My services also include Clinical Art Therapy, which can supplement or be incorporated into "talk therapy" sessions.
Are you unhappy with what you see in the mirror? Are you afraid of being fat or worried about your weight? Does your weight determine your mood? Do you count calories, exercise to burn calories, or purge after you eat? Do you eat when you're upset or does food give you comfort? Do you feel controlled by food?
If you are feeling controlled by thoughts, fears, and worries about food, weight, and appearance, you might feel frustrated, depressed, anxious, confused, and lonely.
I provide special counseling services to help you understand why you are thinking and feeling this way...

Here are few my favorite credos: "Know thyself", "Unexamined life is not worth living", "Justice is what love looks like in public, while tenderness is what love feels like in private," " Life is a long distance run," "Every dream is a portrait of the dreamer," And, "Art, like nature provides nourishment for the soul and mind.
Life is not about winning or being successful at the end- its about finding life's meaning, its about personal empowerment, our agency, freeing ourselves from fear. We are a rich mixture of archetypes, energies, and potentialities. We have inner conflicts. Instead of reaching resolutions - we often surrender to our impulses and addictions. With hard work, we may evolve our problem into a source of consciousness and growth. When our inner 'healer' is inspired, we struggle towards the unifying truth of the self. One sees, for a brief time, a glimpse of the true unity, beauty, harmony peace. and most importantly - meaning of life.

Hello, my name is Nicole Stiving. I am an LCSW. I approach therapy by meeting clients where they are at. I believe clients are seeking mental health services for personal reasons so services should be focused on clients' voices and choices regarding what you hope to get from therapy services. Common theoretical approaches that I use are the person-centered approach, systems approach, and using concepts of cognitive behavioral therapy. Most of my experience has been in working with children and families. Therefore, I am comfortable with working with children, youth, transitional-age youth, and/or their caregivers.

Does insurance cover therapy, prescriptions and other behavioral health services?
In general, yes. Laws in the U.S. require insurers to cover essential behavioral health care at the same level as other health care services. Most health plans require a medical diagnosis and treatments that are evidence based and medically essential. This means that life coaching and alternative therapies are not covered, nor is therapy without a diagnosis. Call the number on the back or your insurance card or visit your insurance company's website to review your Summary of Benefits. If you have insurance through your employer, your Human Resources department may also be able to answer questions.
How much does therapy cost with insurance?
The cost of therapy depends on your region, how much training and experience your therapist has, and the type of treatment. The rate for talk therapy generally falls between $100 and $250. For a client seeing an in-network provider, the cost of therapy is often similar to the cost of other health care services. Clients pay co-pays and may need to satisfy a plan’s deductible before benefits kick in.
What is the difference between In-Network and Out-of-Network insurance coverage?
An in-network provider has contracted with an insurer to get paid directly for services, and to accept the insurer’s rate of compensation. Clients are responsible for deductibles and copays. If a therapist is out of network, that means that the client pays the therapist directly for services at the therapist’s regular fee. Out-of-Network providers often give clients a receipt so that they can file for partial reimbursement with their insurance company.
Is it difficult to find an In-Network therapist?
It is not unusual for therapists to limit the number of insurance patients in their practice, so it’s important to check in-network availability when you schedule your first appointment. In regions and times where therapy is in high demand it may take longer to get scheduled with an in-network therapist.
What is the difference between HMO and PPO insurance plans?
HMO health plans only cover in-network services, there is no reimbursement for out-of-network providers. PPO plans often cover both in- and out-of-network services, though the client may pay more for out-of-network services.
What is a Superbill?
A superbill is a receipt for therapy services. It provides all the information required by insurance companies to reimburse you for out-of-network services, including the diagnostic codes for your care, the amount paid, and the dates and duration of care.
Does insurance cover Online therapy?
Many therapists who shifted their practice to online therapy during the pandemic have kept that arrangement. And most insurers continue to cover telehealth services, with a few exceptions. Preventive care (such as an annual depression screening) is often required to be in-person to be covered, and some states require prescribers of controlled substances to see those patients in person.
Does insurance cover Group therapy?
Many insurance plans provide coverage for group therapy provided there is a medical diagnosis for group members, but there are some noteworthy exceptions. For example, Medicare does not always cover group therapy. Group therapy tends to cost less than individual therapy.
Does insurance cover Couples therapy?
Most insurance companies do not cover the cost of couples therapy because there is no medical diagnosis or medically necessary treatment. However, a few plans will offer a limited benefit, so it is still worth checking with your insurance company. Sometimes therapy is covered for a couple when one person has a diagnosis and another family member joins them for joint therapy, but it is considered therapy for the medical condition that includes a family member as a listener or helper, not couples counseling. Without insurance, most clients pay between $100-300 per 60-90 min session for couples therapy. Often clients can find classes or workshops that make it more affordable to work on their relationship. And some employers offer benefit plans that help defray the cost of couples therapy.
