Counseling (also known as psychotherapy) includes an psychological evaluation and diagnosis. The focus is on understanding and resolving symptoms, restoring physical, mental and emotional health, and creating a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Counseling usually involves a minimum of 3 to five sessions and is usually completed within four to six months.
I am licensed in the State of Michigan as a Master’s Level Psychologist and Licensed Masters Social Worker and am authorized to bill for psychotherapy through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. Most of my sessions are scheduled online.
Coaching is a personal education and mentoring process. It does not involve a psychological evaluation and should not be confused with counseling or psychotherapy. (It is not covered by insurance). Coaching can involve a single session to address a specific problem or be set up on an ongoing basis to understand and manage obstacles to a productive and fulfilling life and more fully develop one’s personal gifts and potential.
Consultation involves exploring possibilities, planning, problem solving, or conflict resolution, usually related to a specific problem or concern. We usually agree that my services will be available for a specific number of hours or period of time.
Counseling and coaching involve personal contact, usually via Zoom. Consultation entails personal contact as well as time for research and writing summaries, emails, and reports. Fees are $175 for the initial evaluation and $146 per hour for follow-up. Discounts are available for those with special needs. Fees for consultation for more than a fee hours are negotiable.
