Theory of Change and Growth
 
When I walk alongside my clients, I witness moments of vulnerability that often lead to incredible breakthroughs. Together, we explore the depths of your feelings, allowing you to uncover the hope that may have felt buried beneath the weight of your struggles.
 
Intervention Style 
 
Being present in our sessions is not just a practice; it’s a discipline that fosters growth and healing. I am here to guide you through this journey, helping you to cultivate a sense of authenticity and emotional clarity.
 
Supervision Style 
 
As a Therapeutic Lead and LPC Supervisor for LPC Associates and Student Interns at Neighbors Counseling Services, my responsibility is to lead by example by offering long-term and innovative care that expands beyond individual therapy. Additionally, I aim to foster a work culture that emphasizes both individuality and a team focus.

Understanding Therapy Costs by Clinician Level:

  • Fully Licensed Professionals (LPC, LCSW, LMFT): Our current rate for individual therapy sessions with fully licensed therapists is set at $150 per session. Nationally, these sessions typically range from $90 to $200. These clinicians have completed extensive training, supervision, and state licensure requirements.
  • Provisional/Associate-Level Clinicians (LPC Associate, LMSW, LMFT Associate): Our current rate for sessions with provisional or associate-level therapists is set at $95 per session. Nationally, the average cost for these sessions ranges from $65 to $120. These clinicians are highly skilled, have completed their master's degrees, and are working under the direct supervision of a fully licensed professional as they accumulate hours towards full licensure.
  • Student Interns: Sessions with student interns, who are gaining practical experience under close supervision, typically range from $0 to $85 per session. This provides an affordable entry point for therapy while ensuring high-quality care through rigorous oversight.
