Are you ready for a better You?
Group Therapy
Group Therapy is a collaborative therapeutic experience that involves the presence of a trained professional and others who are working through similar challenges. Typically 4-8 individuals meeting once a week for 60 minutes. Group members talk about a variety of issues including exploring relationships, improving self-esteem, and enhancing coping skills. Group members share information about themselves and provide feedback to others while counselors facilitate productive communication in the group.
Consultation/Supervision
Clinical supervision is a formative process that teaches you about yourself as a therapist. Many therapists see their clinical supervisors as mentors who help them find direction in their careers and give them important tools for self-care. The relationships you grow during the clinical supervision process will impact your professional and personal development for years to come.
COUPLE THERAPY
Relationship disputes that are left unresolved often create an atmosphere of negativity. We explore the wants and needs within the relationship that affect intimacy and develops communication and problem solving skills . We employ an active caring approach for couples that seek to create a safe and neutral environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Because each person has different issues and goals for therapy, therapy will be different depending on the individual. In general, you can expect to discuss the current events happening in your life, your personal history relevant to your issue, and report progress (or any new insights gained) from the previous therapy session. Depending on your specific needs, therapy can be short-term, for a specific issue, or longer-term, to deal with more difficult patterns or your desire for more personal development. Either way, it is most common to schedule regular sessions with your therapist (usually weekly).
It is important to understand that you will get more results from therapy if you actively participate in the process. The ultimate purpose of therapy is to help you bring what you learn in session back into your life. Therefore, beyond the work you do in therapy sessions, your therapist may suggest some things you can do outside of therapy to support your process - such as reading a pertinent book, journaling on specific topics, noting particular behaviors or taking action on your goals. People seeking psychotherapy are ready to make positive changes in their lives, are open to new perspectives and take responsibility for their lives.
A number of benefits are available from participating in therapy. Therapists can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, grief, stress management, body image issues and creative blocks. Many people also find that counselors can be a tremendous asset to managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, marriage issues, and the hassles of daily life. Therapists can provide a fresh perspective on a difficult problem or point you in the direction of a solution. The benefits you obtain from therapy depend on how well you use the process and put into practice what you learn. Some of the benefits available from therapy include:
Attaining a better understanding of yourself, your goals and values
Developing skills for improving your relationships
Finding resolution to the issues or concerns that led you to seek therapy
Learning new ways to cope with stress and anxiety
Managing anger, grief, depression, and other emotional pressures
Improving communications and listening skills
Changing old behavior patterns and developing new ones
Discovering new ways to solve problems in your family or marriage
Improving your self-esteem and boosting self-confidence

To determine if you have mental health coverage through your insurance carrier, the first thing you should do is call them. Check your coverage carefully and make sure you understand their answers. Some helpful questions you can ask them:
What are my mental health benefits?
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
How many therapy sessions does my plan cover?
How much does my insurance pay for an out-of-network provider?
Is approval required from my primary care physician?
The average therapy session lasts for forty-five minutes and can go up to 60 minutes.
Therapy is often the most effective when sessions are weekly as this allows consistency and dedication to your personal investment in yourself. However, I understand that weekly sessions are not always possible for individuals for various reasons (not enough time, not in the budget, etc) and am able to accommodate bi-weekly appointments on a case-by-case basis.
