Getting to know Myrna Pledger
Hi, I'm Myrna.
Do you sometimes feel that you don't fit in or that others are taking advantage of your kindness? Do you feel that others undervalue you and your contributions, and that the goalpost you have been assigned by others to reach keeps moving further away?
I help abuse victims and survivors appreciate themselves, their goals, achievements, and unique beauty. Together, we can work to separate your individual goals and aspirations from those you may have adapted to please others.
Whether it is self-acknowledged ingrained attitudes and beliefs acquired from parental, educational, religious, or social conditioning that cause you to undervalue yourself and prioritize others' opinions above your own, or whether the cause is unknown, I can help you.
With a Master's in Counseling from Chicago State University, I use a solutions-focused approach that incorporates practical and proven techniques addressing your emotional, mental, and physical needs. I also incorporate Bible verses, history, and personality assessments to help you see your place in the world and recognize yourself as a valuable individual.
In our sessions together, you will be met with respect and appreciation. I look forward to working with you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You can expect that you will feel freer from the concepts you have unquestioningly accepted. You will take away the idea that there are concepts that should not be questioned. You will have new insight into the effect that belief in erroneous doctrines can have on you and others.
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.
