Frequently Asked Questions
Are you taking new clients?
Yes, I am currently accepting new clients. To schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation or an intake appointment, please email me at mary@maryhg.com, or call me at 616-315-0915.
How do I start services?
I strive to make this process as easy as possible. Simply reach out by email or phone, and I will take care of the rest. I offer free 15 minute phone consultations to determine your counseling needs. I currently offer sessions by appointment only, Monday-Wednesday 9am-5pm. Sessions are available in-person in Walker, Michigan and via telehealth for individuals in the state of Michigan.
Are you available in case of an emergency?
I offer counseling on an appointment-only basis. This means that I am unable to function as a crisis or emergency resource for in-the-moment support.
If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency or are in crisis, please call 911 or go to the closest emergency room. You can also contact the national suicide & crisis lifeline 24/7 by dialing or texting 988. Appointments are scheduled Monday-Wednesday 9am-5pm.
Are you able to provide superbills if you don't take my insurance?
Yes, we offer receipts of payment and are able to provide superbills if you would like to submit your sessions for potential reimbursement if I am an out-of-network provider.
Child/Adolescent Frequently Asked Questions
What ages of children do you work with?
I work with children ages 4+. For counseling with children under 14, I only offer in-person counseling in my office in Walker, Michigan.
How often are sessions scheduled?
Sessions are most commonly scheduled weekly or every other week, but the frequency of sessions depends on your presenting concerns and availability. We will discuss this together!
As a parent/guardian, how will I be involved in my child/teen's counseling?
Involvement in your child's counseling is an important piece of their success! For young children, you can expect to have a parent session with me every 3-5 counseling sessions. As children get older, these sessions are typically less frequent. If you have updates that you need to share outside of our regularly scheduled parent consultations, I ask that you email me or share them via our HIPAA-compliant portal.
Research also tells us that when a child's caregivers are engaged in therapy of their own, the entire family unit gets better faster; I recommend that if a child is in therapy, that their grown ups also seek their own therapy services.
