Counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and client. Counselors help clients:

(a) Identify goals and potential solutions to problems that cause emotional turmoil

(b) Seek to improve communication and coping skills

(c) Strengthen self-esteem

(d) Promote positive behavior change and optimal mental health.

There is no simple answer to this question. Sometimes clients find the answer, resolution or level of understanding of an issue in as little as one session. For others, the issue is deeper rooted, and counseling can last for months or years.

Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the courage to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. In our work together, we’ll help you explore and identify your strengths and how to implement them to reduce the influence of the problems you are facing.

Medication can be effective but it alone cannot solve all issues. Sometimes medication is needed in conjunction with counseling. Our work together is designed to explore and unpack the problems you are experiencing and expand on your strengths that can help you accomplish your personal goals.

Because each person has different issues and goals for counseling, it will be different depending on the individual. We tailor our therapeutic approach to your specific needs.

We are so glad you are dedicated to getting the most out of your sessions. Your active participation and dedication will be crucial to your success.

If you cannot make an appointment, please let your therapist know as soon as possible. We do have a cancellation fee policy if your appointment is not cancelled outside of your 24-hour appointment window.

An Explanation of Benefits, or EOB, is sent to you after you’ve received medical care. It’s important to know that the EOB is not a bill. It will list:
• Services you received
• Total amount billed by the provider
• Health insurance payments made to date
• Costs that you are responsible to pay

The deductible is the amount you will pay for covered health care services before your insurance plan starts to pay. With a $2,000 deductible, for example, you will pay the first $2,000 of covered services. After you pay your $2000 deductible, you usually pay only a copayment or coinsurance for covered services.

A copay, or copayment, is a fixed amount paid by you to your health care provider at the time of your appointment for services covered by your insurance policy.

Yes we do. When calling or scheduling an appointment ask for or choose the online/ remote telehealth option for the time and day that best fits your schedule. 

When a therapist has a contract with an insurance provider and is included in the provider network connected to your health plan, they are known as being “in network." Learn more about our insurance provider options on our Rates & Insurance page.
