My Approach & Philosophy

Hello!

I am here to engage in a collaborative experience with teens and adults, utilizing an eclectic approach to provide you with meaningful support and deep care. My approach is intersectional, sex-positive, trauma informed, and centered in a constant pursuit for radical change. I am especially enthusiastic to work with individuals who are of a queer or transgender experience.

I have worked in the realm of mental health in various capacities over the last 16 years, showing up for diverse populations in many settings, with a heavy emphasis on harm reduction, peer support, and navigating crises.

I utilize an eclectic approach in therapy, which means that I draw upon multiple therapeutic modalities, while also leaning heavily on a mix of pop culture, punk rock, graphic novels, fiction, humor, the dance floor, the wilderness, and lived experience to help process your own experiences and shape a path forward.

As a social worker, I am also interested in supporting you in identifying resources in the community and centering the idea that many of the struggles that you are currently experiencing are deeply interconnected with the imperfect social systems and institutions that we all are attempting to navigate on a daily basis.

I am here for you. I am here without judgment, urging you to dig deeper, challenge yourself, push forward and navigate the experience of being human in the 21st century.

HEALING TESTIMONIALS

Stories of Resilience

Every voice matters. These testimonials highlight real experiences of healing, hope, and the strength found in connection.

Ratings:

As a Psych NP in the Lake Norman area, I can’t say enough good things about this practice. I often send my Asheville clients their way. Time and again my clients share how comfortable they felt and how well-matched they were with their therapist.

I was told I would get a meet and great call. I was sent a text with the therapist information/ number they’d be contacting me from. Definitely a little disappointed that I had to wait a month for this meet and greet phone call. When the date came… nothing- no call or text or email. Still haven’t received any response.

Resilient Mind Counseling is an amazing group of people. They are so kind, caring, and really understand what it's like to be ND. They really believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. I cannot recommend them enough.

Highly recommend working with Resilient Mind Counseling. You cannot go wrong with a group led by Patrick Casale, with all he offers the community and extended network of therapists, you are only going to find the best quality services here.

Jennifer Garrett may be one of the most caring, thoughtful and self-less humans I have ever known. She can hold space for you like no other. In that space, you feel safe, heard and supported. I recommend Jennifer and the many other therapists of Resilient Mind Counseling.

Frequently Asked Fee
& Insurance Questions

We accept payment through a HIPAA compliant payment processing software.
This ensures that your financial information remains encrypted and protected.

How Do I Discover What My Insurance Will Cover?

To find out what your insurance may cover, contact your insurance and ask if you have out-of-network mental health coverage.

You may also want to mention the type of license that I have to ensure services with my type of credential are covered.

Other things you may want to ask about are:

What your deductible is
What your co-insurance payment will be
How many visits you get per year
If you need authorization for your visits
Details on how to submit a superbill

Contact me if you would like more guidance on how to figure out what your insurance will cover.

What is the Good Faith Estimate?

Every client will receive a Good Faith Estimate. The Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill.

The Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and therefore does not require you to obtain the items or services provided by Resilient Mind Counseling PLLC. The foundation of a good therapeutic relationship between a client and therapist is the client’s right to autonomy and self-determination. Therefore, you (as the client) have the right to terminate services at any time.

If you are billed for more than the Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.

You may contact the health care provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can ask them to update the bill to match the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available.

You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date on the original bill.

There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on the Good Faith Estimate. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount.

To learn more about disputes and get a form to start the process, go to www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or the dispute process, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.

What If I Don’t Have The Insurance You Accept? Can I Still Work With My Insurance?

We can provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.

What Is Your Cancellation Policy?

To cancel a scheduled Counseling session, a minimum of 24 hours in advance of your session is required. If prior and timely notification is not given, you will be charged the full session fee for the missed session.
