My office will be happy to bill your insurance company. This practice belongs to many (but not all) managed care and preferred provider health plans.
My mission is to offer ethical and effective treatment for people regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation. I am often asked if I am a "Christian Counselor". I am not. My masters degree is in "Counseling & Human Services". I treat patients of ALL FAITHS, and respect their religious and spiritual beliefs (including those who are agnostic or athiest). If you prefer a "Christian Counselor", I encourage you to contact your place of worship for an appropriate referral.
