Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if counseling is appropriate for me or my family?
People come to counseling for a variety of reasons. Often they are seeking help with a specific concern, or something that has been causing ongoing issues for them or their family. There are no guaranteed outcomes, and therapy requires active participation on your part; but the potential benefits of therapy are many, including a significant reduction in feelings of distress, increased satisfaction in interpersonal relationships, greater awareness and insight, as well as skills for managing stress and conflict.
Do you accept insurance?
I am currently accepting Cigna Insurance. For all other insurances I am an out-of-network provider. You should check with your insurance provider to determine if you are eligible for out-of-network mental or behavioral health services. You may want to ask your insurance provider if you need pre-approval, what rate they will reimburse you, the number of sessions they cover and whether or not a deductible applies. I will provide a statement for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
What’s with the “bee”?
Aside from the many benefits of “bee breath” (see Resources), my family are bee keepers who value the fragile, mysterious, and beautiful balance that nature provides in physical and emotional healing. Simply watching our bees in action is meditative. The concept of “Nature Deficit Disorder” is evident in the increasing statistics surrounding mental health concerns and an inability to down-regulate our nervous system, as a result of “constant connectivity”. I invite you to spend some time in nature to promote balance. Leave your phone inside. Plant your feet firmly on the ground. Notice, allow, and be. Exhale.
