Therapy is an opportunity to discuss/talk about issues that are important to the client while having a trained objective person (Therapist) help work through not only the current situation but in dealing with similar situations in the future. Therapy can be about one specific problem, or it can be about multiple. Something to mention is that therapy is a collaborative event, it requires an active role from both the client at the therapist for change to occur.

Restore Counseling Center is self-pay, which means we do not take insurance. We do have therapists who are able to see clients very quickly. Many people are able to schedule an appointment the same week they inquire about our services. Many counseling centers who take insurance have long waitlists, ranging from weeks to months before seeing a therapist.

Our individual sessions are $105 per hour. Our couples and family sessions start at $150 per hour, depending on the needs of the clients.

Our counselors have a limited number of sessions available for clients who need a sliding scale. It is based on the client’s need and is at the therapist’s discretion.

People see a therapist for a wide range of reasons including but not limited to stress management to a specific diagnosis. Sometimes an event occurs that causes an individual to seek out help, while others may attend therapy because it provides a trained objective person to help them work through some issues they may have been struggling with for years. Counseling can be beneficial because a client may feel a sense of control in their life and have the tools to be able to make better decisions or changes in their life.

Our therapists have experiences with all ages, from young children to seniors. Depending on the needs of the patient, Restore will point the patient in the direction of the therapist with the most experience in that age range.

As mental health therapists/counselors, the scope of treatment is talk therapy. Typically therapists have their master’s degree, and yearly cont. education. While psychologists also provide counseling services they also provide psychological testing for schools, courts, and other entities. Psychiatrists tend to liit their talk therapy/counseling services and are typically available for medication management. If your therapist feels that you may need medication, they will provide you with a referral to doctors that they may recommend. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in behavior. If medication is necessary, typically in these clients, medication and talk therapy are used together. Medication therapy is not a replacement for talk therapy.

When looking for a therapist, the letters behind their name can describe their training. Some examples:

Education Level: MA, MS, Med: Masters Degree. PHD, PsyD, EdD: Doctoral Degree

License: LPC, LCSW: Licensed therapist,(Professional Counselor, Clinical Social Worker) Completed supervised hours PLPC, PLCSW: Provisional therapist, Working on supervised hours after obtaining graduate degree

Individual – The client has one-on-one sessions with their therapist to address any concerns and work through and seek positive alternatives. Group – With a therapist facilitator, the clients have the opportunity to work through and support each other with similar interests. Group counseling enables a client to learn from others’ experiences and allows the client to see that they’re not alone.

Couples/Family – Helps reduce tension/conflict as well as improve communication skills within the family unit.

Therapy sessions are typically 45-50 minutes, while groups run longer per session. Clients typically meet on a weekly or bi-weekly basis depending on the client’s needs. The length of time while in therapy will depend on the individual client’s circumstance. The therapist and client will determine that together.

Most clients find that weekly sessions or every-other-week sessions are the best frequency of therapy to achieve the desired results. Depending on the treatment plan, the therapist and the client will determine how long the client should be in therapy.

Some clients are able to process with a few sessions, and others stay with their therapist for months or years. It really just depends on the depth of the work the client and the therapist have to do.
