WHAT KINDS OF THINGS DO PEOPLE SEEK HELP FOR?
There are many reasons for a person to seek counseling such as life transition, feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, sadness, or feeling angry. People also seek out counseling to help change behaviors that are troubling them including addictive, traumatizing or disordered behaviors or behaviors that affect their relationships with friends, at home or at work. Other people seek out counseling because they know they are going through a difficult time or facing a difficult decision and they desire a place to sort through their feelings and move forward in their life with intention and clear thinking.
HOW DOES COUNSELING HELP?
When you are a willing participant in therapy, you could experience new insights situations, clearer thinking, abetter understanding of your feelings and needs, the release of troubling emotions. Therapy is a process, and a working relationship develops between client and therapist. Therapy is not always comfortable or straightforward. Clients should always feel comfortable with their therapist.
IS WHAT I SAY CONFIDENTIAL?
Yes. All client-therapist conversations are private and confidential. It is also confidential information that a person is meeting with a counselor. Only in rare exceptions when the safety of a client or other is at risk can disclosure of confidential.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT THE FIRST SESSION?
You can expect to talk about the concern(s) that brought you into counseling and also about your background and personal history. You can share on a level that feels comfortable for you.
HOW LONG DOES A COUNSELING SESSION TAKE?
Sessions are typically scheduled for 45 to 50 minutes and most people see their counselor once a week for consistent progress to be made.
HOW MUCH DOES COUNSELING COST?
A typical counseling session with a licensed, Master's level social worker costs from $100-120. Most insurances will cover some of this cost. If you have concerns regarding affording psychotherapy, we can discuss these and whether or not you may meet my guidelines for a sliding fee scale. I work out mutually agreeable payment options with all of my clients so that cost does not hinder them in pursuing counseling. While many clients are initially very concerned about whether or not they can afford to counsel, most find that as their life and priorities change new ways of funding therapy appear--whether through less need to consume to distract from pain or through new means of income due to increased energy and investment in life.
