Attention Wake Forest & Atrium Health Team Members!

If you’re part of the Wake Forest or Atrium Health community and have been covered under Carolina Behavioral Health, I want you to know that I accept Aetna Health Insurance for counseling services — including behavioral health benefits.

Wake Forest’s employee behavioral health coverage transitioned to Aetna earlier this year, and many Atrium plans are also moving under Aetna administration for 2026. That means you may now have access to in-network counseling support with me under your plan. (As always, it’s a great idea to double-check your specific benefits or call Aetna to confirm in-network status.)

If you’re looking for therapy that’s supportive, real, and tailored to where you are in life, I’m here and in-network with Aetna. You can reach me by text at 336-669-7340, lisa@lisabestcounseling.com or at my Psychology Today Profile. I'll post the link in the comments.

Teachers—while you’re finally getting a moment to breathe this summer, don’t forget: your health insurance often covers counseling at no cost to you.

If you’ve been running on empty, this is your chance to refill your cup.

I offer appointments all summer and would love to support you. Contact me at +1 (336) 669-7340.

I just received an email from the NC State Health Care Plan.
This affects teachers, state government employees, etc.

"Given the current financial situation of the Plan, we must find other solutions that benefits all three parties: the Plan, members and providers. As such, the Plan will be ending CPP in its current form as of December 31, 2025.

The Plan is committed to continuing its effort in promoting affordable access to behavioral health services through reimbursement rates and member cost-share; however, it will not be at the current CPP reimbursement rate and will not have a $0 member cost share."

What does this mean? Until the end of 2025 you will pay $0 for your counseling. In 2026- who knows?

If you've been waiting to deal with something, now is the time to schedule. "Free" counseling is a gift. Use it.

Hey, Midlife Women!
Is Your Life Battery Running Empty? ✨
Imagine having more energy, handling challenges with ease, and knowing how to reset yourself when life feels overwhelming. 💡
This week in my free Midlife with Purpose Facebook group, we’re diving into all of this and more during a special live session!
🎙️ Our guest speaker, my friend Kelly Andrews, has over 10 years of experience teaching HeartMath’s simple tools and techniques. She’ll share practical strategies to help you:
✔️ Boost your energy
✔️ Reset your nervous system (like rebooting a computer!)
✔️ Navigate change and challenges with ease
✔️ Communicate more clearly and meaningfully
💬 Here’s the best part: I go live in the group every week!
Sometimes it’s me teaching something valuable that has helped me thrive in midlife, and other times I invite guest speakers like Kelly to share their expertise. The sessions are always 30 minutes or less and you can catch the recordings at your convenience.
🌟 But the only way to join is by becoming a member of my group!

So much of our lives are spent caring for others. I remember when my kids moved away I had no idea what I liked to do. With any transition there is a period of figuring out what you actually enjoy.

Without thinking of anyone else’s preferences, what do you like to do? What makes you come alive?

I’ll go first!
I love visiting new places, learning about different cultures, being around water and hearing people’s stories.

Your turn!
If you could choose to do anything what would it be?
