Our Services

From individuals to groups, we offer a variety of services to help get you where you need to be—and beyond. Go ahead and try to come up with an excuse…

Individual therapy

Individual therapy is a collaborative process between a therapist and a person in therapy. Common goals of therapy include inspiring change or improving quality of life. People may seek therapy to address issues that are hard to face alone. Individual therapy is also known as psychotherapy, psychosocial therapy, talk therapy, and counseling.

Couples Counseling

Relationship counseling, or couples therapy, is a form of therapy that supports people in intimate relationships. Therapy may be helpful for partners considering separation or seeking improved intimacy and understanding. While the relationship itself is the focus in marital counseling, each partner is expected to pay attention to self-improvement and self-awareness.

Group Therapy

Group therapy can help people improve their mental health. For some, working through challenges as a group can be much more valuable. For those of us who operate best in groups, we offer a few that can really help launch your intent to change! The group dynamic often helps people feel supported as they move forward. Whether your goal is growth, improving social skills, or something else, group therapy could help you achieve it.

FAQ

If you find yourself having the same conversations in your head with little forward movement, therapy might be right for you. It’s a place where you can sort through your thoughts and figure out how to move past the circular thinking, with someone who has been trained to help you do just that.

Many things in life can be “handled” alone, but there are times when you may want company as you unpack certain aspects of your life. When it becomes clear that you need outside support, it may be better to sort things out with professionals who are prepared to help. If you are still on the fence about therapy and feel like you can “push through” it alone, just remember that counseling can only help.

Our aim is for therapy with us to feel like having an educated friend who’s got your back, but will also call you out if we know you’re moving in a direction that you won’t be proud of a year from now. If you are seeking ideas to expedite your goals, we help by offering some. If you have plenty of ideas and need someone to help you organize them, we do that too. We help you process major traumatic events in your childhood or current life, and if you require more professional and direct support, such as EMDR, we do that as well!

We have received feedback on many ways in which therapy has helped people. Specifically, it can help with confidence, anger, relationships, and quality of life. The American Psychological Association suggests that counseling can improve many aspects of your life, including learning effective strategies to cope with stress, changing habits that have a negative impact on your career or relationships, and increasing overall quality of life.

We do accept insurance and can bill them on your behalf as a courtesy. Usually, we’ll check your coverage within the first week of your free consultation, so by the time you know you’re a good fit with your counselor, we’ll have all that information lined up and ready for you to consider as you plan future sessions. We will honor what the insurance company says and only charge you what the insurance company states is your portion. If issues with communication arise between our clinic and your insurance company, we will bring you into the fold and help you navigate that.

This is straight from the horse’s mouth (EMDR Institute) because it is a mouthful. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories (Shapiro, 1989a, 1989b). Therapist-directed lateral eye movements are the most commonly used external stimulus, but a variety of other stimuli, including hand-tapping and audio stimulation, are often used (Shapiro, 1991). Shapiro (1995, 2001) hypothesizes that EMDR therapy facilitates the accessing of the traumatic memory network, so that information processing is enhanced, with new associations forged between the traumatic memory and more adaptive memories or information. These new associations are thought to result in complete information processing, new learning, elimination of emotional distress, and development of cognitive insights. In short (back to our words): It helps you feel much more neutral about the traumatic events that have occurred in your long-ago past (and even the not-so-long-ago past).

In the spirit of our “we lead together” mantra here at Confluence Counseling, this will vary from client to client. The variables we take into account include, but are not limited to, the issue you’ve decided to address, as well as the frequency, intensity, and duration of your symptoms.

Confluence does not have a sliding fee at this time, but we do have out-of-pocket options. Feel free to contact us  and inquire.

Client confidentiality is the requirement that therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and most other mental health professionals protect their clients’ privacy by not revealing the contents of therapy. Confidentiality includes not just the contents of therapy, but often the fact that a client is in therapy. For example, it is common that if you run into your counselor outside our offices, they will not acknowledge you as a known contact in an effort to protect your confidentiality.

However, we can and must break confidentiality in some circumstances. One of the most common scenarios is when a client is a threat to themselves or others, in which case a counselor must notify the person in danger or someone who can keep the client safe. In these circumstances, your counselor will likely try to help you seek hospitalization or talk to your support system voluntarily to preserve your independence in the therapeutic relationship that we highly value.

Yes, we can. We offer telehealth sessions via a HIPAA-compliant platform.

Therapy sessions start at $150. Some factors that can affect the price of therapy include:

  • Training of the therapist (highly trained and very experienced therapists typically charge more)
  • Length of therapy session (the longer it is, the more you will typically pay)
  • Specialization (fees tend to be higher when the therapist is an expert in a highly specialized field or treats unusual or challenging conditions)
  • Insurance coverage (people whose therapy is covered by insurance tend to pay less)
