Is a Registered Intern the same as a Licensed Therapist?

A registered intern and a licensed therapist are two distinct roles in the field of therapy, with key differences in their qualifications and level of professional experience.  As a registered mental hearth intern, I work under the supervision of experienced therapist and receive guidance, support, and regular supervision to fully develop my clinical skills. My work is closely monitored, and I am expected to adhere to ethical guidelines and regulations set by the State's licensing bodies.  

​

Benefits include:

  •  Fresh Perspective and Enthusiasm

  • Up-to-Date Knowledge

  • Affordable or Reduced Fees

Payment Policy​

All sessions are self pay.  Major credit/debit cards and FSA/HSA cards are accepted.  All patients must complete and sign credit card authorization forms prior to services being rendered.  Payments will be collected the morning of your scheduled session. We do not bill to any third-party payers nor do we provide any information other than receipts of payment made by you, should you decide to see reimbursement for our services.​

Cancellation Policy

​Appointments that are cancelled with less than 24 hours noticed will be assessed full fee for services. Cancellation fees must be paid before additional services can be provided.  To avoid full service charges use your client portal, call, text, or email us.

How long will I be in therapy?

Each individual is unique and presents with a different set of issues and goals that they'd like to achieve while in therapy.  Depending on the issue, it can take longer to process and heal, where others might require a shorter number of sessions with follow-ups as needed.  The first 2-3 months our clients attend weekly sessions.  During this time we review the progress of your established goals and make modifications as needed.  Once your symptoms have been significantly reduced and you are able to apply coping skills to better cope on your own, the frequency of your sessions can be reduced. 

Termination Policy

Clients are allow three no-shows and/or late cancellations before services are terminated. Rescheduling after termination or a no-show after an intake will be at the discretion of the clinician.

Sliding Scale Rates

​We believe cost should never be a barrier to receiving counseling services. We understand that finances can cause significant hardships that ultimately prevent people from seeking help.  Therefore, we pleased to offer a limited number of low cost therapy sessions through our non-profit arm, The EmpowerHERed Woman Society, to those who suffer from significant financial challenges. This means, you will only be expected to pay what you can afford.  For more information and availability, contact us at (407) 717.5950
