Transitional Journey Counseling

After receiving a referral, I initiate contact with potential client within 24 to 48 hours to schedule the client's initial session. The initial session typically lasts between 40 to 50 minutes. Based on the assessment, a diagnosis is provided and an individualized Master Treatment Plan is Created, During the initial intake, the client signs appropriate paperwork and method of payment. The client decides on the location of services and depending on where the client prerfers to have their session, I typically schedule the initial session withn 7 days after completing the intake paperwork.

I started off as an independent contractor and recently decided to formally start my own business, Transitional Journey Counseling while remaining contracted with Positive Behavioral Solutions. 

Children in the foster care system who have been abused neglected and abandoned. I have also worked with children who face challenges from being adopted through the foster care system. I have worked with "at risk" adolescents with conduct disorder and oppostional disorder. Along with individuals who suffer from trauma, depression, anxiety, mood instability, grief, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, substance abuse and a re-entry program to help male inmates find suitable mental health services when released.

Although, we wre currentlly going through a world wide epidemic, I have found that telehealth is a great option for those who are quarantined, deal with agorophobia, can not travel and enjoy services through an electronic means. The response and reviews have been outstanding since starting the service. 

A positive therapeutic relationship is one of the most important aspect of therapy. So do your research and ask questions to see if you are compatible with the therapist. Make sure you research how the therapist offers services and they are quoted at a fair price marketing. Discuss payment option and sliding scales at the initial consultation or intake. Make sure you explore therapists who are culturally knowledgable and also knowledgablel in the service that you will need.

1. What services does the therapist offers?

2. What are the therapist's working hours?

3. Does the therapist have any specializations?

4. What learning approach does the therapist utilize?

5. How far is the therapist willing to travel if in-home needs are acceptable.

6. If involved in any Court related issues, will the therapist attend Court with you.
