FAQs

The counseling techniques I use most often may be different than what you're used to. EMDR and IFS therapy go beyond traditional talk therapy by helping you work directly with the deeper emotional and body-based parts of your experience, not just talking about your problems but actually shifting how you feel and respond to them.

Together, we'll focus on helping you reconnect with your own inner wisdom and compassion- the parts of you that already hold the insight and strength needed for growth.

If you are struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, unhelpful or impulsive behaviors, feelings of emptiness, or dysfunctional relationship patterns, you may benefit from counseling. Trust your gut. If you get the sense that life is feeling unmanageable or you feel stagnant, counseling could help you better understand yourself and make helpful change.

Again, this depends on the nature of your presenting concerns and treatment goals. In most cases, it’s helpful to at least start with weekly sessions. This helps with building rapport with your provider, and helps them get to know you better. When you and your therapist decide that there’s enough stability to move to bi-weekly appointments, that decision can be made collaboratively.

The number of sessions you will need depends on a number of factors. The nature of your presenting concerns and goals for treatment, your ability to “do the work” outside of sessions, and your level of motivation for change will all impact the length of time you may need counseling. In general, counseling works best when the provider and the client are working collaboratively to determine the length of treatment.

Each clinician sets their own schedule, so hours of operation may vary. Please contact your specific provider for their availability.

Kelley is currently in network with Aetna.

Our goal is to be able to provide the very best care to our clients based on their needs, rather than on insurance criteria. Insurance companies require a diagnosis in order to cover sessions, and not everyone meets criteria for a mental health diagnosis. Many cients opt not to use their insurance benefits for sessions to avoid the requirement for a diagnosis and to protect their privacy.

Even if Kelley is not in network with your insurance provider, many plans offer at least partial coverage for out of network providers. If you are working with Kelley, she can provide you with a superbill to send to your insurance company for reimbursement.

A superbill is a statement that has all of the information your insurance company would need to provide you with reimbursement for out of network benefits. Only fully licensed clinicians are able to provide superbills to clients, meaning that LPC Associates are not able to provide superbills for sessions.

Yes! If you’d like to use those funds to cover the cost of sessions, you’ll just enter your HSA or FSA card information into the system when you complete your initial paperwork.
