Telehealth therapy is a effective way to fit Mental Health Counseling into your life. Typically if…read moreyou call your will be directed to a patient portal where all demographic information, emergency contacts, consent for treatment and privacy notice is done. Also it is common to provide insurance information and a HSH or credit card for copayment. If a credit card is required it will be encrypted and used per the policy for late cancellation or a no-show appointment. No insurance policy (including Medicaid plans ) pays for no-shows. The encrypted card protects the time of the professional, and grows the commitment of the client. Finally, Counselors have extensive education, training, and supervision requirements. Licensure requires non-discrimination policy to race, gender, orientation, and socioeconomic level. Private SELF PAY practices are quite different than an agency that accepts all insurance and Medicaid programs. Staff of CORNERSTONE chose an occupation committed to Service, and believe it should be available to all.

After about 50 questions in I was told to stop. We then go into his office to discuss my symptoms and why I am unable to work. His manner of questioning literally made me cry. He doesn't have a calm manner and I felt uncomfortable around him. Gives of a creepy vibe. But, he did deem me crazy in his eyes so it only helped my case. Having a degree in psychology myself, he is very old and outdated. I can't imagine having to see him on a regular basis.

Dr. Wax has been the major part of my relationship and I would not have it any other way. He help…read moreus really communicate and strengthen relationship between wife & I like you wouldn't believe. I remember the first time we saw Dr. Wax, his words were "I know I'm very good at this, but whether or not I'm right for you, I don't know" ... He is indeed, VERY GOOD at what he does, and turns out he was right for us. And NO, he's not cocky, that is the only sentence I have ever heard out of his mouth about how good he is for the year or so we've been seeing him. He is personable, down to earth and friendly, I would recommend him any one I know.

I sought Dr. Lakin's help after reading his very informative blog posts. Our 4 year old daughter…read morehad a months-long potty training issue that we tried and failed to successfully resolve. She was very fearful and exceptionally good at avoiding the part that terrified her - namely defecating in the toilet. We'd tried educating her, rewarding/bribing per, praising her, talking about it and not talking about it. NOTHING had worked at all. Her pediatrician didn't have any answers either. I read everything I could find online but none of the strategies worked. Then I met with the wonderful Dr. Lakin. He asked a lot of questions about our history with potty training but also questions about our daughter in general to better understand her personality and behaviors. He suggested a new consequence and a new reinforcement for us and I kid you not - it worked within 24 hours. Within days, it was like she'd never been afraid and the prior 9 months had never happened. We couldn't be more grateful for Dr. Lakin's professional insights. After the toilet issue was resolved, we started looking at our parenting struggles differently in light of his advice and CBT blog posts (e.g. daughter getting out of bed too early in the AM, and not eating vegetables). Looking at things from a behaviorist perspective has shifted our parenting strategies and we've been much more successful mitigating the examples above. I will definitely call Dr. Lakin again the next time we get stuck! We give him our very highest recommendation!

If you're in need for a life-changing therapist Dr. Lakin is what you need. I was a patient of Dr…read more Lakin when he worked in the East Bay in California. I was 14 when my mom got recommended Dr. Lakin to help me with my server depression. When I first went to him, I was so hopeless and did not believe that I could be helped. After seeing him for about 2 and half years and can fully say that Dr. Lakin saved my life. I saw him when he worked in DBT and CBT therapy. I was a little skeptical about his exposure therapy because it was outside my comfort zone, but Dr. Lakin helped me through the process. He is so open and honest with you, and that is something I admired so much about him.It was not your traditional therapy. We would go on walks and do the most random activities. I did not understand this, but it was all part of the process and it was so helpful. When I first started seeing him, I did not want to go, but after a couple months of sessions, his office became my safe place for 2 years. He ended moving away from my hometown so unfortunately, I could not see him anymore, and I have not seen anyone since him, but because of Dr. Lakin, I can go through life, with the skills I need for my depression and anxiety. I am now 18 and at a very good college, and when I first came to Dr. Lakin I never went to school, because of how miserable I was. Although I have not seen Dr. Lakin in almost 2 years, I would not of graduated from high school or gotten into college without him. I could not recommend him higher, if you need help and are feeling hopeless, Dr. Lakin is the person to help you.

I tell all my friends about him. My only regret is that I used my employee's assistance program to see him. Per the contract I was only able to see him ten times. I have gone to other counselors since seeing Mr. Weigele but felt that they did not have the experience and skills to help in my situation. Mr. Weigele takes the time to listen and get to know you. He offers many solutions and evaluates the whole situation. I feel that he was the only one that remembered what we talked about in our last session to help resolve the issues moving forward. If you are a male he is great because I feel he is very easy to talk to. I also think my wife really liked him too. Even though my wife was the cause of many of the issues, he was not afraid to tell me how I could improve the situation as well. If you just need to talk to someone, don't wait to call him. He helped me understand how to live with a recovering addict, but I feel that he could help someone with any situation.
