$180.00 for an initial intake session $160.00 per 50-60-minute session for individual, family or couples counseling Payment or co-payment will be expected to be paid at each session.

No. 04 - What is therapy:
Therapy involves identifying and remediating mental, emotional and cognitive problems. A mental health assessment is completed in order to identify a diagnosis and formulate a treatment plan. The objective is to aid the client to deal adequately with life situations, reduce stress, experience growth, change problematic behaviors, maladaptive belief systems, and regulate emotions. In this process, exploring how past events and behaviors might be contributing to your current situation and preventing you from operating in a healthy state.
No. 05 - What is the difference between therapy and Coaching:
Coaching as defined by ICF (International Coaching Federation) “is a partnership with clients in a thought provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional growth”. There is more of an emphasis on action and results and less discussions of “why” and more addressing “the how.” Coaching is effective when there are no emotional, cognitive or behavioral barriers preventing you from reaching your goals. Coaching is going to more about where you are now, what is working for you and what is not and what needs to be modified to move forward. There is no distress preventing you from operating a “good” level, but you are aware that you have more potential and are seeking to move from “good” to reach an optimal level and maximize your truest potential.
