Welcome

"No person
is your friend
who demands
your silence,
or denies your
right to grow."
Alice Walker
Counseling

To Get Started:

To schedule an appointment call me directly at (404) 771-1950 or email at ruth_beard@comcast.net. Be prepared to tell me a bit about yourself. If you email, you will receive a reply email with information for scheduling our first session.

Appointments:

Your appointments are 45 – 50 minutes long per session. The frequency of the session can vary. We will talk together to decide what makes most sense. It will be adjusted accordingly.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

I will talk with you about specifics of costs and payment options during our first meeting.
Most people with insurance coverage have a mental health benefit for counseling. I am covered by most insurance and employee assistance programs (EAPs.). If using a health plan, your cost for counseling will be whatever your deductible, co-payment, and co-insurance is. Coaching may be paid on an hourly basis but is usually paid for per engagement.

Canceled Appointments or No Shows:

At least 24 hours notice is required for all cancellations
to avoid charge for the session.

(Please inquire about pricing for prepaid multiple sessions)
