Getting to know Tony Saracina
Hello. I would so welcome the opportunity to join you in your therapy experience. I will seek to create a safe and empathic place for you to address those concerns that matter most to you.
My bachelor's degree is in Biblical Studies. I have a master’s degree in counseling and I am an independently licensed professional clinical counselor with a supervisory designation. For the past thirty-seven years I have worked in a variety of mental health settings – including preschool Head Start programs, residential court-involved adolescents, residential gifted high school students, intensive outpatient adult chemical dependency treatment, adult and geriatric outpatient individual and family counseling.
I am certified in trauma informed care, and I am currently pursuing a depression and mood certification program. Counselors, like clients, should continue a growth process. My philosophy is client-centered, and my approach is to begin where the client is and to pursue those client goals that bring the deepest satisfaction in their relationship with themselves and those they love. I also welcome clients who are interested in pursuing a Christian-based approach to counseling.
What should a new client know about working with you?
From our first session, and after each session, it is my desire to instill hope in the therapy process - that change is possible and within reach of each individual. I feel that individuals have an internal sense of where they want to be or what they want to be. Therapy, I genuinely believe, can help an individual grow and develop toward those ideals he/she holds most precious.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
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.
