Are you confused about how to find the best counselor for
you?
If so, you're in
the right place... so read my letter that
follows...
Hello,
I’m Dr. Mike
Shery. Finding a
counselor can be confusing and frustrating…answering machines, insurance, credentials that look like alphabet
soup etc.…
Of course, quality is an
over-used word but,how SHOULD
people select and find a counselor, psychologist, or psychiatrist?
1. My first suggestion, find a counselor or psychiatrist who demonstrates concern
for your peace of mind... not only in therapy...but also where fees are
concerned!
Where Peace of Mind is Not Just a Slogan-but a
Promise!
A word about fees. I’ve decided to hold the line and I
haven’t raised them in 5 years. Unlike other doctors, we go the EXTRA MILE for you by assuming full
responsibility for receiving insurance authorization and understanding the terms of your
policy.
In fact, to save you from any headaches or unpleasant surprises, we are so careful in communicating
with your insurance company, that as long as you make the correct copayment at each visit...
You'll NEVER have to worry about receiving an unexpected bill from us...regardless of what your
insurance company may do later! We'll deal with them. That's real peace of mind.
No Upsetting Surprises! You won't find this "Peace of Mind Promise" anywhere else! |
2. My next suggestion, find a
counselor or psychiatrist who doesn’t rush. Some doctors seem to push you out the door before you barely get in!
Your therapist should
ask questions that turn on a light bulb in your mind...that “Ah Haa!”
feeling. We
take time to ask important questions and provide advice other therapists don't even consider. Questions about… do you stay...or leave? Or, how well do you communicate anger… Are you living
up to YOUR
expectations...?
3. Patience
is a paramount quality that one wants when trying to find a psychotherapist, psychiatrist
or counselor. The good news is that, in our office, clients often remark that
they've never had someone listen to their concerns so thoroughly.
Also, this field changes
faster than the nightly news.
4. A therapist must attend advanced trainings or s/he will be out of date...AND… so will your therapy.
Frankly, practitioners
often do the minimum because of cuts into relaxation time.
New treatments may appear that better target your needs or achieves your goals
more quickly. In our practice you receive the same advanced techniques that are provided
at Centegra, Alexian Brothers and other hospitals-with MUCH more personal
attention that only a smaller state-of-the-art practice, like ours, can provide.
Also, we participate in
advanced education; psychologists cannot stay on top of important changes if they don't. We use the same proven techniques that are used at the Mayo Clinic,
Menningers, Johns
Hopkins University and The Cleveland Clinic.
These include
state-of-the-art techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy, imaginal
conditioning, somatic therapy… and, yes… even the cognitive and reality-based approaches of Dr.
Phil McGraw you
see on ABC. Each treatment method is skillfully applied to each
client, as appropriate, to get the best results in the shortest period of time.
5. When trying to find a counselor, psychiatrist or
psychologist look for a demonstration of concern.
Our Peace of Mind
Promise is one example of that. Another one is the No Waiting
Policy. Personally, I don't like arriving at the appointed time… then being left to wait, feeling
ignored.
Some complain that
waiting…and excessive paperwork is common practice at the larger commercial
centers like
Centegra Horizons Behavioral Health or Alexian Brothers Behavioral
Health. It's
rude; so… unlike other offices, pts are not scheduled so that I get backed-up.
You should never wait more than 10 minutes.
Also, when you call, you
will talk with me personally. No interference from receptionists.
6. Look for enthusiasm in giving you an
appointment. Run from those who have the "take a number and wait in line"
mentality. Under-staffed and impersonal commercial practices are not concerned about you. They will often tell you
to wait days or weeks for an appointment...without giving it a second thought! We are concerned and show it:
You’ll get an appt with us in just a day or 2.
Appts are also available
in the evenings to
make it easier on your kids and work schedule.
*We are affiliated
with Almost All Insurance Companies...used in this area
and work seamlessly with them to take all the billing headaches off
your shoulders. We do all the paperwork for you; after all,
you already have things to worry about. You just make your small
copay at each visit. Your insurance company takes care of the rest, so... you'll NEVER receive a bill from us! Also,
since most insurance directories are out of date, talk with me personally to determine if we accept your
plan. ODDS ARE…we
do!

the Cary post office at 2615 Three Oaks Rd.
