How long and how many times a week is a typical session?

Sessions are usually 60 minutes and the domestic violence groups for men are 90 minutes as required by the State of Florida. The number of sessions depends on what your current needs are.

How long will I be in counseling?

The length of time a client is in counseling depends the nature of the problem and the goals of the counseling. Some clients have a very specific requirements as with the Domestic Violence Programs. The lenght of time is normally determined by the referring party. Counseling is an on-going learning process and some may choose to receive counseling for a longer period.

What if I want couples counseling, but my partner won't come?

Unfortunately, sometimes one partner is not as willing as the other to come in for counseling. However, we often find that it is possible to improve the relationship with just one person involved in counseling. Current we are offering the Domestic Violence Program and this may preclude couples counseling.  

How much are your Fees and do you take insurance?

Your fee depends on the kinds of services you request. For the Domestic Violence Program, we offer a sliding scale fee.  

Do I need to take medications?

As a counselors and therapists, we are not legally allowed to prescribe medications. However, based on a joint assessment of problems you are facing, it may be advisable to consult with a psychiatrist to determine whether medication is warranted. Typically, clients see someone under their health insurance coverage or we can refer you to a psychiatrist.
