Balance Your World, Counseling Services promotes the concept of growth and balance. If a person is experiencing difficulty with functioning or adjusting to stressors at school, work, or home it may be time to schedule an appointment. Generally, a teacher or physician may bring up a concern that may be best addressed in counseling.

Your counselor will gather information in the initial assessment to collaboratively create a treatment plan. The amount of sessions needed vary based on the client and their needs, however the average client attends treatment for a minimum of 10-12 weeks. Some clients require further sessions and others require less.

Balance Your World's rates for services vary depending on the services rendered. The intake assessment is priced at $120 for 75 minutes. Individual sessions are priced at $110.00 per 60 minute session and virtual sessions priced at $ 100 for 60 minutes.

Confidentiality is the privileged communication between a client and their counselor. Here at Balance Your World we pride ourselves in keeping your personal information and concerns private. In short, what is said in counseling, stays in counseling. Limits to confidentiality include; if there is suspected child or elder abuse, threat to harm yourself or others, and/or if records are subpoenaed by a judge.

Confidentiality is different when working with a child. As a child’s legal guardian, the parent has a right to know what goes on in the therapy session. However, at Balance Your World we feel strongly that the therapeutic relationship is most effective when the child has a level of privacy. Children are more likely to open up in sessions when they are not in fear that the therapist will be relaying all information back to the parent. Overall themes, feelings, and progress will be discussed with parents. Confidentiality is broken if/when a child discloses something that may be harmful to the themselves or others.

It is important to explain to your child, in an age appropriate manner, about counseling and why they are attending prior to their initial appointment. You may want to say “We are going to talk to someone that works with children to help you feel better”.
