How do I choose the right counselor?

I consider counseling a sacred space. The client/counselor relationship is therapeutic. My hope is to provide a safe environment where we can delve into what concerns you. Sessions are intimate where we learn and share. Counselors are humans too and the therapeutic relationship should feel like a "good fit", where you are comfortable being yourself. As the client you hold the control, if you have concerns please let me know so we can address the issues together.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes! Federal and State Law prohibits sharing any information without your written permission. 

Our sessions are entirely confidential with the exception of a court order requesting the disclosure of information, if you grant me the right to share information, or if you are a harm to yourself or others. Also, if there is neglect or abuse of a child, I must disclose and share information. 

What should I expect for my first counseling session?

If you have never been to counseling before the process may be scary if you don’t know what to expect. The first step is to call. At that time we can briefly talk about what is going on in your life and if counseling is a good fit for you. Then we schedule a time to meet at my office

During our initial sessions, it will be helpful for me to understand why you are seeking counseling, what your immediate needs are, and what your background looks like (family, relationships, medical, personal).  Together we will create a treatment plan for short and long-term therapeutic goals for a more balanced life.  

How long are counseling sessions?

Counseling sessions are 50 minutes long. 

What does a counseling session cost?

Counseling sessions cost $150. I accept cash, check, all credit cards and HSA (health savings accounts).

Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept insurance directly, however, I am able to provide you with the information needed for your submission to your insurance company for reimbursement. I encourage clients to check with their insurance provider to learn more about their out-of-network provider benefits.
