adolescents
Teenagers can present special challenges, especially to the adults in their lives, but they embody creative problem-solving abilities, flexible thinking, and unique perspectives. For adolescents, freedom and responsibilities go hand in hand to contribute to their healing, behavior change, and growth.
children
Play is the language of children. We adults can have difficulty using language to explain our feelings or perspectives, despite larger vocabularies and sets of experiences; this can be even more challenging for children. Play therapy helps children express their needs through "playing out" situations in their lives.
adults
Adults seek counseling for many reasons. Therapist and client effectively work together to set goals, track progress, and celebrate successes. Areas of specialty include trauma; recovery from addiction and substance abuse; LGBTQ clients and families; climate anxiety & grief; depression; anxiety; and life stage transitions.
Counseling sessions take place via telehealth online (Zoom).
Sessions are typically 50 minutes in length, but they may vary slightly to accommodate meeting with parents or other family members or under special circumstances.
Fees for counseling services are private pay, and are $150 per 50-minute session. I am happy to provide a superbill for services that you may submit to your own insurance company for possible reimbursement, depending upon the terms of your policy. Session fees can be paid via IvyPay (a HIPAA-compliant type of PayPal service).
24 hours' notice is required for cancelling a previously-scheduled session; if 24 hours' notice is not given, a cancellation fee of $150 will be charged for the session.
