I am committed to providing you a space that is inclusive, non-judgmental, open-space for you to explore, identify and ultimately work to rise above sources of your suffering. I’m here to meet you where you are, honoring your unique experiences, beliefs, and values. All I ask is that you come as your true, authentic self to our sessions. My therapeutic style is integrative and draws heavily from Psychodynamic approaches, while incorporating Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) strategies. Utilizing an integrative approach means that at times we may focus on specific coping strategies to alleviate symptoms, while at other times we may explore deeper emotions or recurring themes in your life that adversely impact your well-being and relationships. In short, I am a psychotherapist who will give you access to quality clinical treatment you may want, and provide the empathy, warmth and safety you need. I believe that coming to understand the underlying–perhaps even–unconscious–sources of our pain, sets the stage for genuine and sustainable healing. As you come to a deeper understanding of yourself through therapy, you may find that symptoms begin to subside, and you will be able to engage more authentically and meaningfully in life. Therapy will allow you to cultivate a renewed sense of courage and resolve to confront difficult situations or emotions, opening up potential for a new and more empowered life. This is how we will work to build your best life. https://www.counselingwithlei.com/services daily 0.75 2024-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62028f3b657f3d067dc7b4bb/1644457990436-NRO0K5O7D2RCKNJJU00S/telehealth.png Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62028f3b657f3d067dc7b4bb/1644457583465-F5PO4QXSYUFSMUEYA7VU/Therapy.png Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.counselingwithlei.com/aboutme daily 0.75 2025-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62028f3b657f3d067dc7b4bb/719c1316-93c3-4dae-8fcb-ec08655584c2/IMG_9295.jpeg About Me - THERAPIST Lei P.

Do you take my health insurance? I currently accept Aetna, Cigna and BCBS/Anthem. My private pay fee is $150 for 55minutes. My financial-need-based sliding scale spots are limited and are often being used by current patients, but please feel free to inquire about availability. What kind of therapy or counseling is right for me? That depends on how you see yourself and your struggles. There are over 400 schools of therapy, and despite their different theoretical foundations, they all work about equally well. Whether they work for YOU depends on your experiences, goals, and whether they fit your worldview. As a therapist who uses an integrative approach, I can draw upon those different schools of therapy, and we can work together to make a plan that best works for you. How do I select a therapist? Research says that your working alliance with your therapist is key. Working alliance is a fancy term for “Do you like, trust and respect your therapist and does your therapist like and respect you?” Without that relationship, it’s hard for anyone to change. So when you have your first session, ask yourself if the therapist really listened to you. Did you feel respected, or did you feel judged and criticized? Did you talk about the things that you wanted to talk about, or did the therapist have their own agenda? Did you feel treated as a unique individual/couple, or did it feel like you were diagnosed and given a label? Did you find yourself wanting to open up and talk more? Please feel free to speak your mind, you will not hurt any feelings, I promise. This is a journey, and the main character is YOU. You, and only you, get to determine who joins you on that journey. Do I need a psychiatrist, psychologist, psychotherapist, marriage and family therapist, social worker or counselor? Ultimately, it really doesn't matter whether you see a counselor, psychotherapist, social worker, marriage and family therapist or psychologist, as long as you feel comfortable with the individual. The relationship you have with your therapist is much more important than the degree they carry. Only a psychiatrist -- someone who has medical degree-- can prescribe medication. If medications are required, they will help you get connected to a psychiatrist to get you what you need. https://www.counselingwithlei.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-05-07 https://www.counselingwithlei.com/our-approach daily 0.75 2022-02-10 https://www.counselingwithlei.com/fees-insurance daily 0.75 2024-12-18 https://www.counselingwithlei.com/fees-insurance-1 daily 0.75 2024-06-04
