When feelings of depressed and stress, or feeling overwhelmed with anxiety and other life circumstance, you may want to talk with someone, but are worried about how to pay for it.
One client recently shared;
“ I really have been feeling down for many years. Recently it seems worse, probably because of all the things that are going on in my life and I can’t seem to shake this depression this time. I feel like it’s impacting my overall health, but I don’t think I can afford to see a counselor.”
This is a common question. Many times people are struggling with life challenges with issues of depression, anxiety, anger, or a traumatic event. They may also be experiencing grief and loss issues due to a death or a divorce.
They may also be facing one of life’s natural transitional times like childbirth, raising children as they change from stage to stage, or entering into a blended family.
Other natural life changes are when children leave high school and enter life as a adult on their own, as well as the time when we enter retirement or if one loses mobility or ability due to aging, injury or illness.All of these struggles can cause a varying degree of depression in some people and it is at those times when seeking a counselor can help.

Are you aware that your health insurance will cover most or if not all of the cost for mental health and substance abuse counseling services. For some insurances, you will have a co-pay and that amount can be similar to what you pay at a medical appointment with your regular doctor. Each insurance plan is different, calling our office will help you to narrow down exactly what your individual insurance covers and we will help you get connected with one of our counselors.
For anyone who may be struggling with depression, counseling can help.
