Each of us has occasional challenges that we need help to get through.  Working together, I know we can make significant changes resulting in improved happiness and a higher quality of life for you.
 
Drawing techniques from Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Humanistic, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), we can develop a personalized program to meet your needs.
​
 Effective Counseling offers individual and couples counseling and works with adolescents and adults.  I focus on issues relating to anxiety, depression, and relationships, but I can help with your needs in many areas including but not limited to:                     
  • Anger issues
  • Borderline Personality
  • Building Confidence
  • ​Changing negative habits
  • Chronic Pain
  • Divorce
  • Life Coaching
  • Loss or Grief
  • OCD
  • Parenting
  • Pre-marital Counseling
Each session lasts for 50 minutes.  Our sessions are completely confidential.  

Rates:

Each 50 minute session costs $110.  80 minute sessions are available for an additional fee.  Payment is due at the time of each session.  Together, we will identify the areas where you want to work and then create an action plan.  We will establish goals and measure progress over time.

Payments can be made by cash, check, or credit card.  Effective Counseling does offer a sliding scale for clients who cannot afford the $110 session rate.  Arrangements for sliding scale payments must be made before the first session.

Effective Counseling offers a free 15-20 minute consultation.  Brief phone calls are available to established clients; however, calls lasting longer than 10 minutes will be charged on a pro-rated basis.
​
