Once your concerns are identified, you, in collaboration with Dr. Donna, begin the process of determining the goals that you wish to accomplish.  Throughout the process of therapy you will be encouraged to address your own progress while revisiting these goals.  During this review, you have the opportunity to revise as needed… all in accordance with your own values and aspirations.  The work will have an emphasis on your strengths and ability to resolve your problems in a way that is congruent with your style, needs and values.

Whenever feasible Dr. Cotton encourages family involvement in treatment.  Even in individual treatment this can be helpful because you can begin to understand yourself and your child in the context of the  family as a unit.  This is also a way that family members can learn how they can support each other, overcome their challenges and each rise to greater heights.

Payment Options

Most insurance companies cover mental health, sometimes referred to by insurance plans as behavioral health.  We accept most insurance plans.  We also provide services through EAP plans.  Please be sure to bring your insurance card to the first appointment.  Prior to arriving to the office we can email the forms to be completed on your first visit.  For those individuals without insurance we can work with you on an appropriate scale basis.
