How We Work With Hastings Clients
You don’t have to travel to Grand Island for every therapy appointment.
Telehealth therapy: We offer secure video appointments to clients located anywhere in Nebraska. You’ll need an email address, a reliable internet connection, and a private space where you can speak comfortably. Telehealth can be especially convenient for working adults, busy parents, and individuals who have difficulty traveling regularly.
In-person counseling: Our office is located at 403 Lexington Cir, Grand Island, NE 68803. Hastings residents are welcome to schedule in-person appointments, including services that may be better suited to a face-to-face setting.
Some clients prefer the consistency of online sessions, while others find it easier to connect in person. We’ll help you explore which format is appropriate for your needs and the services you’re seeking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have an office in Hastings?
No. Our counseling office is located at 403 Lexington Cir in Grand Island, Nebraska, approximately 30 minutes from Hastings by car. We welcome Hastings residents for in-person appointments at our Grand Island location. We also offer secure telehealth appointments for clients throughout Nebraska, allowing many individuals to receive counseling without traveling.
Is telehealth as effective as in-person therapy?
Research suggests that telehealth can be an effective option for many mental health concerns, although results depend on the individual, treatment approach, and circumstances. Some services, particularly certain child-focused interventions and specialized evaluations, may be better suited to in-person care. We’ll discuss your needs and help determine whether online or office-based treatment is appropriate.
What insurance do you take?
Alfrey & Pruitt Counseling Services accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare. Coverage depends on your specific plan, provider participation, and the service being requested. Some specialized evaluations may have different coverage requirements. Contact our office with your insurance information so our team can help verify benefits and discuss potential out-of-pocket costs.
How quickly can I get started?
When you contact us about services, our team aims to respond to new inquiries within one business day. We’ll discuss what you’re looking for, your preferred appointment format, and insurance information. Actual appointment availability depends on clinician schedules, the service requested, and finding an appropriate clinical fit. We’ll explain the next steps before scheduling.
Can my child do therapy by telehealth?
Telehealth may work well for some older children and teenagers, depending on their age, comfort level, attention, and treatment needs. Younger children, particularly those receiving play therapy, often benefit more from in-person sessions. We see children ages 3 and older and can talk with you about the most appropriate format for your child’s developmental needs.
