A 24-hour advanced notice of cancellation is required. If advanced notification is not provided, you may be required to pay the full cost of the session. Once you are a client with Mindful Wellness Counseling, you will receive an attendance agreement with your intake packet to reference.

Sure do. We work with several employee assistance programs. Give us a call today to discuss your program.

If you’ve never been to therapy, you might be imagining something like what you’ve seen on TV. The reality is far less sensational.

Your first session will be a chance for you and your therapist to get to know each other, discuss your goals and concerns, and develop a preliminary plan for moving forward. That plan might include exploring your thoughts and feelings, practicing new tools in session, and teaching skills to practice at home.

We’re not one-size-fits-all, and we work hard to meet your needs and preferences on an individual basis.

Most clients prefer to meet weekly. That seems to be a good cadence for getting some momentum going, especially early on. Setting a weekly meeting time is also a way to prioritize therapy as a part of your healthy routine.

If you are interested in a schedule that’s more or less frequent, let us know! We will do our best to accommodate when we can.

We agree with you. We will make sure to keep you focused on resolving your specific issues, so you can get on with your life.

We practice within a short-term model, which means most clients will work with us for 8-12 sessions. If the goal changes, we adapt.

The difference is between someone who can do something and someone who has the training and experience to do that same thing professionally. A mental health professional can help you approach your situation in a new way: teach you new skills, help you gain different perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself.

Furthermore, therapy is completely confidential. You won’t have to worry about others “knowing your business.”

Lastly, if your situation provokes a great deal of negative emotion, and you’ve been confiding in a friend or family member, there is the risk that once you are feeling better you could start avoiding that person, so you aren’t reminded of this difficult time in your life.

Totally up to you. We want you to be comfortable, but lying down is optional. Let’s leave this up to how you’re feeling the day you come to visit.

Unfortunately, no. Our various clinical Code of Ethics discourages interactions outside of the office unless legally or medically warranted to protect your privacy.

If we happen to be in the same place, we will not be able to carry on a conversation with you. We will also not acknowledge that we even know you. However, if you say hi or smile first, we can then reciprocate, but that is the limit.

Your confidentiality is our main priority, and our goal is protecting your personal space and privacy. Honestly, it’s just one of those rules we have to follow.

Nope. That’s not our area of expertise. We will refer you to your primary care physician for all your prescribing needs.
