TOENEY FLOWERS

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nearly twenty years of counseling experience to include working with: individuals, children, teens, and families of various cultural backgrounds; children and families from communities of color with generational trauma/racial oppression; families/individuals impacted by the child welfare system; teen and families impacted by the criminal justice system, children/teens with behavioral problems; and individuals seeking support around anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions/stressors, and trauma.

I assist individuals and families with understanding and processing identified challenges/barriers and building on their strengths to develop coping skills to improve life experiences. My counseling approach is sensitive, empathetic, holistic, and client-centered; it is tailored to meet your specific therapeutic needs and to help you accomplish your goals. If you are seeking culturally responsive, respectful, and professional therapy, I welcome the opportunity to assist you on your therapeutic journey.

I utilize an anti-racist/anti-oppressive approach and have training in Trauma Informed Care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Brief Solution Focus Therapy (BSFT) and Collaborative Problem Solving. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree (BS) in Sociology from the University of Oregon and my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Portland State University; I am also licensed by the Oregon Board of Clinical Social Workers.

Outside of work, I have two amazing children, love to work out, go for long walks, study history, write poetry and listen to music. I also enjoy traveling and exploring the diversity the community and society offers in all aspects.

Children & Teens

Nspire Services provides counseling for children (ages 6-12) and teens. For children, childhood trauma can stem from divorce, abuse, serious accidents, witnessing drug or alcohol abuse, or suffering physical abuse-counseling can assist with creating a secure attachment with their parent/caregiver. For children and teens, counseling helps to overcome loss or trauma, help with identity, build self-esteem, increase coping skills (regarding mental health symptomologies) and improve behavioral problems, emotional regulation and emotional vocabulary.

If your insurance company is not listed above, in most cases, we may be able to work with your insurance company as an out-of-network provider. However, please contact your insurance company – “member services” to learn about your benefits. Here are some helpful questions to ask upon contacting member services:

• Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
• Is the therapist I want to see on your preferred provider list?
• If not, what is the coverage for out-of-network providers?
• What is my deductible and has it been met for the year?
• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover with this     therapist?
• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
• How much will I be responsible to pay at each therapy session?
• Is approval or preauthorization required before I make an appointment?

Fees:

Individual sessions are $175 – for sessions that exceed 90 minutes, the fee is $185. All family sessions are $185 per session. Nspire Services also offers a sliding scale for those who qualify. Please ask about this option when scheduling your intake appointment.

Payment:

Session fee is due at the time of service in the form of cash, credit/debit, or Health Savings Account (HSA). If using insurance, you (client) are responsible for your deductible (if any) and co-payment at the time of your session unless other arrangements have been made.

Cancellation/Reschedule:

When you (client) make an appointment, the scheduled time is reserved for you exclusively. Preparation for each appointment includes reviewing your paperwork, researching your questions, and creating an individually tailored approach in order to provide you with the best care possible.

Therefore, Nspire Services has a minimum 24-hour cancellation/reschedule policy. For example, if your appointment is scheduled for Monday at 10 a.m., you must cancel the appointment no later than 10 a.m. the Sunday before the appointment. If the appointment is on Wednesday at 2 p.m., it must be cancelled no later than Tuesday at 2 p.m. We understand that emergencies occur, and we will do our best to make exceptions. Please let us know if you are unable to make your scheduled appointment so that we may contact others who are waiting for an appointment.

No Show:

A scheduled appointment is considered a “No Show” if you arrive 15 or more minutes late for an in-person therapy appointment or 10 or more minutes late for a Telehealth (video/phone call) appointment.  It is the therapist’s discretion whether they will still be able to meet with you.

If you are a new client with a scheduled first-time appointment who cancels or no-shows twice in a row, the therapist reserves the right to decline and will not, in most cases, reschedule any future appointments.

If you (client) do not provide the minimum 24-hr cancel/reschedule notice, or if you no-show for a scheduled appointment, no fee will be assessed on the first occurrence. However, you will be charged a $75.00 fee for any future occurrences. Please note, insurance companies will not pay this fee (This fee does not apply to those using Medicare, Medicaid, or Oregon Health Plan (OHP).

Discontinuation of Services:

If you do not provide the minimum 24-hour notice or do not show for three or more scheduled appointments in a row, and/or after three consecutive attempts to reach out to you have yielded no response, it is the policy of Nspire Services to close the case and discontinue services. If you would like to re-engage in services in the future, please contact our office to discuss moving forward.  Said rules apply in person or via telehealth.
