What is Personal Counseling vs Group Therapy?
Personal Counseling is one on one therapy . The client would meet directly with the counselor to receive personal counseling or coaching on personal issues (anxiety, depression, divorce issues, etc). Group Counseing is where a small group would meet together to receive counseling and support from not only the counselor but each other.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a confidential, voluntary process in which a neutral person assists disputing parties to address their areas of concern and help them dialogue in order to create a mutually satisfying resolution.
Why Mediation Versus Litigation?
Mediation is cost effective and takes a lot less time than litigation. The parties involved have the power to create an agreement that meets their needs and resolves their dispute instead of a judge or jury making the decision. However, mediation does not remove a person's right to take an issue before the court.
What is the process of mediation?
At the beginning of mediation, the parties will go over the guidelines of mediation and cover any ground rules. Both parties will give their perspectives and then the mediator (neutral) will work with both sides to reach a resolution. Once an agreement is reached, an agreement can be written. If an agreement is not reached (Impasse), the parties can decide their next plan of action.
How much does mediation or counseling cost?
The standard cost of mediation is $150-$300 an hour. Jessalyn can offer you a "low cost" hourly rate of $200 with a 2 hour minimum. There is a cancellation charge of $250 if the appointment is not cancelled within 48 hours or there is a "no-show."
Personal Counseling costs range from $65 an hour to $100 depending on the client or group.
