, and healthy coping strategies. Our groups are facilitated with care, respect, and confidentiality. This setting allows clients to grow together while gaining insight and support along their healing journey.
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn and colleagues and is taught worldwide.
You will immerse yourself in the application of the MBSR practices in your daily life, including stress reduction, increased awareness, self-reflection, self-care, and self-esteem. The MBSR program supports health, healing, spiritual enrichment, and personal growth.
The MBSR 8-week program is the first step on the certification path to becoming an MBSR teacher. If you attend all 10 sessions, you will get a certificate that will entitle you to start your journey to become an MBSR teacher, if that is your wish.
The MBSR with Rossana is now together with the
MBSR Anytime™
developed by Rossana and Irena Danys. Therefore, you will take the 8 weeks, 9 sessions program and have access to the MBSR Anytime for 1 year. This is a wonderful way for you to review the teachings in the program and even take it again, at your own pace.

Insurance & Payment
Clients can pay for therapy with Rossana Magalhaes and Inner Light Meditation and Counseling Center using standard self-pay methods, including major credit cards, flexible spending accounts (FSA), and health savings accounts (HSA).
Depending on insurance credentialing of the practice, services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance provider via in-network benefits or out-of-network reimbursement (super bills). Because every insurance policy varies regarding deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance, clients are highly encouraged to contact their insurance representative directly to confirm how mental health and Telehealth sessions are covered.
Rates for International Tele-therapy
For clients residing outside the United States, tele-therapy offers a convenient way to access high-quality care from the comfort of your home.
Standard Rates: International clients typically utilize our standard self-pay rates, which range from $120 to $150 per session.
Payment Methods: We accept major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPall, and Venmo.
Scheduling: All sessions are scheduled in Eastern Time (ET). We will work with you to find a time slot that accommodates your local time zone.
Insurance Verification Guide
Since insurance plans vary widely, we recommend calling the member services number on the back of your insurance card to confirm your specific benefits.
We suggest the following questions to avoid surprise costs:
1- “Is Rossana Magalhaes (or Inner Light Meditation and Counseling Center) in-network with my specific plan?"
2- Do I have coverage for outpatient mental health teletherapy?
Ask specifically if there are restrictions on the location of the provider or client.
3- What is my deductible, and has it been met?
This determines how much you must pay out-of-pocket before insurance starts contributing.
4- What is my copay or coinsurance amount for a standard 53-minute session (CPT code 90837)?
5- Do I need a referral from my primary care physician or prior authorization to begin therapy?
6- If I am out-of-network, what is my reimbursement rate for superbills?"
Ask what percentage of the session fee they will reimburse you for after you pay us directly.
Cancellation Policy
We respect your time and reserve a specific hour just for you. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours' notice prior to your appointment time.
Missed sessions or cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice will incur a fee equal to the full price of the session ($120 to $150). Please note that insurance companies do not reimburse for missed sessions, so this fee will be the client's sole responsibility.
