Let’s Do This!

 
 

>Step 1: EMAIL Us

If you would like to find out more or schedule a free 15 minute consultation email chelsea@encountercounsleingcenter.com your name, phone number, what you are wanting to work on in therapy and I will get back to you in 24-48 business hours to set up a phone or video consultation or appointment.

>Step 2: Consult & Schedule

During the 15 minute consult I can help figure out if we are a good fit, answer any questions and schedule your first appointment. You will receive paperwork via email to fill out before your first session.

>Step 3: Feel. Heal. Deal.

Attend your first session and begin to heal, feel and deal. We begin explore what has happened in the past and what is going on in the present and then create a solid plan to help you move forward.

 

Investment

Therapy is an investment in healing your past, present, and future self. Healing yourself is hard work, but yields amazing long-term results. Sessions can occur weekly or every two weeks depending on your goals and needs.

Fully committing to therapy is going to transform your life and relationships. I thoughtfully and carefully limit the number of clients I work with at any given time so I can be fully committed and present to you during your session and your growth process. I work hard to model boundaries, self-compassion, and intentional living to my clients because it prevents burnout and allows me to be fully present and clinically dialed in during sessions. There is also quite a bit of behind-the-scenes work that goes on outside of sessions where I engage in continuing education, session planning, and resource gathering for our time together.

You are capable of so much more than you thought possible and I’m excited to help you get there!

    Many PPO plans offer this benefit and will reimburse you a percentage or a certain dollar amount of your out-of-pocket therapy cost.

    We can provide you with a “superbill” to submit to the insurance company for reimbursement. Please us know if you have any questions as we are happy to help in any way we can.
