Welcome

It's my joy to be with you as you begin the journey of healing transformation. It takes courage and vulnerability to acknowledge a need for a change. I'm honored to be considered as an option to help begin the steps of transformation.

Treatment Focus

I offer both individual counseling and couple's counseling to help improve communication, gain new skills and connect with their true selves and to realize their capacity for growth, connection, and healing.

Additionally, with my seminary degree, for those who are seeking, I can offer a Christian perspective to counseling. However, if you have a different belief system, I will respect that and not include Christian resources.

My goal is to help you to be the best version of yourself.

I offer evidence-based treatment to help in the growth process.

Whether as an individual or for couples, I will do my best to offer tools and insight in order to equip you with skills to take away from session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach me at jacob@livingtransformedcounseling.org if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Are you accepting new clients?

Yes! I have various appointment times available throughout the week, depending on the day with sessions available usually as soon as the following week.

What are your hours?

I'm available Monday through Friday. I can potentially meet as early as 8:00a if that is needed, but that depends on availability as does my later evening appointments with my latest appointment starting at 5pm. Please call to inquire about specific dates and times.

I'm closed on all major holidays.

What are your rates?

Out of pocket sessions are $130 per therapeutic hour.

However, depending on your financial situation, I do offer a sliding fee scale based on income that can reduce sessions to as low as $90. Proof of income is required.

Do you accept insurance?

I am currently an In-Network provider for Aetna, United Health, Cigna, Oscar Health, and Oxford.

If you're using insurance, your provider will determine your rate per session depending on whether you've met your deductible. But don't worry. You'll know what your cost is prior to our first session.

If I am out of network for your provider, I can offer a Superbill for reimbursements to be made directly to your from you insurance, depending on their policies.

How do I know you're the right therapist for me?

One of my favorite questions.

I believe therapy is relational. Not all therapists, approaches, personalities, areas of expertise, etc. are going to meet the needs of all clients. I want to make sure I can meet yours. Our first session will be an initial consultation where we can get to know one another. I want you to ask me questions as much as I ask you.

Sometimes, after meeting, after assessing your needs and goals, I may not be the best fit for you. If that is ever the case, I will be happy to provide you with appropriate referrals.

How often will we meet?

Counseling depends on your personal situation. However, most start with therapy once a week and in time many transition to every other week or once a month.

What are your cancellation and "no show" policies?

It's understandable if life happens and you need to reschedule an appointment. Missed or cancelled sessions(not due to an emergency or illness) within 24 hours will result in a charge for the full session fee. Missed session fees will be charged on midnight of the day of the missed session automatically.

How do you handle confidentiality and privacy issues?

Conversations between a counselor and a client are governed by the ethical standards of our profession and remain private unless we receive written consent from the client. There are only three exceptions.

Suspected child abuse or dependent adult or elderly abuse, for which we are required by law to report to the appropriate authorities immediately.
A client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person/s, we notify the police and inform the intended victim.
A client intends to harm themselves, we must take measures without their permission that are provided to the therapist by law to ensure their safety.

Should you ever want that I communicate with someone within your family or even a former therapist, a signed release of information consent will be necessary.
