FAQ

What does counseling look like?

The counseling that I practice is known as talk therapy. Generally, this means you will come to the counseling session with an idea of what you want to talk about, whether that be depression, anxiety, or something else that has been concerning you. I have been trained to help you discover and begin to understand aspects of yourself that you may not have noticed on your own. This does not mean I give advice or tell you what to do. Working together, I will help you come up with answers to your own questions.

How do I know what counselor/therapist/consultant is right for me?

Whether or not counseling works is greatly dependent on whether or not you like your counselor. Not every counselor is a good fit for everyone. The best way to decide is to go to a couple of sessions and then trust your overall impressions. I will actively work with you to find solutions for your concerns and will be with you every step of the way.

How long will I/we be in counseling?

Every individual or couple is unique. I have had clients that accomplished what they wanted to in counseling in just a couple of sessions and others have continued the journey for a year or more. The length is dependent on what your goals are and how long you want to stay in counseling.

Does my insurance cover counseling?

We do not accept insurance. I am no longer a member of any insurance panels. We are happy to provide a receipt, which you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. They may or may not cover our services.

Is counseling right for me?

Trying something new can be a scary concept and it makes sense that you want to make sure that it's a good fit for you. In general, if you want to understand what you are going through on a deeper level so you can work through and make sense out of it, then counseling is right for you. If you’re struggling to cope, I can help you navigate these feelings and offer a path forward.
