Caring and competent professionals can help patients gain perspective, insight, understanding, and tools for managing or even conquering whatever personal challenges they may be facing.

San Tan Counseling currently has three specialized groups, with others to be added at a future date:
• Teenage Exploration
• Arbinger/Relationship - The Choice
• Sexual Compulsivity Recovery Group

Group therapy can be helpful in four ways:
• Group therapy provides observations and counsel from other participants who are going through, or have gone through similar experiences.
• Group therapy can provide a supportive relationship.
• It is more cost effective than individual therapy.
• Group therapy provides a professional education element.

The most important element in your counseling experience will be the relationship and/or connection that you feel with your counselor. You will likely be able to tell if the “connection” is going to happen in the first or second session. If you do not feel comfortable with your counselor, please ask for a change. You are seeking services and need to have the best help for you.

A second element to consider when selecting a counselor is the counselor’s training, education, and experience. At San Tan Counseling, we have the best counselors in the area. They are competent, caring, and capable professionals.

Currently at San Tan Counseling, we do not have a provider on staff that is licensed to prescribe medication. Our counselors are familiar with psychotropic medication and are able to refer you to a psychiatrist, medical doctor, or psychiatric nurse practitioner when medication is considered to be a viable option in conjunction to treatment. In such cases, we are able to provide continuity of care with medical services.

The recent HIPAA amendments have emphasized the importance of keeping account information confidential. San Tan Counseling follows all applicable state and federal regulations with regard to its business practices, including data and software security. When you come in for your first appointment, you will have an opportunity to view our policies and to receive a copy of the regulations. San Tan Counseling is committed to keeping patient information confidential and is committed to ongoing education training for HIPAA compliance.

Counseling is most successful when the patient is actively engaged in their therapeutic process. This commitment includes your time, insight, effort, finances, and follow-up. The length of time for counseling will vary by personality and by the nature of the challenge. Industry averages are usually 6 to 12 sessions, although some situations call for fewer sessions, and some others for more.
