What should a new client know about working with you?
At Elm Counseling, my approach is centered on creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel heard and understood. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, and my role is to guide and support you as you work toward your goals. Whether you're navigating challenges related to relationships, trauma, sexuality, or general well-being, we will work together to uncover patterns, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful change.
I utilize evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs, incorporating trauma-informed care, sex-positive frameworks, and tools to address the specific concerns you bring into the therapy room. You can expect compassion, curiosity, and a focus on helping you build the skills and insights necessary to improve your quality of life.
Sessions typically begin with understanding your current concerns and setting actionable goals. From there, we explore emotions, behaviors, and coping strategies to empower you and foster growth. My priority is ensuring you feel comfortable and confident as we navigate this process together
What is your typical process for working with clients?
At Elm Counseling, continued care is designed to support your growth and overall well-being through an intentional and collaborative process. Whether you're focusing on sex therapy, trauma-informed care, or addressing other identified issues, sessions build on the goals outlined during our initial session. Together, we’ll explore patterns of behavior, emotional responses, and coping strategies to foster positive change and reduce negative symptoms.
Typically, sessions occur weekly at the start, allowing us to establish a strong foundation and maintain momentum. Each session provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to process emotions, address concerning symptoms, and refine strategies that align with your goals. Our approach prioritizes understanding the root of challenges while promoting resilience and emotional balance, tailored to meet your unique needs
At Elm Counseling, we offer the option for clients to utilize super bills for submitting out-of-network (OON) claims, rather than billing directly through insurance. To simplify the process, we partner with Mentaya, a service that handles out-of-network claims on your behalf at no additional cost to you.
Many of our clients find this option beneficial, as most insurance plans reimburse 60%-80% of the session fee after the deductible for OON claims is met. Reimbursement rates and eligibility depend on your specific insurance plan and deductible. Mentaya streamlines the process, saving you time and effort while helping you maximize your benefits.
