Adjusting to change, dealing with anger, and stress, can all be difficult to navigate. Whether it’s due to relationships, family, school, work, something that has just come up, or a “stuck” feeling you can’t seem to shake. Finding answers to life’s problems can leave you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and alone. I want you to know you don’t have to navigate through life’s challenges alone. I know therapy and sharing your life can be scary, and the stigma surrounding mental health can prevent individuals from seeking a therapist. That is why it’s important to find a therapist you can connect with.

Insurance
Healing Minds, Helping Hearts, LLC is considered an out of network provider, and a superbill can be provided for insurance reimbursement in lieu of accepting insurance. Some individuals choose to not involve their insurance provider in their treatment. A couple reasons are, they don’t want a diagnosis permanently attached to their health record, and they don’t want personal information being obtained by their insurance company. Please check with your plan directly to verify your coverage.
Emergencies
I understand emergencies do arise, however, I’m not able to provide emergency coverage for clients on an “on call” basis. As a solo practitioner, my practice does not support those who need after-hours care or crisis services. If you are in crisis, or an urgent mental health issue emerges please call the Georgia Crisis & Access line at 1-800-715-4225. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please call 911 or go to your local emergency room.
