Discretion not Denial Using Mindfulness During the Holidays- Jane McIntosh, MA, CNS, E-RYT 500
Rather than thinking of deprivation, try using your mindfulness as a guide to navigate the holidays.
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting many people’s physical health and is taking also impacting the mental health of many as well. Because your health and wellness is our priority at In Touch Counseling Services, we are continuing to offer services in the office as well as offering telehealth via our secure video platform and phone sessions. We understand that COVID-19 cases continue to rise, so we continue to take safety measures including masks and hand sanitizer. Please reach out if you are struggling.
The team at In Touch Counseling Services led by Janelle Adams, MA, LMFT, ATR, strives to give each and every one of their patients the high-quality, supportive, personalized care they need to thrive. At their comfortable office in Vancouver, Washington, they serve people of all ages with leading mental health treatments and caring therapy.
When people choose In Touch Counseling Services, they choose a team that takes a collaborative, holistic approach. The staff knows that care isn’t applied in a vacuum. They take the time to get to know their patients so they can offer personalized treatments and services that best align with the individual’s wants and needs.
The In Touch Counseling Services staff has extensive experience helping people lead healthy, happy lives. They treat mental health conditions like depression and anxiety and work with people who are dealing with trauma. They work to create a space where everyone feels safe, heard, and encouraged, including their LGBTQ counseling and child therapy patients.
The team blends counseling services that most patients expect — like marriage counseling — with less commonly applied but equally important wellness care like nutritional consultations. Their goal is to help people lead their healthiest lives, mentally and physically.
To help people do exactly that, they combine ancient healing techniques like acupuncture, integrative treatments like art therapy, and technologically advanced care like Alpha-Stim® cranial electrotherapy stimulation and Spire Stone, a wearable stress tracking device. They personalize care to each patient, blending the right therapy, treatments, and services for them.

We will check your eligibility and benefits prior to your first appointment. We will also get preauthorization for you if that is required by your plan, however each insurance plan is different and trying to determine exactly what your plan will cover can be tricky. The information provided to us by your insurance carrier is not a guarantee of payment. It is the patient’s responsibility to be informed by their health plan as to their level of coverage. * Using your medical insurance for counseling has some risks involved. In order to use your medical insurance for counseling, you must be given a mental disorder diagnosis and that diagnosis will become a part of your permanent medical record. Having a mental diagnosis on your record may carry long-term implications and may hinder you from being able to obtain life insurance, disability or health insurance in the future. Additionally, filing an insurance claim means your diagnosis, dates of service, etc., are no longer totally confidential, and your insurance company will be aware of your treatment and diagnosis.
