Treatment

​

Course of Treatment: Each counseling session lasts 60 minutes and it is customary to begin meeting once a week. We will continually reassess the counseling goals together and determine the appropriate course for continuing course for counseling. We will determine together when it is appropriate to increase or decrease session frequency. Treatment is voluntary and you are free to terminate our counseling relationship at any time.

​

Confidentiality: Information disclosed during treatment is kept confidential. If you pose a danger or threat to yourself or others, I am required by law to report this. If I am made aware of child abuse or neglect, I am also required by law to report it. If I wish to speak to someone regarding your care (i.e. your Doctor), you may sign a release form authorizing our communication.

​

Approach to Treatment: My counseling modalities may include but are not limited to existential psychology, cognitive behavioral, family systems, solution-focused, and psychoeducation; depending on individual needs. As a Christian I believe the Bible to be true and applicable for issues we experience today. It is up to the client what is included and discussed in treatment regarding spirituality. I am willing and able to counsel persons of varying beliefs.

​

Risks, Benefits, and Outcomes of Treatment: In the course of our work together you may experience pain, anxiety, sadness etc. as a result of drudging through your past, your hurt, your life. Changes you may make in your life as a result of our work together may be difficult. Please keep this in mind as you actively work on healing, growing, changing, achieving your goals. Benefits to counseling involve a greater awareness of yourself, greater self-esteem and self-worth, a better understanding of who you are in Christ, closer relationships with others, a change in outlook on life, new motivation, gaining new tools to cope with anxiety, anger, loss, depression etc. Together we will set goals and work towards reaching them.
