Ford
LPC, Mental Health Counselor
providing telehealth counseling in Ohio
As a therapist, I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and the complexities of recovering from religious trauma. My work is centered on creating a space where trust, safety, and collaboration thrive, with a focus on the relational dynamics that shape healing. I work especially well with individuals who feel stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by hidden shame and ingrained patterns of self-criticism. Together, we’ll deepen your awareness of your emotions, uncover their wisdom, and use these insights to help you face challenges, heal, and cultivate a more authentic and connected sense of self.​​

Insurance:
I own a self-pay practice and I am not contracted with any insurance companies. There are unexpected benefits to choosing a self-pay therapist, to learn more you can check out my blog post here: "6 Reasons You Might Not Want to Use Health Insurance for Your Mental Health Care."
However, if you want to use your insurance, I may be able to provide services as an out-of-network provider.
​
Once a month, per your request, I can provide you with a Superbill that you can then submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. I will not be communicating with insurance companies and it will be your responsibility to submit Superbills to your insurance company as well as to correspond with your insurance company.
​
Here are important questions to ask your insurance company about reimbursement for services:
​
-
What is my out-of-network deductible for outpatient mental health visits?
-
How much of my deductible has been met this year?
-
What is my out-of-network coinsurance for outpatient mental health visits?
-
What behavioral health services do you cover out-of-network?
-
How many sessions do you cover?
-
What is the rate of reimbursement when attending sessions with an LPC provider who is under supervision of an LPCC-S?
-
Are virtual outpatient mental health visits (or teletherapy) covered by my plan?
-
How do I submit claims for out-of-network reimbursement?
Full payment is due at the end of each session from your card on file.
​
It is of importance to note that when using out-of-network benefits, I must provide a diagnosis on your Superbill for you to submit to your insurance company. For those choosing self-pay rather than out-of-network benefits, I am able to forego giving you a diagnosis, per your request in the initial diagnostic session, while still treating your symptoms and implementing an evidence-based treatment plan to help you achieve your desired goals and outcomes of your time in counseling.

I practice under the clinical supervision of Emily Linder, LPCC-S (Ohio License Number: E.2001749-SUPV)
