Genuine connection between you and your counselor is a prerequisite to successful therapy.  During our free initial 15-mintues phone consultation and at the beginning of therapy, we will evaluate our connection to make sure that we are a good fit in our counseling relationship. In the event this doesn’t happen I will provide referrals to other local counselors who might be a better fit for you. My clients know that I practice with integrity and always have their best interests in mind.

During the initial session we will briefly review the important parts of your paperwork and your presenting concerns. We will discuss what changes are you looking to make through counseling and develop your individualized treatment goals to help guide your healing process. After that, we will begin establishing trusted therapeutic relationship and genuine connection, where you will feel safe and understood while gradually working though your toughest feelings and challenges.

Paying out of pocket or using your insurance is a personal preference and a financial commitment. Using your insurance requires you to have a diagnosis in order to get reimbursed for counseling services. Some people are not comfortable to have this in their mental health record. Sometimes client’s symptoms don’t meet criteria for an official mental health diagnosis. Additionally, insurances place some restrictions on the number of sessions allowed and the way your therapy needs to be structured. In contrast, when you decide to use private pay you have more flexibility in how you want your treatment to proceed.
