UNDERSTANDING THE SERVICES

Therapy may be helpful if you’re experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, ADHD-related challenges, relationship concerns, life transitions, or simply recognize that something in your life needs greater support.

You do not have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy.

A consultation can help determine whether HER Well-Being is the right fit for your needs.

Your first appointment is an initial clinical assessment designed to help us understand you and the concerns bringing you to therapy.

During this session, we may discuss your current challenges, personal and mental health history, important relationships, life experiences, and goals for treatment.

You’ll also have an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the therapeutic process.

Together, we’ll consider your needs, appropriate treatment recommendations, and next steps. If another service or provider would better meet your needs, referrals may be discussed.

Yes. HER Well-Being provides developmentally appropriate psychotherapy for adolescent girls experiencing emotional, psychological, behavioral, social, or relational challenges.

Parent or guardian involvement is an important consideration in adolescent therapy. The nature and extent of that involvement depend on the teen’s age, clinical needs, applicable laws, and the circumstances of treatment.

We work to support appropriate family involvement while respecting the adolescent’s privacy and the therapeutic relationship. Confidentiality and its limitations are discussed as part of the intake process.

Confidentiality is an essential part of the therapeutic relationship. Information shared in psychotherapy is protected by professional ethical standards and applicable privacy laws.

There are certain legal and clinical exceptions to confidentiality, including circumstances involving safety concerns, suspected abuse or neglect, or other disclosures required or permitted by law.

For adolescent clients, confidentiality and parent or guardian involvement are discussed in a developmentally appropriate manner, consistent with applicable legal requirements.

These policies are explained during the intake and informed-consent process.

Therapy

Therapy is a clinical mental health service provided by a licensed or appropriately supervised mental health professional. Psychotherapy addresses psychological distress, emotional and behavioral concerns, mental health conditions, relational patterns, and other challenges that affect a person’s psychological well-being. Treatment may include clinical assessment, diagnosis when appropriate, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions.

Coaching

Coaching is a nonclinical, goal-oriented service focused on personal development, self-leadership, decision-making, and achieving desired outcomes. Coaching does not involve diagnosing or treating mental health conditions and is not a substitute for psychotherapy.

Wellness

Wellness services generally focus on supporting overall well-being through education, lifestyle practices, stress management, and preventive approaches. They are not necessarily clinical mental health treatment.

HER Well-Being Psychological Services, PLLC provides clinical psychotherapy. Coaching and personal growth services are offered separately through KLC Global, LLC. Each service has its own purpose, professional boundaries, and scope of practice.
