Individual Counseling
Individual counseling starts with 2-3 sessions of getting to know each other. I'll be asking some detailed questions about your current and historical struggles with eating and body image, as well as your mood, stressors, and any other areas concerning you. I'll also ask some more general questions to get a better sense of how you're feeling in several areas of life right now. Then, we'll make a plan for moving forward to feel at peace with food, at home in your body, and living life in a way that feels authentic to you.
Discussions of how yoga can be woven into your care (both in and out of sessions) can be a part of our work together, but may not be a good fit for everyone. We can talk through that together, with you ultimately deciding its place (if it has one for you) in our sessions and in your life.
Additional Information
Parking:
There is free and plentiful parking in the lot behind the building, which is also where you will enter.
Entry:
When you arrive, please enter via the back door (located right off the parking lot). Immediately to your right you will see my name on a small kiosk. You can take the stairs down, or make your way to the elevator directly ahead of you and to your left. My office is Suite B3, the first office when you come down the stairs, or the second office on your right if you come down the elevator.
FAQ
I'm not sure if this is right for me...how do I know?
I'd love to schedule a brief (10-15 minute) call with you so I can answer any questions, assess if this is a good fit or if there is another provider I can connect you with, and so you can get a sense of who I am and how sessions may feel. This is usually the first step in making sure you feel good about moving forward.
Do you take insurance?
Yes, I take BCBS PPO and Blue Choice and can bill sessions as an Out-of-Network provider to your insurance company.
Is this therapy or Intuitive Eating Counseling?
Both. I am a Therapist (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) who uses my Intuitive Eating Counseling certification and background in treating individuals struggling with their mental health to help people find peace with food and their bodies.
