PRIVATE CERTIFIED COUNSELING FOR ALL AGES

Our session will be

  • Personalized

    Our initial sessions will be dedicated to assessing your current wellness and creating a personalized plan to fit your unique needs and goals.

  • Targeted

    Everyone has pain and non-functional points when it comes to achieving full wellness. I’ll work closely with you to help identify and overcome your triggers, and disfunctional thought processes. It will depend on your comfort zone as to when to go back in your history.

  • Integrative

    My approach is blended with cognitive, behavioral, Rogerian, Transactional…with Beck inventories, vocational tools….whew…let’s see what works best.

1:1 SESSIONS

Sessions begin in person and can evolve into online private sessions upon request. Our first session is complementary and a get-to-know time. From there we will make a plan to suit your needs.

INDIVIDUALS

The work is basically YOURS….journals, time noting, frequency noting, etc……I am your guide, cheerleader, and support. I once had a professor tell me that if we swallow someone else’s beliefs or advice without chewing on it, we will regurgitate it…so, you have to own any suggestions and believe it will work for you. I try to stay in the now (very existential) and deal with what is the most relevant. We can go back when needed but only pull positives from those times.

Children have done better when they are 1:1 with counselor. The parent will know what they need to know but not the specifics of the sessions.

PARENTS

Parenting is tough! Compassion, consistency, and laughter are key to children of today. I have many strategies to: parenting, divorce situations, grieving times, behavior management.

GROUPS

Groups are my favorite! All members will be screened and a group can be formed on any topic. We can meet at the public library or any central location. Confidentiality and respect for members are crucial for a group to function smoothly.

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become. I am what I do, not what I say I’ll do.” Carl Jung

HOURLY RATES

SINGLE SESSION

I charge $50 a session....first session is complimentary. Cash and check only. If there is a situational hardship, I will work with you.

PACKAGES

If you want a package of sessions, I could do 5 @ $40 a piece. This can all be negotiated at a lower rate.

GROUP SESSIONS

I love groups! But my office is small. We could find a library space or other central location to meet. I would charge $25 a person.
