Holistic Counseling

  • What is holistic counseling?

    Holistic emphasizes all elements of a person. Sessions incorporate mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual themes to assist with self-discovery. We are an accumulation of experiences, values, and beliefs; those aspects are honored within holistic counseling to assess where maladaptive behaviors stem from and how to adjust according to your concerns, needs, and desires.

  • Why is holistic counseling valuable?

    Holistic Counseling allows us to explore each component of our lives and how its all interconnected. Gaining self-awareness allows for space to explore meaningful ways to heal, cope, and evolve within ourselves and in relationships with others.

  • Do you accept insurance?

    I do not accept or provide receipts for reimbursement for insurance companies. I understand the financial benefits associated with Clients utilizing insurance; however, in my experience as a provider, it can be a barrier to the fruitfulness of treatment. Eliminating insurance allows me to provide treatment in an authentic way that allows for continued collaboration with clients, free of stipulations insurance often accompanies for treatment and compensation. I strive to provide the best experience as your Counselor and in return, the exchange of energy is fluid and compensation for professional services are prompt, clear, and consistent.

  • What are the hours of operation?

    At this time, Alura is operating on an abbreviated schedule. I offer sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 5pm-8pmET.

  • How long will treatment last?

    Treatment duration varies depending on presenting concerns as well as the modality being utilized. For example, if a Client initiates counseling for ongoing support due to grief, treatment can last anywhere from a few weeks or months. Similarly, if a Client pursues counseling to work on a specific skill, such as regulating anxiety, treatment through use of CBT can last typically 8-10 sessions; this can also vary depending on the Client and the extent of their needs as well as how impactful their anxiety affects their daily functioning.

  • I don’t live in Delaware or Colorado. Can I still utilize services?

    Despite being completely remote, I am licensed solely to practice in the two states of Delaware and Colorado. At the time of each session, location will be asked due to safety precaution and licensure regulations. Even if you reside in Delaware or Colorado, you must physically be within either state to receive any and all services. Please consider location when inquiring or preparing for session; residing and being physically present in either state is mandatory according to my LPCMH licensure requirements. No exceptions, including vacations to other locations during the span of treatment.

  • I’m not sure if I’m ready for counseling. How would I decide?

    Pursuing counseling can be the best step anyone can take in regards to their mental health; however, I empathize with the fact that it may increase anxiety and there are inevitable questions. In efforts to provide relief and clarification, I offer free 15 minute phone consultations prior to any service to determine if I may be the best fit for your needs. Scheduling can be done via the contact page on the website. I will respond to all inquiries within 48 hours.
