ONE ON ONE COUNSELING Individual Counseling:

How it Works:  Please feel free to schedule through my portal on Headway (a secure healthcare site where you can access my schedule and complete any necessary informed consent or HIPAA forms).  Here is the link:

If you would like to have a free consult first, We can first set up a 15-minute call (dial 540-386-0611) or email me at mary@marygaskillcounseling.com to schedule a time to talk about your concerns and to see if we might be a good fit to work together.  Then, if you are ready to move forward, we will schedule an in-person appointment for your intake or initial counseling session.                 

In our sessions, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Express Yourself: You can freely share your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. This is a space where you can be yourself.

• Set Goals: Working together, we will identify the goals you want to achieve. These could be related to your mental health, relationships, personal growth, or any area of your life that you'd like to work on.

• Explore Patterns: We will work to help you explore any recurring patterns or behaviors that may be causing distress or holding you back. Understanding these patterns is often the first step toward change.

• Learn Coping Strategies: You'll acquire practical coping strategies and tools to manage stress, anxiety, depression, or any other challenges you're facing.

• Gain Perspective: Counseling offers a fresh perspective on your situation. Therapy can provide insights and alternative viewpoints that may not have been considered.

• Enhance Self-Awareness: You'll develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your values, and your strengths, which can help you make more informed decisions and create a more meaningful life.

• Emotional Support: Counseling provides a source of emotional support during difficult times. I'm here to listen, validate your feelings, and to provide comfort.

• Find your Inner Strength (again): Through counseling, you can build upon your own courage and improve your ability to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and emotional strength.

• Fees:  $140 per session if not using insurance.  In network with Oscar Health, BC/BS of Massachusetts, United Healthcare/Optum, Oxford, Cigna, Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Virginia (as well as some other states), and CareFirst of VA, Independence Blue Cross Pennsylvania (in Virginia), Carelon Behavioral Health, Anthem EAP - Bank of America (in Virginia), Quest Behavioral Health (in Virginia), Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Jersey (in Virginia).

• If you use an HSA, then I can supply you with an itemized bill for your insurance reimbursement.  When you click on the Schedule Online Here button, you can check and see if your insurance (if it's not displayed here) may also cover services.

• If you have insurance that is not listed, I still may be in the network with your carrier (even if it's from another state).  Contact me and we will check into it for you.  You can also enter your basic information into Headway and see if your insurance is covered. This should not be a barrier to your healing.

• Unfortunately, I am not paneled with Medicaid or Medicare at this time.  But you may use private pay.

You deserve to be happy and to feel good!
