Prospect Counseling, LLC

Individual Counseling

Psychotherapy can be a transformative, healing process. Through our work together we will seek to build lasting positive changes in thinking, learn new healthy strategies for coping with stress, and improve your relationships through effective communication skills.

Currently all services are virtual. Sessions are conducted through a HIPAA compliant encrypted platform to ensure your security and confidentiality.

At this time I do not take insurance; Fees are based on a sliding scale according to need. I believe effective, ethical counseling should be available to all, not based on privilege. Contact me to discuss rates.
