APPROACH
Therapeutic Approach: I will utilize the wisdom and insights of scripture in a straight-forward interactive session in my therapeutic approach and your recovery process.
Rates: $180.00 per session or a sliding scale depending on income and need. Minimum is $120.00. By prior arrangement, this rate may include a reasonable number of emails between sessions, spiritual support for court appearances, advocacy for school meetings, or other activities. Sessions outside Dr. Jones's normal counseling hours require a full session fee.
First Consultation: I will meet with you for a $100.00 fifty-minute consultation to make sure both you and I feel comfortable working together. This consultation does not establish a counselor - client relationship until the proper consent forms are signed.
Sessions: Sessions are normally 50-55 minutes.
Insurance: Insurance claims are not accepted.
Cancellation: Clients must give Dr. Jones 48 hour notice or there is a $50.00 cancellation fee. If a client fails to cancel and misses the regularly scheduled appoinTment, the client will be charged the full agreed upon fee.
I welcome all who desire counseling from God's Word:
Christians: For those who know and love the Lord Jesus Christ, the journey upon this earth can sometimes bring trials and difficulties, new experiences that challenge our faith, feelings and emotions that are uncomfortable, complex situations with spouses, family, friends, and others, complications in school or the work place, or battles with various sins. I can provide compassion, biblical solutions, and spiritual healing from the God's Word in the power of the Holy Spirit when these struggles occur.
Non-Christians: For those who do not know Christ, I would love to introduce you to a saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and help you experience His love, wisdom, and comfort in life's difficult circumstances.
Professional Ministers: For those in professional ministry, I can provide confidential counseling sessions to restore and invigorate for the great responsibility God has given those in ministry.
I am a non-denominational pastoral counselor that provides counseling for children, adolescents, and adults of all Christian faiths in individual or group sessions (when appropriate).
I desire to assist the local churches in their counseling ministries by providing an additional counselor in the local community for those who may feel the need to see a counselor other than their church pastor or those on their church staff, or for those who may not be currently attending a local Christian church.
