Do you offer Individual, Couples, Family Therapy, or Group?

I offer individual therapy services for clients ages 18 and older. I also offer an online support group for Grief Group Therapy for adults aged 18 - 37 years old.

If you offer online telemental health services, can I live anywhere and still schedule therapy with you?

No. Online, telehealth counseling, services are only offered to clients anywhere in the state of Florida. This is due to the legal requirements of the state that therapists are licensed in. I serve all Florida residents. This includes all major cities in Florida, but not limited to Orlando, Tampa, Gainesville, Tallahassee, Boca Raton, Miami, Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Delray Beach, Palm Beach, Jupiter, Jacksonville, Naples, etc.

How do I access my online counseling session?

Counseling services in Florida are offered online via a confidential HIPAA compliant platform. You don’t need to download any software. All you need is access to wifi or an internet connection using a phone, computer, or tablet. I will provide you the link after scheduling.

How long are sessions?

Counseling sessions are 50 minutes in duration.

What benefits can I expect from ACT therapy?

Therapy services help clients minimize stress levels, boost self-regulation, increase self-confidence, and develop satisfying relationships. My compassionate, client-centered, holistic approach to counseling helps individuals develop the emotional resilience and personal strength necessary to nurture secure and fulfilling relationships with themself and others.

Do you accept Insurance?

Insurance is accepted based on each therapist. Ashley Gersh, LMHC currently accepts Aetna, United Healthcare, Oxford, Cigna, Oscar Health, and Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Jersey (Virtual Network). If we do not accept your insurance we can provide you with a Superbill for you to submit the claim to your insurance.

*Please note my self-pay rate is $200 / 50 minute session, with a limited availability of sliding scale slots, and I am in the process of de-paneling from insurances as insurance interrupts treatment in 4 major ways:

1. They require a diagnosis in the first 50 mins

2. That diagnosis follows you forever

3. Insurance can read session notes at anytime - HIPAA violation

4. That diagnosis can impact clients from receiving a life insurance policy

Can you be on my Collaborative Divorce Team as a Mental Health Professional (MHP) Neutral and also my therapist?

No. The intent of the professionals on the Collaborative Divorce Team is to serve as your neutral professionals. Becoming either one or both of the client’s therapist would deter from the neutrality of the team and is advised against. For example, if the parenting plan needs to be revised a year later, but the MHP has been assisting one of the client’s as their individual therapist, then the neutrality of their services has ceased.
