INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS:
Your first visit with your therapist will consist of talking about you, your history, and the issue you are attempting to resolve. During subsequent sessions, you identify goals for your treatment plan and begin working at that resolution. Your therapist will work with you utilizing their education, experience and resources through talking and problem solving helping you to gain insight and coping skills. Further information from community resources, written materials, and/or internet sites may also be provided to increase your knowledge and education.
You and the therapist discuss how often the sessions will take place. Sessions initially are generally once a week and run between 45-55 minutes. As you progress and begin to experience positive outcomes, further discussion will take place around completing the counseling experience.
FAMILY SESSIONS:
Family sessions facilitate communication, relationship building, and conflict resolution. Married couples, dating couples, parents and children, siblings, extended family members, etc. need resolution of issues or better skills in coping with situations as they arise. The family sessions will follow the same general format as the individual. Healthy Mind Counseling Services strongly encourages parents and/or guardians be included when working with children. The caregiver can provide information about the history of the child/children as well as areas of concern.
IN HOME COUNSELING:
Often, it is hard to handle the changes that come with advancing age, illness, the loss of independence, them stress of caring for a loved one, and other issues that can cause depression, anxiety, and other emotional difficulties. For many seniors, there are times when life delivers more challenges than they may think they can handle. Some individuals may be lonely, depressed, trying to cope with the loss of a loved one or simply just not "feeling like themselves". Many of our clients are unable or do not desire to travel to
a therapists office for the help they require. It’s hard to ask for help and often it’s even harder to find.
Their home provides the most private, natural and comfortable place to explore themselves and their relationships with others. A home-based approach allows for greater flexibility, convenience for the senior and eliminates any anxiety that may be related to concerns about privacy. There is no waiting room time, no clerical staff, and no sign in sheets. If Medicare is the primary insurance it will pay for these services,
no doctor referral or medical requirement to receive services. We will verify benefits to determine what is covered by insurance and what will be the responsibility of the client.
COACHING:
Small business entrepreneurs, managers, sales professionals occasionally need the perspective of another business professional to help them set goals for improved performance, look for resolution of difficult professional or personal situations in the workplace. Enhancing strengths and identifying weaknesses for improvement are key ingredients of a coaching relationship. As in all athletic endeavors the participant has
a coach that helps them bring out the best performance possible for that individual as well as teach team building skills. The same applies to the long-term success of all business professionals.
EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM:
This payment option is available to employees of participating companies. Check with your employer to see if this Employee Assistance Program (EAP) benefit is applicable. This is a benefit that may be provided for you in your benefit package where you are employed. The EAP company that has contracted with your place of employment will authorize one or more sessions in which you can seek counseling for a personal concern or issue. Your company does not receive any information about what, when or why you are coming to counseling. Some employers also will provide this for family members of employees. EAP
services are brief, solution focused counseling. If your issue is determined to require long-term treatment, than you are referred to your managed care company (insurance) for services.
If you want to access EAP services, the first step is to check your employees’ handbook or talk with the Human Resource Department to find out if this is a benefit provided for you. If so, call the EAP Company and tell them you want to obtain authorization for EAP benefits with Healthy Mind Counseling Services, Inc. If we are not providers for that particular EAP, they will be able to assist you in finding someone who can help you.
Verification of benefits:
If you are not certain what your insurance covers or does not cover for our services, we will call and confirm your eligibility and benefits for you with no commitment to services.
