Helping You Attend to Life
Christine Sumpter, MS, LMFT
Your financial situation may have prohibited or discouraged you from seeking professional counseling. I understand the economic pressures on individuals and families. I have established a personalized fee structure to help make professional counseling affordable again. Individual assessment, personalized treatment planning, mutual evaluation and defined goals create an effective structure to make counseling effective and goal oriented.
You are an active participant in the therapy process. Gaining a clear understanding of personal, couple, family, or adolescent issues allows us to work together to determine the best treatment strategy for addressing the challenges you are facing. In some cases the need for outside services are indicated, such as medical evaluation, nutritional counseling, or additional testing. I have a highly trusted network of professionals with whom I work in a treatment team approach. You are an individual, your life is unique, we never treat you in a textbook manner.
