The program is based in well established Cognitive-Behavioral and Behavior Modification principles

No, this Anger Management Program is conducted by way of completely confidential virtual telehealth technology which allows both audio and visual contact. It requires you to have access to an internet connected device with a camera, microphone and speaker. Of you cannot access the internet, the program can be done telephonically.

Yes, in most cases it does. Once you have fulfilled the coursework to our satisfaction, we will provide a letter either to you directly or mailed to the court or your attorney (with a copy to you) that confirms you have completed the course and that you are discharged from treatment. In almost every case this will meet a court's requirements. 

It is important, though, to verify with the clerk of court or your attorney that this anger management course will be satisfactory. In some cases the court will determine a minimum number of sessions or a time period within which it's mandate must be fulfilled. If the court requires completion before a future hearing date, it is your responsibility to allow for completion prior to that date.

In many cases a client's health insurance plan will pay for sessions, with client's responsibility limited to any deductible or copayments required by their health plan. Charles Kuhn, LCSW, BCD and Karen Stickel, LCSW, BCD are in-network with almost all insurance plans, except Medicaid. If this anger management program is not covered by insurance or if a client is without coverage the fee, per session, is $80.00. In addition, each client must purchase (in advance of the first session) the program's workbook, available from Amazon or many local bookstores. Payment for the session or any deductibles and copays are paid by credit/debit card at the time services are received. If you cannot pay by credit/debit card, then payment by check can be made, however no future sessions will occur before payment is received.

No. while both Karen Stickel, LCSW, BCD and Charles Kuhn, LCSW, BCD have experience working with the courts, nothing in our program should be construed, in any way, to be legal advice. You must seek advice from a licensed attorney or from the court, itself, if you have legal questions.
