Citrus Grove Counseling

Who We Are

At Citrus Grove Counseling, we understand that life can be challenging and overwhelming at times. As a licensed therapist, I, Emma Hertzel, am dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering environment for individuals, couples, and families to address their unique concerns and work towards a more fulfilling life.

About Our Services

As a licensed therapist, I have spent over 10 years working with clients from diverse backgrounds and experiences. My eclectic approach to counseling allows me to tailor my services to address a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, chronic health conditions, and more.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR trauma therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I also incorporate mindfulness and art-based techniques to provide a holistic approach to healing.

What You Can Expect from Our Services

At Citrus Grove Counseling, we prioritize building a trusting relationship between clients and therapists. I believe that a strong therapeutic alliance is essential for effective therapy. By working together, we can identify the obstacles that hinder your life and work towards developing strategies to overcome them.

Why Choose Us

As a licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience, I have worked with hundreds of clients, each with unique experiences and concerns. My rare neuromuscular condition, similar to muscular dystrophy, has given me a unique perspective on disability and chronic health conditions. This experience has allowed me to connect with individuals who have faced similar challenges and to use my own experiences to inform my approach to therapy.

Session Fees and Insurance

I offer a sliding scale fee for individual or couples sessions, ranging from $90 to $200. Initial sessions are 90 minutes, and regular counseling sessions are 45-50 minutes. Payments can be made by cash, check, or credit card. I currently accept Blue Cross / Blue Shield and United Healthcare, and I can help you submit claims to your insurance company for reimbursement as an out-of-network provider. I also work with a billing specialist to help you check your benefits and determine if your specific plan covers all or part of your counseling services.
