Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions of your insurance provider:

• Do I have mental health insurance benefits?

• What is my deductible and has it been met?

• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

• Is approval required from my primary care physician?

It takes courage to ask for help and we know that choosing to undergo counseling or therapy can feel intimidating.  Admitting you can’t do everything on your own is the first step toward achieving wellness in a fast paced, demanding world.  The good news is, asking for help gets easier with a little practice. The way in which we cope in the world is greatly influenced by how we see the world. Asking for help and obtaining a fresh perspective is often the first and most profound step towards developing the mental muscle needed to become stronger. The more support you gain, the better equipped you will be to take on bigger challenges and achieve more successes.  We will cultivate a safe environment where we will listen to you and support you. 

Many studies have shown throughout the years that therapy is an effective form of treating and managing mental illnesses, other emotional disorders, and can produce long-term health improvements.  Additionally, there is a growing body of research that supports the practice of various therapeutic techniques and reveals individuals that practice these techniques are happier, more resilient, and better equipped to heal painful memories from the past.  

During our initial meeting we will discuss your specific areas of concern as well as assess if we are the right client/therapist fit. From there, we will be able to create your personalized treatment plan and discuss how it can best work into your day-to-day life. As a team, we utilize resources in the community for medication consultations and psychological evaluations.
