When you come to my office, I ask you to keep an open mind whether you've been in therapy before or this is a new beginning. In our world, people often hurt us or don't have the time to hear us. At the same time, we often develop patterns in our daily lives that are detrimental to our own well-being. I offer a non-judgmental environment in which you can discuss your problems confidentially, receive counseling, and begin to work on yourself and your relationships.
I am a licensed mental health counselor with 3 years of post-graduate school experience working with individuals and families with all sorts of challenges. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, self-doubt, managing medications, questions about your relationships, or are receiving counseling elsewhere but would like to supplement it or are looking to make a fresh start, I am here to help you begin the journey of reclaiming the person you want to be, a person you feel good about.

At this time the office of Nicholas Auerbach, LMHC does not accept insurance. If you cannot afford these fees, we can discuss sliding scale fees.
There is no charge for the occasional brief telephone contact (5 minutes or so). The fee for longer calls is $2 per minute.
All insurance companies require information about you that includes, at minimum, a psychiatric diagnosis that becomes a permanent part of your medical record. Managed-care companies often require considerably more information about your therapy. They may also require that we follow their prescribed form of treatment. If at any time in the future you apply for life insurance, disability insurance, or private health coverage, these companies will probably
require you to sign a release to get a copy of your records. You could then be denied coverage, or have to pay more for it. This is one of the main reasons Nicholas Auerbach’s office does not accept insurance.
