If you feel stuck or you are experiencing burn out, it is likely because of at least one of these reasons: 1. Your inner talk is SABOTAGING your game (and you do not know how to stop it). 2. You have shaped your identity around what other people think, do, or say. You have LOST SIGHT of your internal barometer. 3. You are BURNING the stick at both ends, and you have no idea what IS WORKING in your life and what IS NOT. If any of this rings true, follow along. WHO AM I: I am the founder of Medvesta Hypnosis, a Registered Nurse, and a Hypnotherapist, believing that medicine alone will not bring you the ultimate fulfillment of health. WHAT...

Nazia S. says, "I can't praise my therapeutic experience enough—it's been nothing short of transformative. I needed help with emotional imbalances, sleep issues, and anger management, and the results have exceeded my wildest expectations. First and foremost, Shak has played an important role in helping me regain emotional equilibrium. His guidance, wisdom, and unwavering support have been the cornerstone of my healing journey. Through his compassionate approach, I have learned to navigate and overcome the emotional challenges that once seemed impossible. Sleep used to be a battleground for me, but with his guidance, I have witnessed a remarkable improvement in sleep quality and my sleep cycle. The peaceful nights I now enjoy have not only restored my physical well-being but also had a profound impact on my mental clarity and overall outlook on life. Dealing with anger had been a longstanding struggle, but his expert strategies and techniques have empowered me to manage this emotion positively. I have gained control over my reactions and have cultivated a sense of inner peace that has transformed my personal and professional relationships and daily life. Most importantly, this therapeutic journey has helped me become a better version of myself. I have uncovered a depth of self-awareness and personal growth that I didn't think was possible. The tools and insights I have acquired during these sessions extend far beyond the therapy room, enriching every aspect of my life. Shak demonstrated the qualities of kindness, compassion, and professionalism to the highest degree. His ability to create a safe and non-judgmental space allowed me to open up and explore my inner world. His dedication to my well-being is obvious in every session. You must believe this, I wholeheartedly recommend Shak and Causality Care to anyone seeking emotional balance, better sleep, anger management, and personal growth. The journey may be challenging at times, but with the right guide, like the one I found, the possibilities for transformation are limitless. Thank you for helping me rediscover the best version of myself." Read more

I have been in private practice as a therapist for 30+ years. I am easy to talk to, and am quite interactive with my clients. I am adept at helping my clients get to the root of their issues, and most tell me they begin to feel better and more hopeful after just a few sessions. I love my work! It is truly an honor to accompany my clients through this very personal process. It is gratifying to help them heal, and get to a point where their symptoms are no longer hindering their growth....

Your counseling questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much does counseling cost?

Counseling costs $100 to $250 per session if not covered by insurance, depending on your location, type of counseling, and the counselor's specialty. Prices are on the high end of the range in major metropolitan areas like New York and San Francisco. The average cost of counseling with insurance is $20 to $60 per session for the copay.

Online counseling costs $50 to $110 per week through websites that offer a membership plan. Plans on the lower end of the price range are typically limited to support via text or email messaging only, while plans at the higher end of the range include scheduled video sessions with a licensed counselor or therapist.

Marriage counseling costs $120 to $250 per session for in-person therapy or $90 to $230 per session for online therapy.

Can you use an HSA or FSA for counseling?

You can only use your HSA or FSA for counseling if you have a billable diagnosis—such as depression or bipolar disorder—and the therapy is deemed medically necessary. You can't use your HSA or FSA for marriage or family counseling, grief counseling, or therapy for stress management.

What are the types of counselors?

Counselors have a master's degree in psychology and are trained and licensed to practice psychotherapy. A counselor may be licensed or certified in a specific area:

  • Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC)
  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs)
  • Licensed Practicing Counselor (LPC)
  • Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC)
  • Registered Child Therapist RPT)
  • Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

What does a counselor do?

A counselor can help you navigate challenging life situations, understand your emotions, strengthen your self-esteem, and improve your communication and coping skills. They provide support through difficult times and guide you in making the necessary changes in thinking and behavior to improve your mental and emotional health.

Counselors can help you with a variety of problems:

  • Depression and mood changes
  • Marriage and relationship problems
  • Grief or loss
  • Anxiety, stress, and panic attacks
  • Self-esteem and body image concerns
  • Eating disorders
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Anger management
  • Addiction
  • Gender or sexual identity concerns

Can counselors prescribe medication?

Counselors are licensed psychologists but not medical doctors, and in most parts of the U.S. they are not allowed to prescribe medication. Only Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, and New Mexico allow counselors to prescribe medication, and counselors in these states must complete additional psychopharmacology training and certification.

In the rest of the U.S., only a medical doctor can prescribe medication. Psychiatrists are medical doctors and can prescribe medication, but they typically do not provide talk therapy or counseling services.

Can counselors diagnose ADHD, autism, or other mental health conditions?

A licensed counselor can give a mental health diagnosis in all states except Indiana and Maine. However, the counselor must refer clients to a psychiatrist or other medical doctor if the condition requires medication. Consult a counselor near you if you have concerns about ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, bipolar disorder, or other mental health conditions.

How can I choose the best counselor near me?

When searching for a counselor, it's important to choose one who makes you feel comfortable, safe, and respected. Follow these tips to find the best counselor for you:

  • If you have a specific concern—such as depression, stress, or relationship issues—look for counselors who specialize in that area.
  • Ask your medical provider for recommendations.
  • Read reviews from other clients on Thervo and Google.
  • Confirm the counselor accepts your insurance or offers a sliding-scale rate.
  • Ask about telemedicine and virtual visit options.
  • Schedule an initial consultation to make sure you're happy with the counselor's communication style and empathy.

What questions should I ask counselors?

Ask these questions to help you choose a counselor who will help you achieve the best results:

  • How long have you been practicing, and what are your certifications?
  • What areas of counseling do you specialize in?
  • What is your philosophy as a counselor?
  • What therapeutic approaches do you typically use?
  • What does a typical session look like?
  • Are you more directive or guiding as a counselor?
  • Do you give homework or reading assignments?
  • Do you offer virtual / telemedicine appointments?
  • Do you accept my insurance? Do you bill the insurance company directly?
  • Do you offer sliding-scale rates for clients without insurance?

Alexander is a great listener and by asking questions he made me realize things that helped me a lot in the course of my life. I feel that I will be coming back to him for these self realization sessions as these are things I could not see without his help and coaching and life is full of surprises. I highly recommend Alexander for his caring and non judgemental approach and wisdom in asking the right questions that suited me and my situation and elevated me in my thinking process. Thank you, Alexander!
