Making an appointment
You can contact me via my contact form here or email me at: eileen@createforgrowth.com. We will set up a time to chat about your needs and my services. If we both decide to move forward with services, we will then have an initial intake appointment at my private practice located at: Strides to Success, 1350 Terry Dr, Plainfield, IN 46168.
Art Skills and therapy
Many people worry that they won't benefit from art therapy because they "aren't good at art". In our first session I remind you that this is not art class, I am not concerned with technique and quality of imagery. What I want you to experience with art therapy is a new way to express yourself and gain insight. Art is a form of creative expression that can benefit everyone.
Directions and Parking
My practice is located within Strides to Success at 1350 Terry Dr, Plainfield, IN 46168. This beautiful horse farm is home to a non-profit organization devoted to helping individuals with a variety of needs through equine work. My office is inside the main barn that can be accessed from the parking lot. Please park out front and be respectful of all animals/people within and outside of the barn. This is a non-smoking campus and clients are not allowed past the front entrance of the barn without staff supervision. Please do not disturb the horses.
Cancellation and No-Show
Sessions are scheduled for a 45-53 minute clinical hour unless scheduled otherwise. A scheduled appointment is a reserved time only for you. If an appointment is missed or cancelled with less than 24-hour notice, the client will be responsible for a $90.00 fee. A twenty-four (24) hour notice is required when cancelling and/or rescheduling appointments. Repeated cancellations or failed appointments will result in termination from services. Exceptions to this policy are only at the discretion of the therapist involved with the client.
Payment Options
I accept payment in forms of cash or check. Clients wishing to pay for services with Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover will be charged a service fee of 5% in addition to their payment. If you wish to submit your sessions for out of network reimbursement, please note that this requires the mental health professional to give you a DSM-V diagnosis that will be added to your insurance file. Paying out of pocket has various advantages, including increased confidentiality and privacy about your treatment.
Rates
Art therapy and general counseling sessions are $120.00 for 60 minutes. Depending on needs and household income, accommodations can be made. There is no guarantee for how many sessions you will need before you notice a large improvement in life satisfaction or reduction in symptoms.
Art Instruction sessions are $75 for 50 minutes. Please inquire if you would like a longer session for art instruction. Supplies will be provided by client (list will be given depending on choice of material). Again, limited openings are available per month, so inquire quickly.
