Individual Counseling

HOW DO I KNOW IF COUNSELING IS RIGHT FOR ME?

This is a great question and one I hear frequently. If you find yourself experiencing any of these symptoms regularly, it’s likely that counseling would be helpful to you:

Feeling stressed out, burned out, or worried all the time.
Wondering how much more “of this” you can take.
Isolating yourself and wishing someone would understand what you’re going through.
Feeling like you can’t express yourself to your family, friends, or loved ones.
Experiencing more anger frustration than usual.
Experiencing jealousy or resentment in your personal relationships.
Pushing people away when they try to support you.
Drinking more often than you should or drinking more than you intend
Using pornography
Fighting frequently with people you care about, especially a partner or spouse.

HOW CAN COUNSELING HELP?

Counseling/Therapy can help you identify and strengthen your positive qualities, provide support during a transition, help you understand and break negative patterns, help you gain perspective on a situation, solve a problem or heal from emotional wounds or upsetting experiences. Therapy can also help you understand yourself better and become more conscious of how your history, perceptions, feelings, attitudes and behavior patterns influence how you relate to others and move through the world. Therapy can help you grow as an individual and within the context of your relationships.

WHAT YOU GET OUT OF THERAPY

Permission to speak without judgement
Insight into the root of issues
Improve communication skills
Skills to boost emotional intelligence
Honest feedback from an expert
Personal and professional growth

DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE?

Through a group practice I work with (New Horizons Counseling Center) I am able to accept most Blue Cross Blue Shield Plans and Blue Care Network. I am not in network with any other insurance plans or Medicaid, but offer a very reasonable rate to self-pay clients who have high deductibles or an insurance I do not accept.

As a way to offer even more accessibility to services, I am a provider with Open Path Psychotherapy Collective. Clients who register with Open Path can receive services for as low as $50.00 per session. Please see the Open Path site for details: https://openpathcollective.org/client/

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” when you don't use insurance

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

● You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

● Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

● If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

● Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
