Thank you for considering us. We provide counseling services to the Greater Cleveland area and would love to help you on this journey towards feeling better. Seeking and attending counseling is a big step towards getting closer to your values and learning more about yourself. We hope that you’ll allow us to help you in your journey. This website was created to help provide you with information about counseling, our practice, and tools to help you along the way.
Counseling can be intimidating if you’ve never experienced it before. It’s scary to think about letting someone else into your inner most thoughts and secrets. However, sometimes we need a space that is unbiased to be able to process through tough events in our lives. Counseling is a confidential space created to be free of judgment. It’s meant to help process through tough thoughts, emotions, and events to help gain a better understanding of yourself and your values. Counseling can open up space to allow healing, growth, acceptance, and love for your self.
The first session is unlike any other session. There are a lot of feelings that might go into a first session. Excitement, maybe some anxiety. The first session is meant to help get you acquainted with the therapist, the office, and what to expect from this process. During the first session, there will be a little paperwork and a lot of information gathering to help get to know you better. There is no right way to do a first session. So come as you are and we will help with the rest!
Counseling is a process that is tailored to each individual person. Some people utilize a few sessions to help with a certain life event while others engage in sessions consistently over a longer period of time. The amount and frequency of sessions will be discussed and decided during the first session. During this process different techniques and interventions from mindfulness to value based work are utilized. The goal of therapy is to explore yourself, learn about your emotions, and develop skills to implement into your life to begin feeling better.

Many insurance plans have out-of-network benefits. For more information contact your insurance provider about your individual coverage. Many clients utilize their out-of-network benefits and are reimbursed at comparable rates to in-network providers. Your insurance provider will give you more information about co-payment and if there are limitations to the amount of sessions you may attend. We will provide you with receipts to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed, please make sure to contact your insurance provider for more information on their reimbursement policies. *Please send insurance information as soon as possible and at least 48 hours ahead of your first session in order for us to be able to provide an estimate of insurance. It is your responsibility to know your insurance benefits for service. We try our best to give an estimate for cost of sessions with insurance and ultimately we have to comply with the numbers we get back from insurance once a claim has been processed which can take up to 90 days.
We accept cash, credit card, or Health Savings Account (HSA). Please be prepared to pay for services at your session.
We understand that there are times when you must miss an appointment due to emergencies or life happenings. If an appointment is not cancelled or rescheduled at least 24 hours in advance you will be charged the full session fee ($170) for late cancel/no show. Insurance and sliding scale fees are not applicable to the late cancellation fee.
