Yes! Carele can accept clients insured with Aetna, Cigna, BCBS of Mass, and United.

At this time, Joleen can only accept self-pay clients.

As someone who is self-pay, you have more control over your treatment than when you use your insurance. You control the modality of the treatment provided, the frequency, length, and duration of therapy.

Yes! Our hope is that therapy is affordable and accessible to anyone in our community. If there are extenuating circumstances that are impacting your finances, we have a set a rate as needed. If not, we also can refer you to another clinician that can better fit your financial and mental health needs.

Therapy does not have to be life-long and because we’re self-pay, there’s no strict timeline we have to follow. YOU decide how long you want to work with us.

We do not offer medication management. We can provide you with community resources so that if medication is something you decide you want to include in your treatment, you can obtain it.

The difference is between a friend/family member and a clinician can feel like nothing; However, someone who has the training and experience to do that same thing professionally and is unbiased and uninvolved in your daily life.

A clinician can help you approach your situation in a new way– teach you positive coping skills, gain different perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself. Therapy is completely confidential. You won’t have to worry about others “knowing my business.”

Lastly, if your situation provokes a great deal of negative emotion, if you’ve been confiding in a friend or family member, there is the risk that once you are feeling better you could start avoiding that person so you aren’t reminded of this difficult time in your life.

Coaching and counseling are both forms of support services that aim to help individuals overcome challenges and achieve their goals, but they differ in their focus, approach, and objectives.

Coaching: Primarily focuses on helping individuals set and achieve specific goals, improve performance, and develop skills. Coaches often work with clients to enhance their personal or professional lives by identifying strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. The coach and client collaborate as equals, working together to identify and achieve the client's goals. The relationship is often more goal-oriented and less focused on exploring deep emotional issues.

Counseling: Focuses on addressing emotional and psychological issues, resolving past traumas, and improving overall mental well-being. Counselors work with individuals to explore and understand their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. The counselor-client relationship may involve a more traditional therapeutic dynamic, with the counselor providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment for the client to explore and understand their emotions and experiences.
