Every day we have stress. Some stress is great- it helps us grow, trust ourselves and trust others. That great stress is what we dream of all the time. Unfortunately, there is this other type of stress, it is not so great. This other type of stress hurts us- it makes life difficult.
Let’s talk
Every day we meet someone who could use individual counseling. Sometimes it is as easy as offering concern, support, or genuine care. These are the times when stress causes you, or your sister, or your brother, uncle, neighbor, to become easily distracted by about anything. We know this stress because it hits us hard-but we can manage most of life’s tasks. Then there are other times when this type of stress hits us so hard that we cannot manage any of life’s tasks and really need to learn skills to start reorganizing our lives. This my friend is what individual counseling is all about. These sessions are client centered, meaning we start where you are and draw from coping skills, meditation, mindfulness, and CBT to get you back to where you can start to manage all that life calls you to manage.
“When we talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. ”
What does individual counseling cost
Great question! The answer really depends on your options. If you have the option to use insurance-and choose to use your insurance. Most insurance will pay either for the complete session or for some portion of your counseling costs. Sometimes this depends on whether you’ve met your deductible. I find it best to encourage any current or potential client to check with their insurance provider to see what the out-of-pocket expense would look like.
When insurance payments are not a realistic option, there is always self -pay and exploring what your EAP, or Employee Assistance Programs are provided by most employers.
