Sure do! I am a Board Certified Telemental Health Provider. Most children enjoy this counseling modality, as they (unlike many of us parents) have grown up with video chatting as their primary way of contacting friends. However, we all can benefit from the convenience. This works great for busy professionals, too!
Please be aware that you must be located within the state of Connecticut for me to be able to be your tele-counselor.
If you're an adult or have an older child (14+), we can arrange to meet on the walking trails surrounding Bolton/Vernon/Manchester for a counseling session while walking. You get the benefits of counseling plus the benefits of engaging in the outdoors (fresh air, activity, and sunlight)! Sessions are scheduled year-round, weather permitting. I carry a first aid kit and an emergency beacon. Still, you must sign a liability waiver before we go, as I have no control over your physical conditioning or the trail conditions.
Of course! As much as I love to work with kids, I also enjoy working with adults. While kids are not little adults, all adults were kids once. We all carry baggage from those days and could work on some stuff. Grown-ups matter too!
Once upon a time, I did, but this is no longer an available service.
I accept Husky, Optum/United, Anthem, Aetna, Medicare, & Cigna
I believe that the primary relationship should be between me and the people I work with; not between myself and an insurance company.
I believe that the length of our sessions should be determined by what you & your family need, not judged by someone who has never met you.
I believe that people need help - not diagnosis. Insurance companies require that I diagnose every client I work with.
However, I also believe you should be able to access your insurance benefits if you choose to.
If I have openings I can usually fit you in right away - within a week of our first conversation. I offer convenient night & weekend appointments.
