QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE

DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE?

Yes— some. These include

Aetna
Cigna
Humana
Medical Mutual
OhioHealthy
Ohio Health Choice

WHAT IF YOU'RE NOT IN NETWORK?

We can still work together. My self-pay rate is $165 for the first session (approx. approx. 85 minutes) and $145 for all others (approx. 55 minutes). If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide you with superbills that you can submit to your insurance provider.

CAN WE MEET VIRTUALLY?

Yes. I offer telehealth as well as in-person appointments.

HOW DO WE DO THIS?

That's easy. Call or email me so we can have a brief conversation to see if you think we might be a good fit.

ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE THERAPISTS WHO DOES THERAPY BY TEXT?

No. (Sorry.) I limit texting largely to billing and scheduling related matters. That's for your protection. I also do not send spam texts or provide your information to any third parties unless you've authorized me to do so.

You can find more information on how I use--and don't use--electronic communication in the intake packets below.

WHAT'S YOUR BACKGROUND?

I earned a Masters in Social Work from The Ohio State University and became a licensed practitioner in 2018. I have been seeing clients (individual adults and couples) ever since, and opened Eric Dean Counseling in January 2022. I am trained in EMDR Therapy, am Internal Family Systems-informed, and developed my own continuing education training on working with loss and grief for fellow practitioners.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working in the film industry. And while film still has an important place in my life (and in my office decor), the work I do now is the best and most rewarding that I have ever done.

Privacy Policy

As a therapist, I safeguard your confidentiality and your private health information. This is for your protection. It is also the law.

Any contact information I collect is used only to communicate with you. Unless there is an immediate safety concern, I do not share your information with anyone except those you want and authorize me to. This includes your contact information, which I use only to coordinate with you about your care. No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

For more on your right to confidentiality, please see the downloadable intake packets provided below.
