Frequently Asked Questions

The Mind Gym Counseling & Wellness Services offers individual counseling sessions to adults ages 18 to 64. Common reasons for seeking counseling include: anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and life changes. 

I work with adults ages 18 to 64 in individual counseling. I do not provide counseling for children, teens, couples, or families. This allows me to focus my practice on supporting adults through individual counseling. 

I do not work with children or adolescents. If you are seeking counseling for someone under 18, I encourage you to look for a provider who specializes in working with children or teens.

Additionally, I do not work with adults over the age of 64 as I cannot take Medicare. If you have Medicare, I encourage you to look for a provider who accepts Medicare.

Yes, The Mind Gym Counseling & Wellness Services does offer telehealth services to those physically located within the State of Ohio. Some insurance companies limit telehealth benefits, and some require periodic in-person appointments (sometimes one or two per year), so it is important for you to verify your telehealth benefits with your insurance company.

During your first session with The Mind Gym Counseling & Wellness Services, your counselor will ask you questions to get to know you better and understand what brings you to counseling. This is part of the assessment process. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the counseling process. If your needs and goals are outside of your counselor's scope of practice, referrals will be provided. 

Appropriate referrals will be provided under the following circumstances:

• Those in need of crisis or emergency services
• Those in need of substance use treatment
• Those seeking services for a minor
• Those with Medicare
• Those looking for couples or family counseling
• Those with any other needs and goals outside of your counselor's scope of practice

A counseling session with The Mind Gym Counseling & Wellness Services typically lasts for 53 minutes, although session length may vary depending on your specific needs and preferences.
