Counseling
Carolyn Bushong L.P.C.
| I am a Licensed Professional Counselor
who sees clients by appointment only. My office hours are Noon
to 7PM Monday through Thursday. I require a credit card number
(with expiration date) to schedule an appointment with you.
All appointments must be paid for on the date of the appointment
(even if you have insurance.) |
Health Insurance Coverage
| Your health insurance may cover $50.00
or $60.00 of my fee if it's a PPO, and HMO's do not cover me.
Even if you have insurance you must pay for all appointments
up front, then I'll file your claim so you can be reimbursed.
I'll check your insurance in advance if you fax a copy of both
sides of your insurance card to 303-333-1889 |
Cancellations
| Cancellations must be made
twenty-four (24) hours in advance for any refund. |

NEW
THERAPY REFERRAL SOURCE: Although I would love
to have you all as clients, I also try to make available other
options for you. Even though most of you receive some reimbursement
from your insurance company for my services (if they pay out-of-network
providers), I know that many of you can’t afford my
fees and you want to be able to pay only a co-pay to see a
therapist. This is why I’m working with a new referral
service called Westside Behavioral Care. They are a referral
source to a group of therapists who will take your insurance
directly, and you just have to pay the co-pay. They are a
mental health practice with over 30 locations that serve adults,
children, adolescents, couples and families in the Denver-Boulder
metropolitan area. You can call them in a crisis and usually
get immediate appointments, even on evenings and weekends.
To make an appointment or find out more about their services,
call: 1-877-435-2017.

I will answer your
e-mail
questions for a flat rate of $80. Here are the guidelines:
Questions should be not more than 100 words in length. Response
time will vary depending on my availability--anywhere from
one to seven days. In order for you to receive a reply, we
need your credit card number and expiration date when you
send your e-mail question.

Counseling by Phone
Phone counseling
is set up the same as if you were coming to my office in Denver,
except that you call in instead. Appointments must be booked
in advance by calling 1-800-548-1888, and be paid for with
a credit card at the time of booking. The number to call
the day of the appointment is 303-333-1889. You may use the
number 1-800-548-1888 to book the appointment, but you must
pay the phone charges during the actual appointment.
(Note:
This phone line, 303-333-1889, is a phone client and fax ine.
If you call anytime except for your scheduled appointment,
you will hear the fax beep.)
Cancellations must be made twenty-four
(24) hours in advance for any refund.

Question:
I've been married three years and cheated on
my husband once ...two years ago. It was a sexual encounter (I was drunk
and I haven't been able to tell him or get over it. Should I go on living
with this or go to my church? I am a bit old-fashioned and feel like
I have really sinned.
Answer:
Stop punishing yourself. Though
I'm not condoning your behavior, it's time to get past this mistake
and forgive yourself. Though you blame the indiscretion on getting drunk,
there is probably more to it than that. It's common for a woman to feel
anger at her spouse and "act it out" by cheating. Think back to what
was going on at that time in your marriage. Were you angry or upset
about something? Try to connect any feeling you had at the time to your
behavior. Showing self-understanding and self-tolerance, try to prepare
a defense for yourself--as if you would be presenting it to your husband.
See if you can convince yourself that you're not a bad person without
confessing to him or the church. If not, then give him your well-thought-out
presentation, explaining what happened and why and how much you care
about him. Expect him to be angry, but don't allow him to badger or
punish you. Tell him how you would handle it differently if it happened
today. Then you should be able to let it go!
