Key Information and Therapists Bios
All therapists work with depression, stress and anxiety.
You’ll want to know these details and you can view bios of our 24 therapists below.
Therapist Availability Our therapists each have different schedules. We almost always can find you a therapist to meet your needs.
Insurance Plans and Self-Paying Most therapists are on most insurance plans. We DO, however, accept clients paying for their sessions themselves if the insurance plan does not cover the therapist that is the best fit.
Choice of Therapist Terry Hefter, personally, always attempts to match clients with the appropriate therapist.
Therapist Styles Our therapists each have their own treatment styles but can tailor their techniques to the client’s needs.
Couple Counseling Styles (Including pre-marital counseling) Most of our therapists use techniques to assist couples in improving their communication and changing negative patterns of interaction. The goal is to help couples to gain the “tools” for resolving conflicts in the future.
Family Counseling for Children We usually include the parents in sessions for children as we see this as a way to implement lasting change.
