Persida Ghibilic, LPC, LBS

My training as a mental health professional has taught me to be highly attuned to individuals' needs, with a strong desire to help my clients overcome life's difficulties. I know asking for help can be challenging, but I aim to build and maintain positive and effective therapeutic relationships built around the confidence and trust of my clients. In over a decade of experience, I have used a variety of approaches to meet my clients needs. I originally relied on cognitive-behavioral therapy, but I now use an eclectic approach, embracing psychoanalytic and existential approaches. I am also a licensed behavior specialist. I work with autism-spectrum clients to implement behavior programs that strengthen their skills and abilities. While in Europe, I gained expertise in progressive body relaxation.

The average cost per session is $80 to $150, and I offer sliding-scale slots. I accept checks and cash, as well as insurance plans including Aetna, Anthem, Bravo Health, Cigna, HealthSpring, High Mark, Humana, Independence, Blue Cross, Magellan Behavioral Health, United out of Network, AmeriHealth, BlueCross and BlueShield, Empire BlueCross, Horizon Healthcare, LifeSynch, Medicaid, ValueOptions.
