Who We Are...
My name is Lindsey Stenborg. I am a Licensed Family and Marriage Therapist and certified Play Therapist. I specialize in working with families, kids, tweens, and teens. My hope for my clients is that we can work together to help them achieve the happiness they really want as a family. I have worked with families who have experienced severe traumas, loss, changes in family situations, school issues, sibling issues, peer related stresses, and many other things. I utilize several therapeutic techniques including: child centered play therapy, expressive arts, sand tray, bibliotherapy, and traditional talk therapy. I truly believe that we each have the ability to make changes in our lives, but sometimes we need a some guidance or support to get through those changes.
Another thing about Family Wellness Counseling that sets us apart, is Milo Jones. Milo Jones is my 1.5 year old pug who is a certified therapy dog, aka Therapug! Milo brings so much joy and comfort to my clients. He is amazing at giving kisses, or just being something to cuddle with when needed. I have seen a very noticeable difference that he has made in my client’s lives since starting to come to the office. Now that he is certified we hope to start volunteering in our community as well.
Many people ask about what insurance I take or what my rates are. I currently do not accept insurance. I have found in the past that insurance companies really limit what we can do therapeutically. Many times there is a limit on the number of sessions they will cover, or they will not cover specific expressive therapies at all. I have also found that insurance companies require a formal diagnosis in order to cover services, and that they will only cover certain diagnosis. Many of my clients don’t fit into these boxes. I know that many clients rely on insurance to help off set the cost of therapy. I am able to provide out of network documentation that you can submit to your insurance company. I have also been able to accept many Health Saving Accounts. I also work with each family individually regarding the cost. I use a sliding scale fee system; meaning we discuss what you as a family could realistically afford for services, and we work together to find a what works for your budget.
