Is Therapy for me?

Is Therapy for me?

Is Therapy for me?

  • Have you experienced a traumatic or upsetting event and are having a hard time moving forward?
  • Have you been feeling overwhelmed, irritable or stressed?
  • Are you lacking the motivation or energy that you used to have?
  • Is there something in your relationship that keeps repeating? 
  • Are issues or problems from your childhood continuing to bother you?
  • Do you worry about things that have happened or could happen?
  • Are you having difficulty adjusting after having a baby or wanting some parenting support?
  • Would you like some tools to help calm and soothe your baby, while deepening your bond?


Counseling could help.

Having an objective person to listen to what you are going through and provide support can help alleviate symptoms that are getting in the way of enjoying your life. 

The therapy process can foster self discovery through reflection of feelings and needs in a nonjudgemental environment.

I often support adults who were hurt as children by providing a safe space to heal.

Sample Good Faith Estimate Notice

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. 

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.  

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. 

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. 

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

 For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.
