Do you want better control over your life? We only have one life to live, so why not make it a happier and healthier life.You actually have a greater amount of control as to what happens to you than you realize. As a Psychologist, in teaching you techniques, I help clients to create happiness and better physical health through the science of Positive Emotions when connecting with others in every day life experiences. Feeling better emotionally leads to a happier life. Clients are helped through Hypnosis (if interested) and psychotherapy to eliminate anxiety/stress, depression, to have restful sleep, and to improve self-confidence.

Difficulties with intimacy are prevalent. People are pessimistic and frightened of marriage. Levels of anxiety, depression, and "pushing away" defense mechanisms are increasing and we tend to seek the emotionally familiar. We fall in love based on our earliest experiences with bonding, or lack of it. Thus, if these feelings are based upon aberrations of bonding, we are constantly drawn to those who cannot bond & connect. If you continually repeat the same mistakes in your life you may be emotionally "stuck" due to these early feelings.

To be heard in a non-judgmental, empathic way provides an environment to safely explore your relationship with others and with yourself. To be heard and have that understanding communicated in clear, compassionate terms helps support you while we explore its meaning and consequences. When better ways of dealing with life stressors are discovered, unsuccessful ways of coping are automatically shed and new skills appear.

There isn’t any relationship in a person’s life that can compare to the kind of relationship shared between a client and their therapist, and that is what makes this connection so invaluable. A lot of us are fortunate enough to have people in our lives that we can both confide in and seek advice from, but it is quite normal in this day and age to need more support than our friends and family can provide. Coincidentally, this extra support can come from a person that initially begins as a stranger.

I believe life experiences are the greatest teacher. We go through many life challenges, difficulties, heartaches, but we should never forget the smiles, laughter, joy that come before or after those challenges. I am more a half glass full kind of person but I am pragmatic. I believe that the hard times can be really hard and if we need to cry, we should cry, be angry, be hurt, allow all the emotions to occur and feel them. The trick is to come out of those emotions with a new perspective so that we can grow and find our true self.

Have you ever experienced an event that completely changed your view of the world? Do you feel afraid, alone and unsure of where to turn? Are you experiencing intrusive thoughts, when you least expect it or even nightmares? Trauma has lasting physical and emotional effects that can leave you tired, jumpy, anxious, feeling ashamed, exposed, insecure and wondering who you can trust. Do you find yourself wondering why you haven't found the love you want in your relationships? Do you believe no matter what you say or do for your significant other, it's never the "right thing" or "good enough"?

Medicare Therapists
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.
