MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING
What is Mental Health Counseling?
At The Sonatina Center, our Mental Health Counselor brings a unique dual expertise — integrating creative arts into every session while also providing the full scope of clinical mental health services. That means in addition to music and art-based approaches, Kathryn can diagnose and treat mental illnesses, administer psychological assessments, screen for suicidality, and offer psychoeducation on psychological disorders to clients and families.
If you're wondering whether music therapy or counseling is the right fit for your child, we're happy to talk it through during your free consultation.
Getting Started is Free
All prospective and new clients of The Sonatina Center will begin the intake process with a free thirty (30) minute phone consultation. Our Intake Coordinator will review our process and policies with you and gather information to determine if mental health counseling may be a good fit. The phone consultation serves as an opportunity for you to ask questions about services and gain a deeper understanding of the counseling process.
MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING SESSIONS
Individual counseling sessions are 50 minutes at $150/session, provided at The Sonatina Center in Dover, NH. We currently offer mental health counseling for children ages 4–10.
New clients begin with a 90-minute intake session ($200) where your therapist will gather information, complete an initial assessment, determine diagnosis, and review treatment goals with you. For children, this may be split into a 60-minute in-person session and a 30-minute follow-up phone call with the caregiver.
Progress and treatment goals are reviewed every 90 days or as needed.
