Counselor Experience & Credentials
All of our professional counselors are licensed or licensed-eligible in the State of Florida meaning they hold a minimum of a Master’s Degree in Counseling with 1,000+ hours of clinical experience. You may request a specific counselor if you choose, but sessions are usually scheduled according to first available appointment. All counselors are required to abide by Florida State & Federal Law.
Schedule An Appointment
Professional counselors are available each weekday, except on major holidays. Appointments for counseling may be scheduled during regular business hours by calling the number listed here. If you have to leave a message, we will respond to your inquiry within one business day. Non-emergency appointments are typically scheduled within seven to ten business days of initial inquiry. For life-threatening emergencies, call 911. Immediate crises will be handled by our pastoral staff daily at no charge. A limited number of evening and weekend sessions are available but you may need to rearrange your schedule for the first visit as prime slots are typically reserved for those already committed to treatment. All counseling sessions are approximately 45-50 minutes in length (although the first session may take a little longer). Follow-up appointments vary in schedule from weekly, biweekly, monthly, or bimonthly, to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Fees
Our goal is to serve the community by providing high quality, professional counseling services at an affordable cost. In order to meet the needs of the community and for the Counseling Center to be self-sufficient, Highland Park Church has established the following reduced-fee schedule.
Client Status will be determined by HP staff in accordance with current church records.
Fees are based on client status although others may elect to fund their treatment. At this time we can receive payment in the form of credit card, cash or check made payable to Highland Park Church of the Nazarene. The counseling center does not file insurance claims, but you may check with your insurance carrier and request coverage on your own. Fees for each session will be due and payable at the time of check-in. We reserve the right to discontinue treatment in the event of refusal to pay for services. Fees do not include the cost of some materials (eg. Books and workbooks).
