Our office coordinator takes care to research your insurance benefits, so that you clearly understand what the costs will be from the beginning of the service.
Counseling For Individuals – the first sessions
We schedule the first appointment 5-10 days from the initial phone call. During this first session the counselor will review consents for treatment and begin to gather information about what challenges bring you to counseling and what goals you desire to accomplish. Once you have established the goals for counseling you and your counselor will collaborate to accomplish them as quickly as possible.
