Help for Addiction
Help for Anxiety
There is nothing like anxiety. Worry, catastrophizing, and panic, We struggle with fixation and can’t get a thought out of minds. We assume the worst. It takes its toll on our bodies – physicial stress, muscle tension, headaches, stomachaches. 80% of serotonin (a calming neurotransmitter) is in our gut. No wonder we feel it there. Read,more
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is very helpful for addiction recovery, anxiety, attention deficit disorder, brain iinjury, bipoloar and autism. It works by allowing you to see your brain in action. Simplistically speaking the parts of the brain may be too fast, too slow or not stable. When you receive feedback from the brain, you can change how it is overfunction or underfunctioning. Read more

When should we go to counseling?
Style of Counseling

Using a wellness or positive approach is really different than looking at things from a disease model. There are to look through the lens of dysfunction or looking at what causes depression, anxiety or addiction. But, it is really useful to help people get free by looking at what works. We ask “what is it that you really want?” “What would it be like not to struggle with depression or anxiety or addiction?” To answer the question your physiology changes. You begin to focus on what you want rather than what you don’t want. It is a huge shift to move from talking about panic attacks to talking about a life where you don’t struggle. I have been counseling with people for over 30 years and find that this really works and getting people freer fast and staying free. I have studied Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Cognitive Behavioral Psychology and. Systems Theory. When you focus on the solution or the outcome this will increase. If you focus on the problem, the problem increases. I believe in God and believe that He is the source of all healing. I am not pushy with my faith in anyway, but find that people I work with often are looking for something beyond them that will help the overcome addictions: alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual addiction, compulsive gambling, spending, overeating and codependency.
Costs and Insurance
The fee for a 1-hour counseling appointment is $150. Insurance typically covers if you have. I am a provider with these insurances: Blue Cross and First Choice. If you have another insurance they may cover me at an “out of network” rate. At this time I do not offer a sliding scale. I do other therapists I can refer who offer this. Hours that I offer counseling are Monday through Friday 9am to 6pm. On rare occasions I will stay a little later.
