There are many reasons one considers beginning counseling. Perhaps you are struggling with grief over a lost loved one, stress is beginning to negatively impact your mood, or you have not properly processed the traumas from your past. Whatever the reason, beginning counseling allows you the opportunity to reach the happiness you have always been working toward.

Every client creates their own goals that they want to achieve in counseling. Some common benefits are:

• Develop coping skills

• Feel empowered

• Improve your mood and regulate emotions

• Increase self-awareness

• Establish boundaries

• Learn healthy communication skills

One of the biggest factors in making sure that your counseling experience is successful is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. The foundation of this relationship begins at the first communication, which is why BK takes special care in our phone consultations to ensure that your needs are being met. This fosters the building of trust between us, which is essential to our counseling process.

We offer free phone consultations to garner basic information about your symptoms and to determine if we would be a good match moving forward. If so, we would be happy to schedule your intake session at that time.

Prior to your intake session, you will be asked to create a client portal and fill out the necessary documents and releases for new clients. These documents must be completed before your intake session.

A major component of our individualized treatment plan is goal setting. When you begin to make progress toward your goals and reduce the symptoms you are experiencing, it is a sign that therapy is working for you. While each person’s symptoms and goals are a little bit different, the foundation of all of this is a positive, trusting working relationship. When one feels safe within the therapeutic relationship, they allow themselves to be more vulnerable. That is where the healing begins.

We are in network with the following providers: Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare, Oxford, Oscar Health, Cigna, and Carelon Behavioral Health.

We use a virtual billing system called Headway. Once you make a Headway client account, you can submit your insurance information to find out what your insurance coverage is for sessions.

We do accept HSA, FSA, and HRA cards if you have one through your current insurance provider. We do not accept Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs).
