FAQs

Counseling is a form of treatment that utilizes different methods and theories to work on one or more presenting problems on an ongoing basis. Some clients know the areas they need help in and are seeking therapy to work through these specific issues. If you are unsure what is causing your discomfort and are seeking a diagnosis to help determine the next steps, an evaluation may be beneficial for you.

The evaluation is comprised of taking down your personal, medical, and mental healthy history to help us understand you better. Our evaluations are made up of flexible batteries of testing, meaning we tailor testing to your specific needs. Our providers will either administer the test to you or you will be asked to complete them independently. We will be able to answer any questions you may have along the way. After the evaluation, the provider will provide a written report and release to the designated party. 

Each provider accepts different insurances. We typically accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, Aetna, and almost all secondary insurances. If you have a specific insurance not listed, please call the office and we would be happy to explore your specific insurance options.
