How Do I get Started?
How Do I get Started?
You may schedule anytime by clicking on the link green link below. You may also email me at mary@marygaskillcounseling.com to inquire about counseling services. I am happy to offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. I know it can be a bit unnerving or stressful to call a stranger to talk about your life. But I'm happy to listen and to answer any of your questions.
What is your style and personality?
What is your style and personality?
You should expect kindness, a warm smile, and an accepting demeanor when you arrive for sessions. While there are appropriate and necessary times for seriousness and introspection, you'll find that we will also find some comic relief and laughter amid our work together. I hope that while you may come into sessions feeling discouraged or overwhelmed, you will walk out feeling lighter, validated, understood, and with a plan to move forward.
What treatment modalities do you use?
What treatment modalities do you use?
I use what will be effective for you. I tend to lean toward a Person-Centered approach, Psychodynamic/Depth Psychology, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapies, Psychospiritual Practices, Trauma-Informed Care, and Humanistic modalities to provide you with an Integrative and Holistic Experience.
Are you taking new clients? How do I pay for my counseling? Do you have a no show fee?
Are you taking new clients? How do I pay for my counseling? Do you have a no show fee?
Yes. I am currently seeing clients in my office in Blacksburg and would love to meet you! Please schedule below, using the green tab button.
Please see the Services page for information on fees and insurances accepted. I use a service called Headway that will handle any inquiries about your insurance for free and set up a secure account for you once you enter some basic information. They also provide access to my schedule.
I understand that we sometimes need to reschedule as life just happens. Please try to let me know ahead of time. Your fee for the appointment may be charged if you are a no-show or cancel late. Thank you for understanding, as the appointment could have gone to another interested individual.
