How does mental health counseling work?

You will meet with me to address any current (or past) concerns that you’re trying to overcome. MindWorx Counseling helps our clients address negative thoughts and feelings that you have struggled with for far too long. By learning new coping skills you will be able to confidently define and pursue your dreams. “You deserve to live your best life” is not just the slogan of MindWorx Counseling but a true statement and reality that individuals can experience if they let themselves. MindWorx Counseling is here to help support and guide clients to live their best lives.

What to expect at my first session?

Your first session will be slightly different from all other sessions. I will get to know you, and you will get to know me! During the initial session you’ll familiarize yourself with MindWorx Counseling’s policy and practices. We’ll also share expectations of one another. By the end of the first session, you should be clear about next steps. We will have a working plan to help you achieve your goals.

How long are the sessions?

The first session generally lasts 1.5-2 hours. All consecutive sessions are between 45 minutes. You may schedule longer or shorter sessions as needed.   

Do you provide online counseling?

Yes, we do! Telehealth is the way of the future, and MindWorx Counseling strongly believes in the value of online therapy. We provide Telehealth through a HIPAA compliant software. At this time, the virtual option is offered only for clients located in the state of Florida. Our physical office is in Sarasota, FL.There are clients who choose to use both Telehealth and In-person therapy! If you’d like to try Telehealth , please note that it’s always preferable to be in a comfortable and quiet environment in order to benefit the most from the online session.

What is your cancellation policy?

When you schedule your an appointment, we are reserving that time especially for you.  If you cancel without giving us 24 hours notice or if you do not show up for an appointment, we lose the opportunity to schedule another client who might be waiting for an appointment time.  Therefore, any late-cancelled (less than 24 hours notice) or unattended appointments will be billed to you for the full amount. Inclement weather, illness, or other emergencies are understandable reasons not to keep an appointment and will not be charged.  We value and respect your time and hope you will provide me the same courtesy.  Thank you.
