Join me in a safe environment where you are able to explore feelings while challenging negative thoughts. Let's work together, make improvements, and avoid interference with your level of well-being.

Sessions range from 30-50 minutes. A 15 minute telephone consultation session is free and is recommended prior to the first appointment. Video and telephone alternatives are also available. Subsequent counseling sessions rates are as follows:

30 minutes- $85
50 minutes- $125

BTG is credentialed with the following insurance companies:

Aetna
Blue Cross/Blue Shield
Optum/United Health Care

You may also check with your insurance company in reference to your out of network benefits.

PRE-MARITAL COUNSELING

Marriage is one of the biggest commitments that two people will make in their lifetime. The preparation period before saying "I do" will help set a strong foundation for a healthy and successful marriage. The counseling approach will be integrative and include a range of modalities that align with the needs of the couple. Counseling sessions are 1 hour in length and range from 10-14 weeks. Areas of focus include, but are not limited to:

Marriage Expectations
Healthy Communication
Family background and Influence
Financial Unity
Parenting and Raising Children

**Please be aware that Pre-Marital Counseling is not covered by insurance companies. Couples sessions are $150 per session.**

SUPPORT GROUPS

There is power in universality; the understanding that there are others in your same situation. Share your own experiences and perspectives while also learning from those of others.

Group sessions typically include 5 to 15 individuals and are 1 hour in length. Frequency is determined on a need basis and can be a single session, bi-weekly, or monthly.
