FAQS & investment
HOW DO I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT? DO I NEED TO FILL SOMETHING OUT BEFORE WE MEET?
You can book your appointment through links on the home page and throughout this website. You can also reach out to us directly if that feels more helpful to you. You can call 336-405-8583 or email jena@littleseedcounseling.com. We use a secure practice management system called Simple Practice to obtain and store your information. We will ask you to fill out a few forms and sign a professional disclosure form prior to arriving to your session. We are available to help you with this if you have questions. In addition, if you are utilizing Telehealth, you will need to download the Telehealth for Simple Practice app available in the App Store.
IS THERAPY PRIVATE?
For the most part, yes. I always like to inform my clients about what information can be shared. There are a few situations where your information may be disclosed which will be discussed in my professional disclosure. In most cases, if you are a not a harm to yourself or others your information is kept confidential. It is important to read my professional disclosure thoroughly so that you are aware of these situations. In addition, many do not know that by using your health insurance we are required to provide a diagnosis and case notes to your insurance company. This information becomes part of your medical record. If you do not want this information to be shared with your insurance company, please choose to pay out of pocket.
DO YOU ONLY TREAT TRAUMA, ADDICTION AND GRIEF?
I treat all sorts of things (anxiety, depression, mood disorders), but I specialize in trauma, addiction, infertility and grief because they require a knowledge base and skills that I have worked on for almost a decade. I choose to specialize so that my clients are clear that I have mastery in these areas. As an example, you wouldn't go to your general doctor if you needed to have surgery on your foot -- you would be referred to someone who understands how best to treat you. Therapy works in the same way!
If you have any concern about whether or not we would be a good fit, I am happy to offer a free 15 minute consultation. Please reach out!
IS COUPLES THERAPY ABOUT DECIDING WHO IS RIGHT AND WHO IS WRONG?
Not at all. I work with couples who are tired, frustrated, angry, and overwhelmed. My job as your therapist is to help foster communication between partners. I use the Gottman Method in my work, which provides you with skills that you can take with you to use outside of my office. I don't believe it is helpful to act as "judge and jury". My job is to help you to understand what needs work in your relationship, how to foster an attitude of appreciation and how to communicate in a way that helps bring you together rather than apart.
