Dealing with the Insurance Company

8/9/2019

My blood is boiling! I am a mental health counselor because I WANT to help people. I understand that life can be difficult and therefore, quality, genuine support is necessary. However, it is not always accessible or affordable to the individuals who need help the most.

I choose to participate with health insurance companies as an in-network provider as part of my advocacy for helping people. Many therapists (and I mean, the majority of them!) in the Atlanta area do not accept insurance for mental health services. This means a potential client has to decide if they can afford to pay the full price of counseling in order to receive effective treatment. Some clients are blessed financially to be able to afford this luxury. Others, are not – but these people deserve to receive quality therapeutic services as well!

Here is WHY some therapists (this includes individuals who are licensed as LPC, LMFT, LCSW, PhD, PsyD, MD in mental health) stopped accepting insurance:

Time: It can take an hour or more (per client) to access a representative to discuss benefits, claims, preauthorization. This is BEFORE seeing a client for the initial session.
Payment Delay: It takes 7-14 days to receive payment after a claim is submitted.

Claim Issues: If a claim is denied or other issues arise with payment, the provider must re-contact the insurance company to advocate (fight) for a resolution. This can require several calls and hours of UNPAID time. ** This is why my blood is boiling today! Yes, Anthem BlueCross BlueShield, I’m referring to you! **
Payment Rate: Payment from insurance companies changes based on client plan. The payment range is between $60-$98. Therapists who do not accept insurance typically charge $150+ per session.
Frustration: Contacting the insurance company means going through an automated system, then dealing with a representative who “understands” the issues but can’t do anything to help except read from a script. Providers are unable to speak to a manager or receive a resolution in the moment; everything has to be “expedited” to an “adjuster” and then wait “7-10 business days” for a resolution. (Yes, I realize I’m putting everything in air quotes. The frustration is that it usually requires more than one round of “research” for BCBS to fix any issues.)
Expensive: Therapists are only paid for the time they are face-to-face with a client; therefore, paperwork, claim submission, billing, etc. are unpaid work time. This means a provider must either: 1) use their time to contact the insurance company or 2) hire personnel to handle anything related to non-therapeutic tasks.

Deep Breath, Bree. Inhale… Exhale…

Now that I have shared with all of you what the behind-the-scenes experience of dealing with insurance companies (specifically Anthem BCBS), I want to shift focus and share with you WHY I will continue to accept insurance for my clients:

Client Needs: My clients need help managing anxiety, depression, and anger. My clients don’t need (and may not be able to handle) the stress of worrying about the cost of counseling and/or the stress of contacting insurance companies. Clients deserve respect and compassion. I will advocate for them (even though it is personally frustrating sometimes).

Mental Health Awareness: Without effective mental health treatment, individuals living with depression and anxiety are in crisis. Access to therapy is need to prevent suicide and maladaptive living for individuals.
Advocating: Insurance companies need to know that they are causing harm to individuals who are in dire need of mental health services. Denying access to services, underpayment of services, and/or lack of payment for services means some therapists will stop partnering with insurance companies.

It’s that simple (and complicated). People matter.
How can we get the insurance companies
(specifically Anthem BCBS) to realize this??

Am I crazy? Or are You trying to make me think I’m crazy??

3/10/2019

0 Comments

I believe we’ve all had moments where we question our own sanity. Maybe it is when you make a big purchase impulsively. Maybe it is when you decide to have your first (or fifth) child. Perhaps it is when you decide to make a career change and/or move to another city. It can feel “crazy” to fall in love, to try skydiving or bungy-jumping, sing karaoke, dance like no one is watching, or hundreds of other small or big scary, exciting, risky, new things. Your sanity is probably also challenged when you continue to make the same decision over and over again, even though you are experiencing disastrous results.

Life needs some “crazy” to feel alive, purposeful, energized; to feel like you are truly living!

The negative stereotype of crazy is: foolish, stupid, bizarre, weird, irrational, ridiculous, eccentric, or odd. Most people don’t want to be judged or insulted. Sometimes, this makes a person conform to societal norms; sometimes it allows someone to choose to limit their time around the types of people who are mean and/or manipulative. As a counselor, I encourage clients to be the best version of themselves and also to set boundaries so clients are not pulled into unhealthy relationships.

Unhealthy relationships can occur in a variety of ways. If your relationship is healthy, you are able to be self-aware and possibly ask yourself “I’m I crazy for pursuing this passion project (despite having the resources)?” If your relationship is unhealthy, you may find yourself asking “I told my boy/girlfriend about my new project idea but he/she said they are happy for me, but then asked if I think I can really follow this through and be successful. I’m so confused.”

gas·light (verb): to attempt to make (someone) believe that he or she is going insane (as by subjecting that person to a series of experiences that have no rational explanation) [or] To manipulate events and situations in order to make a person believe that he or she is crazy.

Gaslighting, which is a type of manipulation, occurs over time. The manipulator wants to gain your trust before he/she knocks you down. If you miss the early warning signs, you may be sucked in too deep to believe you can get out of the relationship as things get worse.

Recently, I caught someone in a lie, so I asked him about it. He responded aggressively and defensively. He never took responsibility or admitted fault. He insulted me by stating “I guess I now know your type of crazy!” The statement was meant to make me realize I was wrong for questioning his poor behavior and character. His goal was for me to apologize. Even as a therapist with healthy boundaries, this accusation hurt my feelings. I needed a few moments to digest and process. Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that (in this situation) that he was “trying to make me think I’m crazy” *not* “I am crazy.”

Here are the main differences:

Acting Crazy = need for more self-awareness, accepting responsibility, showing kindness and care, implementing humility, showing empathy, utilizing healthy coping skills, applying constructive decision-making skills

Tricked into feeling Crazy = realization that this is about the other person, not you! You cannot communicate with a manipulator the same way you can with a rational, reasonable person. Protect yourself first and avoid falling for their harmful tricks.

Additional signs you may be being gaslighted:

1. Withholding: Your partner pretends not to understand you or flat out refuses to listen to you. He or she might say things like “I don’t want to hear this again.”
2. Countering: Your partner questions your memory, even if you’re sure you know what happened. They say “You’re wrong, you never remember things correctly,” or “You’re imagining things, that never happened.”
3. Blocking/Diverting: Your partner changes the subject to silence you or questions how you’re feeling, saying things like “Is that another crazy idea you got from your (friend/family member)?”
4. Trivializing: Your partner makes your needs or feelings seem unimportant, constantly telling you that you’re too sensitive, or that “You’re going to get angry over a little thing like that?”
5. Forgetting/Denying: Your partner pretends to have forgotten what really happened, or flat out denies promises he or she made to you. He/she will say things like, “I don’t know what you’re talking about” or “You’re just making things up.”

If these statements resonate with you, seek help from a professional and your trusted family/friends.

Are constantly second-guessing yourself.
Start to question if you are too sensitive.
Often feel confused and have a hard time making simple decisions.
Find yourself constantly apologizing.
Can’t understand why you’re so unhappy.
Often make excuses for your partner’s behavior.
Feel like you can’t do anything right.
Often feel like you aren’t good enough for others.
Have the sense that you used to be a more confident, relaxed and happy person.
Withhold information from friends and family so you don’t have to explain things.

Addressing the Problem/Tips

Remember, your opinions, feelings and perceptions matter. You have a voice and you have a right to be heard, without ridicule.

Stand your ground, no matter what. The manipulator wants you to give in and give up.

Don’t doubt yourself or your ability to correctly remember what has occurred. If it helps, keep a journal of events. Documenting helps, especially if you need to prove your case before a judge.

Your feelings matter! Your feelings should be validated. If your partner repeatedly dismisses or trivializes your feelings, they are, in essence, treating you like a child.

Do NOT second-guess yourself. Recognize that the problem is with them, not with you.

Suicide Prevention

6/8/2018

1 Comment

Life is Precious. It is also complicated. The difficulty lies in the small things: how you feel; how you perceive something; your support system (or lack thereof); how to handle difficult and/or uncomfortable things; your relationships; and your coping skills. [Did I say “small things”?!?]

When a person starts to doubt themselves, their life, or their future, this is devastating. Disappointment and setbacks are temporary. Don’t make a permanent decision based on current, difficult circumstances!

Warning signs of Suicidal Ideation or Intent:

Appearing depressed or sad most of the time.
(Untreated depression is the number one cause for suicide.)
Talking or writing about death or suicide.
Withdrawing from family and friends.
Feeling hopeless.
Feeling helpless.
Feeling strong anger or rage.
Feeling trapped -- like there is no way out of a situation.
Experiencing dramatic mood changes.
Abusing drugs or alcohol.
Exhibiting a change in personality.
Acting impulsively.
Losing interest in most activities.
Experiencing a change in sleeping habits.
Experiencing a change in eating habits.
Losing interest in most activities.
Self-harm (such as self-mutilation).
Being dismissed as “attention seeking” instead of feelings/actions being taken seriously.

Performing poorly at work or in school.
Giving away prized possessions.
Feeling excessive guilt or shame.
Acting recklessly.

Note: Up to 75% of suicide completion occurs after exhibiting one or more warning signs. Pay close attention to those around you. Get/Offer help!

How to (get or ask for) help:

Remember:
1.     Your emotions are not fixed - they are constantly changing. How you feel today may not be the same as how you felt yesterday or how you'll feel tomorrow or next week.
2.     Your absence would create grief and anguish in the lives of friends and loved ones.
3.     There are many things you can still accomplish in your life.
4.     There are sights, sounds, and experiences in life that have the ability to delight and lift you - and that you would miss.
5.     Your ability to experience pleasurable emotions is equal to your ability to experience distressing emotions.

Action Steps:
Step #1: Promise not to do anything right now
Even though you’re in a lot of pain right now, give yourself some distance between thoughts and action. Make a promise to yourself: "I will wait 24 hours and won't do anything drastic during that time." Or, wait a week.

Thoughts and actions are two different things—your suicidal thoughts do not have to become a reality. There is no deadline, no one's pushing you to act on these thoughts immediately. Wait. Wait and put some distance between your suicidal thoughts and suicidal action.

Step #2: Avoid drugs and alcohol
Suicidal thoughts can become even stronger if you have taken drugs or alcohol. It is important to not use nonprescription drugs or alcohol when you feel hopeless or are thinking about suicide.

Step #3: Make your home safe
Remove things you could use to hurt yourself, such as pills, knives, razors, or firearms. If you are unable to do so, go to a place where you can feel safe. If you are thinking of taking an overdose, give your medicines to someone who can return them to you one day at a time as you need them.

Step #4: Don’t keep these suicidal feelings to yourself
Many of us have found that the first step to coping with suicidal thoughts and feelings is to share them with someone we trust. It may be a family member, friend, therapist, member of the clergy, teacher, family doctor, coach, or an experienced counselor at the end of a helpline. Find someone you trust and let them know how bad things are. Don’t let fear, shame, or embarrassment prevent you from seeking help. And if the first person you reach out to doesn’t seem to understand, try someone else. Just talking about how you got to this point in your life can release a lot of the pressure that’s building up and help you find a way to cope.

Step #5: Take hope - people DO get through this
Even people who feel as badly as you are feeling now manage to survive these feelings. Take hope in this. There is a very good chance that you are going to live through these feelings, no matter how much self-loathing, hopelessness, or isolation you are currently experiencing. Just give yourself the time needed and don’t try to go it alone.

Talk about how you feel:

Tell the person exactly what you are telling yourself. If you have a suicide plan, explain it to them.
Phrases such as, ‘I can't take it anymore’ or ‘I’m done’ are vague and do not illustrate how serious things really are. Tell the person you trust that you are thinking about suicide.
If it is too difficult for you to talk about, try writing it down and handing a note to the person you trust. Or send them an email or text and sit with them while they read it.

Make time for things that bring you joy. Even if very few things bring you pleasure at the moment, force yourself to do the things you used to enjoy.
Get out in the sun or into nature for at least 30 minutes a day.

Things to do:

Talk with someone every day, preferably face to face. Though you feel like withdrawing, ask trusted friends and acquaintances to spend time with you. Or continue to call a crisis helpline and talk about your feelings.
Make a safety plan. Develop a set of steps that you can follow during a suicidal crisis. It should include contact numbers for your doctor or therapist, as well as friends and family members who will help in an emergency.
Make a written schedule for yourself every day and stick to it, no matter what. Keep a regular routine as much as possible, even when your feelings seem out of control.
Exercise as vigorously as is safe for you. To get the most benefit, aim for 30 minutes of exercise per day. But you can start small. Three 10-minute bursts of activity can have a positive effect on mood.
Remember your personal goals. You may have always wanted to travel to a particular place, read a specific book, own a pet, move to another place, learn a new hobby, volunteer, go back to school, or start a family. Write your personal goals down.

Things to Avoid:

Being alone. Solitude can make suicidal thoughts even worse. Visit a friend, or family member, or pick up the phone and call a crisis helpline.
Alcohol and drugs. Drugs and alcohol can increase depression, hamper your problem-solving ability, and can make you act impulsively.
Doing things that make you feel worse. Listening to sad music, looking at certain photographs, reading old letters, or visiting a loved one’s grave can all increase negative feelings.
Thinking about suicide and other negative thoughts. Try not to become preoccupied with suicidal thoughts as this can make them even stronger. Don’t think and rethink negative thoughts. Find a distraction. Giving yourself a break from suicidal thoughts can help, even if it’s for a short time.

What is Your Parenting Style?

5/9/2018

0 Comments

For the last 14 years, I have been an energetic and dedicated middle school counselor. Friends and strangers ask, “How can you work with middle school students? That is the toughest age!” Yes, friends, it is a difficult age, but it is difficult for the child; it is not about me.

While I spend time helping students, I also spend countless hours meeting with parents of these students. I listen and understand that parenting an adolescent is a very difficult and exhausting experiences. Some parents navigate this process easier than others. Perhaps they have a personality that is easier to acclimate to the changes in the adolescent brain and body; or, perhaps they have already been through the struggles with an older child? However, not every parent (or every student) is equipped to seamlessly handle the ups and downs of adolescence and middle school issues.

As an outside observer and expert on childhood development, I am able to guide students and parents based on overall trends, research, and experiences. As a counselor (and a human), I am not perfect. I give advice, suggestions, and support through the scope of ‘do no harm’ and the desire to provide the best ethical and effective assistance. Some tips and ideas work better for one child and other suggestions are needed for a different child. As a parent, I am sure you have also noticed the differences with needs between your own children and/or among your child’s friends. This is the learning curve.

What happens when a parent appears to NOT be operating with the mindset of ‘what is best for my child?’ What if that parent is using words like ‘support,’ ‘advocate,’ or ‘protect’ to actually smother (emotionally), control, or push their child in a direction that is unhealthy for that particular kid? How can a parent identify the difference between SUPPORT vs. SMOTHERING?

Supportive-Style Parenting

Encouraging your child to pursue goals/dreams

------------
Teaching/building skills for: communication, problem solving, coping with life, confidence, and resilience
------------
Nurturing and Empathy
------------
Listening for Understanding
------------
Allow natural consequences to occur

------------
Discipline appropriately to teach rules and morals

Smothering-Style Parenting

Forcing your child to pursue your goals/dreams for them
------------
Doing for your child: speaking for them to teachers, fixing issues, defending without facts, preventing failure and recovery.
------------
Overbearing or Clingy
------------
Speaking for your child
------------
Protecting your child from learning lessons (at school, with friends, in relationships, etc)
------------
Blaming other people for things your child does and/or enabling entitled behavior.

Obviously, these are broad categories, not a recipe for step-by-step instructions on parenting.

The message is: Teach your child. Then, step back and let them try.

Here is what your child will learn when they do for themselves:

·        Confidence: they tried and now they know their capabilities.

·        Perseverance: they will try again (with support) to improve.

·     Resilience: they won’t be defeated forever; they will get back up and try again.

· Pride: they will feel accomplished by putting forth their own effort.

·   Self-Confidence: they believe in themselves to try something new or try something a different way.

·   Determination: you can’t get everything right the first time or exactly the way you want it, but it is worth fighting for.

·     Communication: they will learn to speak assertively to others about their needs, wants, and desires.

· Emotional Regulation: ups and downs are normal for life that can be managed effectively with healthy coping skills.

·    Self-Control/Self-Discipline: by learning and practicing parental rules and expectations, the child learns to self-regulate to acclimate in society.

·  Problem-Solving: your child will be able to look at issues from different perspectives and brainstorm for appropriate resolutions.

·  Understanding: mistakes happen – that’s okay. Failure occurs (with grades, friends, sports, and many other things). Hard work and effort are needed to correct issues of failure or disappointment from becoming permanent issues.

·    Natural Consequences: if your child is mean to someone, that person may stop being their friend. This is a natural consequence. If your child does not complete homework or study for a test, your child may fail. This is a natural consequence.

·  Responsibility: Rescuing children (or people in general) from natural consequences prevents learning and accepting that each person has to be responsible for their own life and choices.

This is not an exhaustive list of lessons to learn for adolescents (or in adulthood), but it is a good start.

Can you honestly ask yourself:
Am I a supportive parent or a smothering parent?
How do I feel about my answer?
What improvements can I make for myself and my child?

As always, my #1 priority is the safety (emotional and physical) of my clients. I want healthy parents to teach their children to be healthy, productive teens and adults. Ongoing self-reflection is necessary for this to occur.

Benefits of Counseling -- Tips and Encouragement to Begin Therapy

* Please pardon my 'frozen' face before the video starts. I am proud to show you all my flaws! *

Below is the transcript of the content.

Hello and thanks for visiting Private Counseling’s Blog “What’s New in Therapy”! I am Bree Winkler and I’m a licensed professional counselor. You are watching this video because you think you could benefit from some therapeutic help. BUT, you are also nervous and unsure about the process. You don’t want to waste your time or money. You aren’t sure if your issues are big enough for professional help. Does this sound like you? Of course, it does! We all wrestle with the unknown. Therapy is a new experience, either because it is your first time ever talking to a counselor for help or it is just a new therapist to talk to. Here are a couple of tips to help you navigate this process.

Everyone, and I mean everyone, needs help. You are not ‘crazy’ when you go to therapy. Instead, you are choosing to take care of yourself. Help is available.
You might be thinking, ‘I have friends and family I can talk to,’ which is probably true. But, what if you need to talk about your relationships with them? Or, what if they just don’t know how to really listen to you to understand you completely? Or, what if you don’t know how to express yourself to them? This is why counseling is beneficial.
Another reason for counseling is breaking poor habits. Habits are difficult to change. Why? Because it takes work and because change is uncomfortable. A good counselor can help you make a plan to change an unhealthy or unhelpful habit, as well as support and encourage you through the process.
People want to know what type of reasons someone would attend therapy? Clients go to counseling for a variety of topics. I specialize in helping clients cope with the normal events of life: relationships, anxiety, mood changes including depression, anger management, handling unexpected events such as grief, job loss, moving, and also helping build communication skills for all aspects of a client’s life.
People also ask how long they would have to attend therapy? Well, that also depends on the person. Some clients attend counseling for a few sessions to resolve a specific issue or reach a particular goal; other clients attend therapy for many sessions, depending on their personal needs.
The final tip I have today is about the therapeutic relationship between counselor and client. This relationship is the MOST important aspect of effective counseling. Trust your gut during your initial phone consultation with a prospective therapist. If you are going to share your deepest secrets and fears with the counselor, then you need to feel comfortable trusting that counselor.

I hope these tips were helpful for you in making a decision about counseling. If you are watching this, I would be honored to be your therapist. My office is located in Peachtree Corners. If you live in GA, also offer Skype sessions for clients who cannot easily make it to my office. I hope to hear from you soon! But, most importantly, I hope you find the right counselor for you to get the help you need. Have a good day!

Perspective --- Are you Closed-Minded?

9/17/2016

1 Comment

Have you dismissed someone's idea or opinion because you KNOW you are right? Sure, we all have. Sometimes, there is a right answer: 2 + 2 (always) = 4. But other times, more than one opinion, or perspective, can also be correct: What color is the sky? Answers vary.

Grand Canyon: See the river? See the blue dot? That is an opened umbrella between the top and the river. Looks different from distance, than holding it, right? It's still an umbrella.

So, why is it human nature to need to be right? What reward does it give the individual?
