There are a variety of reasons why people decide to give therapy a try. Maybe it’s a mood disorder, significant life change, career uncertainty, relationship issues in marriage or family, or maybe just needing a fresh perspective on a challenging situation. There can definitely be a lot of nerves going into a new situation and it can be intimidating to discuss personal matters with a stranger.

However, an experienced therapist will help to lead you down the path you are trying to go. They can help you in the areas that you need, even if you don't know exactly what it is you're looking for. If traditional therapy is inconvenient or seems too intrusive, ask about telehealth options.

A holistic wellness co-op that focuses on all things wellness. When I first started my practice, I always knew the "why" I was doing it but had no idea "where" I would practice out of. Then I met Jada and she showed me Selah Space. The office that she offered for me to practice out of had a sign that read "You Belong Here" and the rest is history. Since then, the space has expanded and more and more providers have joined in order to meet a variety of different healing needs. So although Forward Counseling is my business, Selah Space has always been its home! Check out .sd for information on all of the providers and treatment options.

One of my favorite things to do is collaborate with clients as well as other professionals. This approach provides a well-rounded approach to the best possible care for the patient. I frequently work with other therapists, physicians, attorneys, and other professional organizations when it comes to case consultation and referrals. If we work together, you can expect to be connect with additional and/or alternative resources in the community.

People seek counseling for a variety of reasons. Maybe you are experiencing a big life change such as birth of a child, marriage, divorce, or career shift. It could be wanting to learn how to cope with stress, improve communication skills, and foster healthy relationships. Then there are the more tender topics of mental illness, trauma, abuse, grief, and dying. The fact of the matter is, I've worked with all of the above. My main approach is solution-focused and using cognitive behavioral therapy. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, I am here to listen, support, and challenge you in moving forward to the best possible life!

Did you know - I accept most major insurances as well as Employee Assistant Programs! However, insurance isn't the only option when it comes to paying for therapy services - I offer a self-pay rate as well. Prior to scheduling your initial session, I always tell people to contact their insurance companies and ask what they cover in regard to mental health. Sessions are billed through your insurance but depending on your plan and what is covered depends how much of that rate is your responsibility to pay. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to me or contact your insurance provider!
