Counseling Session Formats
Your initial session will consist of discussing confidentiality and paperwork, starting the conversation about your specific goals, and how we can help you. Following the first session, therapy sessions will consist of learning more about your story, difficulties you want to overcome, and us working together to achieve your desired outcomes. We will work with you to form a Treatment Plan that will outline your goals, how we will measure them and what actions we will take to reach those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) will be the primary treatment modality utilized but various theories will be used based on need.
Insurance
Insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company as to how your counseling will be managed and progress. Here at ACS we currently do not participate with insurance plans. However, we will assist you if you desire in contacting your insurance and giving you receipts to submit claims. Insurance companies will want you to be diagnosed with a mental health disorder and usually dictate how many and what type of therapy you can have. We believe that this should be decided between you and your therapist. We are currently a fee-for-service private practice.
