Getting to know Michael Parks

I am a Middle age Christian male that has been married for 30+ years. I have three children who range in age from late teens to late twenties. I also have a spunky granddaughter who is in grade school. I have a Master in Psych, as well as a MSW from SIUC. I also have been a Certified Drug Counselor for over a decade. I have worked both ends of the Mental Health spectrum from ten years in a Behavioral Health ward to now with Grade School and Junior High age children. I am looking to be that calm helping hand in the storm that you are experiencing.

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.
