Non-Diagnostic Therapy

Non-diagnostic therapy is what it sounds like, No Diagnosing. Non-diagnostic counseling is a way of conducting therapy that does not follow the commonly used method of the medical model of first diagnosing a client and then treating the client with the prescribed treatment approach based on that diagnosis as written in the DSM-5 .

Instead, I non-diagnostically relate to clients holistically, understanding that suffering, while serious and painful, need not be understood only in prescribed (and often labeling) ways. You are not a diagnosis. You are a human being, who experiences human stressors and circumstances and reacts or responds to those circumstances in very human ways. I believe that treatment is unique to each client and cannot be found in the pages of a book or handout. 

* It is important to note that insurance payments require a clinical diagnosis, therefore I will have to provide a mental health diagnosis for insurance clients*

 Individual Therapy 

Sessions are geared towards adult (18+) individuals. 

Couples are generally seen as individuals until enough inner work has been completed to come together as a couple to work on the relationship. This is because each person in the relationship comes into the relationship with their own "stuff" and that "stuff" must be worked on before the relationship can truly be worked on. The first couple's session will be together so we can understand where you are stuck or struggling, then sessions are individual moving forward.

Insurances

**I am not currently accepting insurance**. 

Additionally, sessions can be paid cash, credit card, health savings card, zelle or venmo. I can also provide you with a super bill for counseling services for possible reimbursement from your insurance company.
