Getting to know David Chmielecki

A client comes in to see her therapist and is 10 minutes late. She sits down and apologizes for her tardiness, to which I reply that no apologies are necessary, as clients are only late for their first session. This vignette illustrates something I see repeatedly in my practice. Many clients should have sought help at least a year or two earlier but, for some reason, believe their problems are still manageable. While I admire the will of those who manage life like the proverbial Dutch Boy and the dike, I believe that asking for help is a strength in itself. In therapy, I come from the perspective of someone who has needed support at various times in life. My own journey has been meandering—I have worked in several fields and industries before becoming a therapist, which allows me to empathize deeply with people from both blue- and white-collar professions. I hold a Master’s in Counseling from Antioch University-New England, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support clients through their challenges with compassion and understanding.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients can expect to find a direction to go in. Problems tend to be salient and either linger in the background or have a way to pop up a precisely the wrong time. What I would like my clients to experience is a breakdown of their issues to manageable and definable parts and to leave the session thinking, "Oh, so that is what I have to work on. I think I can do this."

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.
