Getting to know Carla Darnell

I have always been fascinated by how people work. As a child, I loved learning about how the body functions. As I grew older, my focus shifted to understanding how minds work and how people navigate the world. My education has centered around mental health and helping people with their challenges. I hold a Master's in Life Span Development and a Master of Education in Counselor Education, both from Purdue University, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio. I enjoy gardening, traveling, and learning new things. I am an optimist. My general approach to relating with people involves listening intently to understand their point of view while showing respect, warmth, and humor. I believe that establishing a strong, supportive relationship is essential in therapy. Respect and honesty are fundamental for effective therapy. Together, we can solve problems and improve difficult situations.

What should a new client know about working with you?

The first session is likely to be primarily a get-acquainted session, where I ask about counseling goals, problem areas, and background. Either toward the end of the first session or second session I suggest ways of tackling issues and make assignments of practicing those new ways. After that we will talk about how things are going and additional techniques of dealing with problem areas.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
