Somtimes in the winds of change you find your true direction.

I currently accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and United Healthcare/Optum plans.

Yes. "Therapist" is a blanket term for several different professions. Psychologists, marriage and family therapists, social workers, and counselors are all licensed individuals who can provide mental health and substance-abuse therapy. The difference is their educational background. 

 I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners (AZBBHE) and a Board Certified Counselor (NCC) through the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC). I hold a master’s degree in counseling and have completed extensive clinical training to support individuals across a wide range of concerns. My credentials reflect a commitment to providing ethical, high-quality care rooted in both professional standards and continued learning.

First, it is important to note that not every issue can be addressed through video counseling. Anyone who is currently experiencing thoughts of self-harm or has a significant history of suicidal thoughts or thoughts of self-injury needs to be seen in-person. 

Second, you must have access to a reliable internet connection. You also need a web camera accessible device that also has a microphone. I utilize a system that allows you to use your computer or an app for your phone or tablet. 

Third, if you plan to use insurance, you need to identify if your insurance allows telehealth services. Not all insurance companies do and some that do allow telehealth require their participants to use a specific platform. I do my best to verify these benefits, but ultimately it is the client's responsibility to know their insurance coverage. 

If you have any questions as to whether video counseling is a good fit for you, please don't hesitate to contact us for more information
