We have compiled some of the top frequently asked questions about Emily Abeledo and her services.
There are a number of benefits available by participating in therapy. Therapists can provide support, problem-solving skills, and improve coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, unresolved childhood issues, grief, stress management, body image issues, and creative blocks Many people also find that counselors can be a great asset in managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, marital problems, and the hassles of daily life. Therapists can provide a new perspective on a difficult problem or point you in the direction of a solution. The benefits you get from therapy depend on how well you use the process and put what you learn into practice. Some of the available benefits of therapy include:
Everyone goes through difficult situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you’ve faced, there’s nothing wrong with reaching out for extra support when you need it. In fact, therapy is for people who have enough self-awareness to realize that they need a helping hand, and that’s something to admire. You are taking responsibility by accepting where you are in life and committing to change the situation by seeking therapy. Therapy provides lasting benefits and support, giving you the tools you need to avoid triggers, redirect harmful patterns, and overcome any challenges you face.
People have many different motivations for coming to psychotherapy. Some may be going through a major life transition (unemployment, divorce, new job, etc.) or are not coping well with stressful circumstances. Some people need help managing a variety of other issues, including low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, spiritual conflicts, and creative blocks. Therapy can help provide much-needed encouragement and help with the skills to get through these periods. Others may be at a point where they are ready to learn more about themselves or want to be more effective with their goals in life, such as effective dating and improving their romantic relationships. In short, people seeking psychotherapy are ready to face the challenges of their lives and ready to make changes in their lives.
Because each person has different problems and goals for therapy, therapy will differ from person to person. In general, you can expect to discuss current events going on in your life, your personal history relevant to your problem, and report progress (or any new knowledge gained) from the previous therapy session. Depending on your specific needs, therapy can be short-term, for a specific problem, or longer-term, to address more difficult patterns or your desire for further personal development. Either way, it’s more common to schedule regular sessions with your therapist (usually weekly).
It is important to understand that you will get more results from therapy if you are actively involved in the process. The ultimate purpose of therapy is to help you bring back to your life what you learned in the session. Therefore, beyond the work you do in therapy sessions, your therapist may suggest some things you can do outside of therapy to support your process, such as reading a relevant book, journaling about specific topics, writing down particular behaviors. or take action on your goals. People seeking psychotherapy are ready to make positive changes in their lives, are open to new perspectives, and take responsibility for their lives.
There are many different types of insurance and coverage. Each insurance determines which therapy services it pays for and which it does not. Couples therapy is not usually covered, nor is Coaching, and especially Courtship Coaching. Insurance generally requires a “medical necessity” to qualify for psychotherapy. That means they want to see a psychiatric diagnosis in your medical record that explains why you are getting these services.
This clearly puts people in a bind, as they must have a psychiatric diagnosis in order to receive treatment. That diagnosis becomes part of your medical record, and your insurance will require information about the diagnosis, your history, and your treatment. In short, using your health insurance compromises your confidentiality.
Confidentiality is one of the most important components between a client and a psychotherapist, and the success of therapy depends on the therapy client trusting their treatment provider.
Consequently, I offer my clients the peace of mind of guaranteeing that the services are always confidential. Yes, your treatment will have to be paid ‘out of pocket’, but no one will have access to your private information.
However, state law and professional ethics require therapists to maintain confidentiality except in the following situations:
* Suspicion of past or present abuse or neglect of children, adults, and the elderly requires therapists to report to authorities, including Child Protection and law enforcement, based on information provided by the client or collateral sources.
* If the therapist has reason to suspect that the client is in serious danger of harming himself or has threatened to harm another person.
