Info for Parents

I accept new clients ages 10-15 and offer a free 30 minute in-person consultation to assess your child’s needs and determine if we would be a good fit for counseling. Please fill out my consultation form and I will do my best to respond within 24 hours.

SESSION FEE & INSURANCE INFO

My fee is $160 per 50 minute session. I am in-network with Regence of Oregon and most Anthem BlueCross BlueShield plans from other states. If you have out of network benefits with another insurance provider, I can provide you with a receipt which you can submit for possible reimbursement.

WHAT I PROVIDE

I provide individual therapy for adolescent boys. I do not provide family therapy or parent coaching but I have some excellent referrals listed here and here.

We might explore the following in our sessions:
• Accountability
• Anger Management
• Communication
• Coping Skills
• Emotional Vocabulary
• Empathy
• Frustration Tolerance
• Identity
• Impulse Control
• Mindfulness

WHAT TO EXPECT

If this is your child’s first experience with counseling, my goal is to orient them to the process and make our time together positive and productive. Your child may be hesitant or resistant to counseling, I offer a free 30 minute in-person consultation so they can meet me and learn more about my approach. I don’t work with clients who feel they are being made to see me by their parents, this is counterproductive and may impact their desire to seek counseling in the future.

Early sessions will be focused on building rapport and identifying current stressors. Once we identify our counseling goals and what is needed to reach them, sessions will be focused on working toward our goals and maintaining positive changes.
