Request an appointment

---

Once we receive a request for an appointment, we will contact you to schedule the intake process. Our Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform allows for a paperless intake process. You will receive an email with a link to your personal/confidential secure portal. When you log in, you will find consent documents that can be signed with a click, a few multiple choice/short answer questionnaires, as well as a space for demographic and payment information.

Great question. This is the #1 question men ask me when it comes to the counseling process. 

Each therapy session is unique to the individual. Typically, the first session is information gathering. Discussing your social experiences growing up, current life events, history relevant to the issue, current thoughts and beliefs, as well as your wants, needs, and expectations. 

Treatment is a collaborative process and it’s important that we work together toward the results you want to see. Goals are established in the first or second session and are workable every session thereafter. Goals, objectives, and interventions form what we call a Treatment Plan. This plan becomes our roadmap for our sessions, which can be modified and adjusted as needed. Most sessions will include dialogue pertaining to progress between sessions, thoughts feelings and beliefs surrounding the issue, as well as actions moving forward. 

Therapy can be short term for a specific issue, or more long term to tackle more difficult patterns of behavior and for longstanding personal development.

Yes. Therapists operate under the same guidelines as doctors. Healthcare practitioners have a duty to keep personal medical information confidential, maintaining compliance with HIPAA regulations. 

The exceptions to this rule are: A person verbalizing an intent to harm themselves or someone else in the future, reported child abuse and elder abuse. In these situations a therapist becomes a mandated reporter. Outside of mandated reporting, a therapist will only release information in the client voluntarily signs a release to give information to a third party. 

Any information about past experiences are kept strictly confidential. At Heart of Man, medical records are kept using an Electronic Health Record (EHR) specifically for therapists called Simple Practice. This EHR uses technology compliant with federal and state guidelines.

The length of time it takes to see results from counseling sessions with Heart of Man Counseling varies depending on the individual and the issues being addressed. Some clients may see improvements after just a few sessions, while others may require longer-term therapy.

The therapists at Heart of Man Counseling are licensed professionals with advanced degrees in counseling or a related field. They have extensive training and experience working with individuals, couples, and families.

Heart of Man Counseling provides counseling services for adult men. Additionally, we will see couples for marital or pre-marital counseling.

Heart of Man operates as a Private Pay Practice, which means that we do not take insurance. At intake, an electronic credit card authorization will be requested. 

An industry-standard therapeutic session is 50 minutes. However, a typical session may be 45-60 minutes. At the beginning of therapy, people tend to schedule treatment once a week, and as they progress that number decreases. The length of treatment depends on the issue and the needs of the person.
