Initial Visit:

Please arrive 10 minutes early in order to complete intake paperwork. ​At our first meeting we will assess your current strengths, abilities, needs, and concerns. If I am not the most appropriate person to help you or if you need a different level of help than individual counseling we will discuss other options that meet your needs.

Our services

We're here for you and your mental health needs

Length of Sessions:

I have two options for length of sessions, a standard 50-minute session and an extended 80-minute session. 

Frequency:

Sessions are usually held once or twice a week, based on your treatment needs and scheduling availability. In order to both organize my practice and guarantee clients regular times, I schedule a weekly (or biweekly) time slot for a client.  The majority of clients attend counseling once per week. In most cases, my recommendation is usually to attend at least once per week in order to maintain continuity.
Use of Diagnosis and Insurance
If your health insurance does reimburse you, most will require a diagnosis of a mental-health condition.  Some conditions for which people seek counseling do not qualify for reimbursement.  If a qualifying diagnosis is appropriate in your case, I will inform you of the diagnosis and discuss it with you before I issue a receipt for you to give to the health insurance company.  Any diagnosis made will become part of your permanent insurance records.
