Individual Counseling
Individual counseling services are focused at people suffering from anxiety, depression and other serious psychological distress. Traditional therapy services are available at out Orland Park office. Individual counseling services are generally a reoccurring weekly appointment on the same day at the same time. Appointments must be scheduled in advance. Individual counseling services are covered by many endurance providers. Our standard fee is currently $100 a session.
Couple’s Counseling
Couple’s counseling helps facilitate a better interpersonal dynamic and communication pattern between two romantically involved individuals. A therapist doing couple’s counseling can help people sort out the problems they are having with each other and change things up a bit with a new perspective from an professional outside observer. Couples counseling services occur at out Orland Park office. Couple’s counseling services are generally a reoccurring weekly appointment on the same day at the same time. Appointments must be scheduled in advance. Our standard fee is currently $100 a session. Couple’s counseling is rarely covered by any insurance policy.
Urgent Care & Lengthened Session Counseling
Most traditional counseling services focus on helping a person with rather serious psychological problems over an extended period of time. Urgent Care & Extended Session Counseling is available for those clients experiencing an immediate pressing matter and who think they would benefit from a lengthier visit to help them cope with an imminent personal crisis such as a hard break up or tragic personal loss. Urgent Care should NOT be construed as an answer for those having psychiatric emergencies such as urges to harm oneself or others. If you are thinking about harming anybody, please call 911. Like other services, Urgent Care services must be scheduled in advance, but Success Development Services will do it’s best to get you a scheduled appointment in a very timely manner. Additionally, Urgent Care services can last much longer than the traditional one hour if a client feels a need to have somebody to work things out with. You don’t have to wait till next week to get the support you need now! We will do all we can to be there for you in your time of need. Our standard fee is currently $100 for the first hour and $40 for each additional half hour. If several hours is what you need, we will do our best to make it available to you.
In-Home Family or Couple’s Counseling
Success Development Services now offers our client’s the option to have family or couple’s counseling in their very own home. Recent research shows that counseling provided in the home environment, particularly family therapy, can be much more effective because family members are more at ease and are more likely to present as they do in their day to day lives. Like traditional counseling, sessions are one hour and occur weekly at the same day and same time. Couple’s and family counseling are rarely covered by any insurance policy. Our standard fee is currently $150 a session for In-Home therapy in the Orland Park area. An additional fee may be required for more distant travel. In-Home counseling services are NOT available for individual counseling.
Psychoeducational Consultation
Family member suffering mental illness? Want help helping? Many times when a family member is suffering mental illness, others they love are left with many questions few are able and willing to answer. Generally, the person suffering the mental illness lacks the insight and motivation to accurately describe their problems to those who love them. Involved mental health professionals may be too busy to fully address your concerns and can be prevented from doing so by confidentiality obligations. As hard as it can be to get answers about a mental health problem a loved one is experiencing, research shows that interested and educated family members play a critical role in the recovery process. Success Development Services now offers Psychoeducational Consultations for family members of those with mental illness. Through us, you can have a fully licensed psychotherapist visit your home and teach you and your entire family the things you need to know about various mental illnesses to help your loved one get all the proper support they need. Due to ethical concerns, this therapist will not work directly with the suffering family member, nor will he have access to specific medical or psychological records. All work will be conducted in terms of working with the family itself to improve their general understanding of the mental health problem and develop strategies specific to the needs and abilities of their family. The suffering family member will be allowed to participate personally if they desire to, but need not, and should not be made to feel pressured into doing so. Our standard fee is currently $120 a session for In-Home Consultation in the Orland Park area. An additional fee may be required for more distant travel.
Clinical Supervision for LPCs
Are you a LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in the state of Illinois who needs Clinical Supervision so that you can qualify for your LCPC license? Then I’m here to help you. When I was a LPC, the social service agency I worked for didn’t offer clinical supervision, so I had to find a clinical supervisor on my own. It was a nightmare that I wouldn’t want anybody else to have to experience. Now that I am able to provide clinical supervision myself, I would like to make it easier for new therapists to get the support they need to achieve their advanced license. Supervision will occur once a week at my office in Orland Park. Meetings will be at least one hour long, but I won’t rush you out after an hour if there are still important things things to work on. I believe Clinical Supervision is a cooperative mentoring relationship where I will do my best to encourage and inspire you to be the best therapist you can be. During clinical Supervision, we will regularly talk about your current case load, challenges presented by each of your clients as well as areas where you could benefit from professional growth. We will regularly review case notes, assessments and treatment plans. We will work to assure outcome based, goal oriented quality control. We will discuss all of your clients each and every week. We will work collaboratively to formulate the best possible treatment for every one of your clients.
Unfortunately, I am not currently hiring employees or expanding my practice.You must be working at a social service agency or community mental health clinic of some sort where you will be seeing their clients as an employee. I provide clinical supervision only. The Illinois Professional Counselor and Clinical Professional Counselor Licensing Act allows LPCs to practice their profession under a number of circumstances, but that experience only counts towards your LCPC license requirements if the right kind of Clinical Supervision accompanies it. You may not work in your own “private practice” as a LPC and see your own clients even with me as a clinical supervisor. My fee for Clinical Supervision is $100 per week.
