Getting to know Luke Carsto
I have been working in the mental health field for 19 years since his getting his undergraduate degree in Psychology and 7 years of experience working in a community mental health agency setting.
While working in an acute psychiatric hospital, he decided to earn his master’s degree in counseling. After graduation, I worked as a Project Coordinator for a county-funded program that would provide mental health services for county-funded programs throughout Montgomery County. He also has experience working with individuals on the Autism Spectrum in school and home settings.
I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults, individual, couples, family and group therapy. He specializes in working with individuals experiencing trauma, and domestic violence. mood and anxiety barriers, grief, and adjusting to changes in one’s life.
I believe that the person seeking help is the one who has control over their treatment and ultimately their lives. He works to tailor your therapeutic experience to match your subjective needs providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other therapy models with a holistic approach by recommending integrative complementary and alternative therapies – which have been shown to improve cognition and mind-body connection.

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.
