What can I expect in a counseling session?
A session usually lasts 60 minutes, although longer sessions might be considered useful. I typically recommend weekly sessions in the beginning. Between sessions, clients are encouraged to think about and process what was discussed. At times, you may be asked to do something specific outside of the therapy sessions, such as reading a relevant book or keeping records. For the therapy to "work," you must be an active participant, both during and between the therapy sessions.
What benefits can I expect from working with a therapist?
A number of benefits are available from participating. Often it is helpful just to know that someone understands. Counseling can provide a fresh perspective on a difficult problem or point you in the direction of a solution. The benefits you obtain from counseling depend on how well you use the process and put into practice what you learn.
I am not sure I want to turn this into my insurance company. Can I pay cash?
The choice is yours about whether or not to turn a claim into your insurance company. You are more than welcome to pay for the services outright. The cost will be $135 per hour. I accept cash, check and credit card.
