Counseling

The relationship with your mental health counselor is specific, and special.

Counseling gives a space to land when life becomes difficult. Within the safe space of counseling We will work together to address the issues causing you distress and ease your suffering. I value and welcome open communication within our therapeutic relationship to ensure you feel on track and are creating change you desire.

I work with clients around trauma, stress management, life transitions, personal growth and development, and anxiety and depression, and the challenges present in day to day life.

Individual counseling sessions are 50 minutes in duration at a rate of $125. I do offer a limited number of sliding scale spots as a self pay rate as well. When you pay for therapy through self-pay both confidentiality and treatment remain between you and me. Self-pay also promotes a focus on your health and strengths rather than just on what’s wrong. Often times one seeks therapy to improve certain aspects in their life or to understand themselves better, which has nothing to do with mental health disorder. Typically, however, insurance companies require that the therapist give you a “mental health disorder diagnosis”, regardless the reason you are seeking therapy.

Payment is accepted via credit card, debit card, or health savings account (HSA) and is due at the end of each session. Cards are kept on file in order to process ongoing payments.

Good Faith Estimates of expected charges are available upon scheduling your first session, or upon request.

The purpose of the estimate is to give you an opportunity to manage your care costs and to prevent surprise billing.

I'm currently seeing clients via a HIPPA compliant platform across all of North Carolina.
