Details of Counseling Services

Counseling resources are available by appointment only and include individual, couple and family counseling. I do not offer testing, medication or hospitalization services. When these services are needed, however, I will coordinate the appropriate referral.  I do not see clients younger than thirteen years of age.

Counseling services are designed to help individuals gain insight into personal issues, concerns and problems resulting from being human in a complex and sometimes difficult world. The focus of my services is on developing skills necessary to deal effectively with life’s issues and personal transitions. It is my responsibility to listen, to understand and to be helpful. A helping professional cannot solve a client’s problems. Instead, the counselor assists with learning coping skills and increasing one’s potential as a fully functioning, continually developing and always-unique person.

The client’s responsibility is to help the counselor understand the client’s life situation, thoughts and feelings and to be as honest as possible in the therapy relationship. The client needs also to challenge her or himself to try new methods to manage problem areas.

Fees

The current fee for a 45-50 minute session is $90.00 and may be covered partially by your medical health insurance. Most major insurances are accepted. Fees for report preparation and other services are detailed in the Information and Consent Document received once taken on as a client. There is a $40.00 return check fee regardless of reason; $45.00 is charged for missed appointments and when notice is not given at least 24 hours in advance. These charges are not reimbursable through any insurance.
