FAQ
Not sure what to expect? Here are some frequently asked questions.
Do you offer in person sessions?
Anchored Resilience Therapy is currently only offering virtual sessions.
What is telehealth?
We will use a secure, HIPPA-compliant video conference platform. You can join your session from your computer, tablet or smart phone. We will be able to see and hear each other. It is virtually like being in the same room together, except you don't have to sit in traffic, can wear whatever you're comfortable in and be in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
WHydid you become a counselor?
I became drawn toward the mental health field once I became a mental health officer. I would volunteer to take the welfare checks and POEDs, while some officers dreaded them. I attended every peer support, wellness, de-escalation and mental health related trainings I could get. I also became trained by the FBI as a hostage negotiator. Even through some of this, I had never been to counseling myself until I worked a critical incident that I couldn't shake. It was then I recognized the need for first responders (and everyone else) to have a counselor who understands what they're going through. I'm never going to be shocked by anything you share with me and I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
Who qualifies for the helping professions discount
First responders, medical professionals, crisis workers, school personnel, clergy, therapists and social workers. Please reach out if you have questions about your eligibility.
What will happen at the first session?
During the first session, we will discuss your intake paperwork and identify your goals for therapy. We will get to know each other because I know it can be awkward and scary to talk to a stranger about your life.
How often will i need to come?
Generally, it is ideal to start with weekly sessions. Everyone's situation is different, so it may differ for you. Some clients like to start weekly and work their way to biweekly. This is something we can discuss and together we will determine what is best for your needs.
Do you accept insurance?
As an LPC associate, we cannot accept insurance. You may be eligible for reimbursement through your out of network benefits. Contact your insurance provider to inquire about those benefits.
