We offer a free 15 minute "Get-to-know you" appointment to determine if Living Well Genetic Counseling is right for you. After that, genetic counseling services are $140 per hour. Everyone's needs are different, but we suggest 4-6 meetings each focused on a different aspect of living with a genetic condition. Appointments can be scheduled via this website. 

I am out-of-network with all insurers, but I will provide you with a super bill to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. 

It is very important to me that everyone can receive the support that they need. If you are uninsured, facing financial hardship, or cost is otherwise a limitation to you receiving care through us, please let me know at the "get-to-know you" appointment and I will do my best to find a way.

Living Well Genetic Counseling focuses on supporting families as they cope and live well with a genetic condition in themselves or someone they care for. Many people feel like they are alone and that even other medical care providers do not understand both the medical and practical challenges of living with a suspected genetic diagnosis. 

I recommend 4 appointments focused on each of the following, but we can work together to tailor a plan based on your goals for counseling: 

• Understanding the diagnosis and defining desired outcomes
• Making meaning through challenges 
• Assessing and accessing available resources 
• Moving forward toward hope

I can also connect you with support groups, discuss how to talk with family members, friends, teachers, and other care providers about you or your child's needs, answer questions regarding  genetic testing, talk with your child about a diagnosis, and much more. 

I do not order genetic testing or make diagnoses. I can help you access these services through a genetic counselor or physician local to you.

The frequency of counseling sessions with Living Well Genetic Counseling will depend on your individual needs and goals. Some clients may benefit from weekly sessions, while others may attend bi-weekly or monthly. If you have a specific question about a condition or test result a single session may be sufficient. Set up a "Get-to-know you" appointment and we can make a plan together based on your goals.

All appointments are remote and will take place through a secure video conferencing platform. I will send you the link to join by email before the scheduled time.

Due to licensure laws, I am able to see patients who are located in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Washington DC, West Virginia, or Wyoming at the time of the call. If you are located in another state and interested in an appointment, please message me. I am looking to become licensed in other states and would like to know which states to prioritize first.

Every person is at a different place in their coping journey and our goal is to meet each individual where they are.

My model of counseling is based on Solutions Focused Brief Therapy and Logotherapy (meaning focused). I have experience working with families with many different genetic conditions, including Fragile X disorder, Batten Disease, Rett syndrome, autism, intellectual disability, seizure disorders, brain malformations, muscle disorders, and familial cancers.

Follow the link at the bottom of this page to set up a free "Get-to-know you" appointment. At this appointment we will work together to determine if Living Well Genetic Counseling is a good fit for you.

In order to best support our clients, it is extremely important that we have prior genetic testing records before the first full length appointment. After the "get-to-know you" appointment I will send you an intake survey and release of information documents. If you have worked with a genetic counselor recently, I will reach out to them to get the most up to date notes and genetic testing results.
