How is a therapist different than a mentor, friend, or someone close that you trust?

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I have specialized training in working with children, adolescents, and adults to address symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and depression.

How Long does the process take?

Therapy is a process, and every person is unique in what they need from counseling. I work with my clients to establish goals for treatment, develop a plan for evaluating progress on those goals, and determine the treatment frequency and length. Typically, counseling done on a regular basis will create a solid foundation, which can then be tapered off towards the end of treatment.

How much does therapy cost?

Individual sessions are $150 for the 60 minute intake session and $150 for future 50 minute sessions.

How does therapy work? What do I do in session?

Therapy starts with first building trust and a relationship. As these qualities develop through conversation, respect, and unconditional positive regard, we will begin processing your experiences, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors as they relate to your concerns. I will work with you to brainstorm solutions and help you reach your counseling goals at your pace.

Do you accept insurance?

No, I do not. However, this allows me to provide mental health services in a manner that is 100% confidential. Additionally, utilizing self-pay for counseling services empowers clients to choose the provider, treatment approach, and treatment length that is a best fit for THEM.
