Counseling appointments
are on evenings or Saturdays. Most sessions will run approximately 45 minutes. If you are unable to make an appointment, please
call and let me know ahead of time.
I do not see children under 11 because my office is
not set up for play therapy. However, I do work with parents of children under age 11 on parenting issues.
Payment is required at each session
in the form of cash or good checks made out to Inside Out Ministries. Initial consultation is $30 and therapy sessions are
$60. I do not accept Medicaid but a sliding scale is available. I prefer not to use insurance because I believe therapy should
be based on the needs of the client rather than the requirements of the insurance industry. Every situation and person is
unique and this policy enables me to provide individualized services. However, I also realize not everyone can pay by cash
so currently I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois and Healthlink, and may add other insurance in the future.
I am available to do presentations in the community, school or church setting
on the following topics: parenting, trauma, attachment, anger, anxiety, and the mind/body/spirit connection. |

The counseling center has the following beliefs about
relationships: - I believe that God created people with a body,
soul (mind, will & emotions), and spirit. To live the abundant life Christ died to give us, these three areas need to
be in harmony with one another and in submission to Christ.
- I believe in
taking basic counseling principles and combining them with the power of prayer, the authority of God's word, and the supernatural
power of the Holy Spirit to bring about positive change in our lives.
- I believe that as our inside (thoughts, beliefs, feelings) change, our
outside (behaviors and words) will begin to change to reflect the inward change.
- I believe in Hope. No problem or situation is too difficult
for God to intervene in and transform for the good of everyone involved.
