Finding a counselor can be stressful.

We feel that the relationship between therapist and client is the most important part of therapy.

There are many types of psychotherapy approaches. We use a strength-based and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach which are trauma-informed and neurologically-informed.

Using these techniques, we feel confident you will find our office to be a safe and confidential place to create change in your life.

Strength-based Psychotherapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

An evidence-based psychotherapy technique of re-training the way you think about yourself and the world around you.

Trauma-informed Psychotherapy

Emphasizes safety, choice, collaboration, trust and empowerment.

Frequent Asked Questions

What if I want to see you for psychotherapy and you don’t accept my insurance?

You can call your insurance company and ask if you have an “out-of-network” benefit for mental health services. If you do have this benefit, your insurance company will reimburse you for some, or all, of your out-of-pocket expenses that you pay to this office. We can assist this process by sending a claim directly to your insurance company on your behalf. If you do not have an out-of-network insurance benefit, we can offer services at our private pay rate. We can send you a list of rates if you complete a Contact Us request.

Do you offer telehealth?

Yes, we offer both telehealth and in-person appointments.

What is the difference between a counselor, therapist, psychiatrist, etc?

The short answer is:

A counselor, therapist, clinician, social worker, psychotherapist, psychologist are all terms used to describe professionals that use evidence-based practices to alleviate emotional pain and suffering through psychotherapy (talk therapy). 

A psychiatrist, or psychiatric nurse practitioner, are medical professionals that can also prescribe medication to help manage symptoms.

Will you need to talk to my school, psychiatrist, PCP or others?
We will only talk to other supportive persons with your request and written permission.
Do you do family therapy?

Will you help complete paperwork for school services like 504 or IEP requests, or other providers if I need you to?

Yes. There are some services that this office may perform which are not covered by your insurance plan. These services may include report writing, consultations with other providers, IEP meeting attendance, phone calls, etc. These fees are detailed in our intake paperwork which you will be required to sign upon initiating services. Your mental health provider will ensure that any out-of-pocket expenses are discussed prior to commencement of services.

Adrienne Nash, PMHNP-BC provides medication management to her clients only as an add-on to outpatient therapy. She does not prescribe for those who are not actively working with her in therapy.
