Counseling for Children, Adolescents, Adults, Couples and Families

Welcome to my website. It is my hope that this website is useful to you whether you are an existing client, a passerby, a mental health professional, or looking for qualified professional assistance. I’ve packed in lots of information to the site including the way I describe things, which I call Norma-isms, because the text books don’t describe it this way.

My training methods are in: Music Therapy, The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music, Behavior Conditioning, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Hypnosis and Emotional Freedom Techniques have added dimension and creative approaches to the traditional methods of therapy delivery.

Office visits are by appointment.

~ Insurance and private pay accepted, however new clients are not being accepted at this time.

~ Norma is in network with Aetna, United Behavioral Health, Optum, Cigna, United Health Care,  Blue Cross Blue Shield (New Directions), Multiplan (please check with your account to be sure I’m inlcuded)  and some Employee Assistance Programs including Resources for Living. Optum has added Prestige

~ Telehealth services are available but please check with your insurance. Some insurance companies may limit telehealth when the pandemic has cooled.

~ With regrets, Amerigroup has become Simply insurance. They have an alternate company for behavioral health and Norma is not in network with that company and therefore cannot bill for services.

Announcements:

OUT OF OFFICE! October 3, parital outage 10/17 and out of office 10/18/24. Out of office to play the Mannheim Steamroller tour November 12-15, Thanksgiving time 11/27-29/2024,  Lakeland Symphony School day concerts the morning of 12/16 and 12/24-25. The rest of December and early January TBD.

My practice is changing and new clients are being added only in a limited fashion to manage scheduling congestion.  I have made this decision to allow for more inclusion of the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and more group and alternative healing experiences to be developed.

*** established clients – please call if you need an appointment.  If I have the flexibility in my schedule, I can add an appointment easier than setting up a scheduling exception to the on-line availability.

Please do not solicit me for website or other marketing through this website.  If you send such a message, I’ll know you haven’t really reviewed my site anyway.
