In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you choose to pay through insurance, call your insurance company and ask for a list of providers. Some insurance companies offer a full list of providers in your area online. Don't just look at the top three choices, look the list over extensively. Then, ask friends or family if they know of anyone on the list that they recommend. Make a decision whether you prefer to pay through insurance or out of pocket before beginning counseling. Accepted forms of payment will vary among counselors. Assess whether education level matters to you and whether you think it will affect your counseling experience. Many professionals are qualified to offer counseling services, and it can be a little confusing to decipher different titles in mental health. Some providers hold a doctorate (such as Ph.D. and Psy.D.), meaning they received extensive schooling (five+ years) in mental health and most likely conducted in research. Other professionals hold a Master's degree (like licensed social workers, licensed professional counselors, and marriage and family therapists), who typically receive two to three years of post-university education. Some psychiatrists (medical doctors) also offer counseling, although they are trained specifically to manage medications. If you are seeking help for substance abuse, then you can see a substance abuse counselor. They may not hold a degree, but they have gone through training and are qualified to offer counseling. All of the above are qualified to offer counseling if they offer it. Make sure the counselor is licensed within the state which you live, and that they are in good standing with the state regulatory board. You can also check for complaints against the counselor through the state regulatory board, which differs by state and can be found online through a search engine. Ask your friends and family if they've had a good experience with a counselor. Ask your general practitioner or family doctor for recommendations. If you're moving to a new city, ask your current counselor for referrals, or have her check with colleagues Call a large clinic and ask the receptionist for recommendations based on what you're seeking. Receptionists know their counselors well and can match you with a counselor. They also know what insurance each counselor takes, and can tell you whether sessions would be covered by insurance. If you are a student, many colleges and universities offer counseling to students for free. Ask your university healthcare provider to refer you to a counselor, or go to the mental health center at your college to inquire about obtaining counseling.
Summary: Contact your insurance. Look at experience. Check licensure. Ask for recommendations. Call a large clinic for recommendations. Use a university counselor.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Look for seed pods near the center of large leaf clusters. When you find them, snip them below the stem using a pair of sharp pruning shears. Be sure to dispose of the seed pods where they won't come into contact with the soil. Handle the seed pods carefully to keep them from splitting open accidentally. If the seed pods are allowed to reach maturity, they'll eventually fall off and scatter tiny seeds all over your yard or garden. This could leave you with a small forest of unwanted Rose of Sharon plants. As Rose of Sharon grows, it has a tendency to expand upwards rather than outwards. You can solve this problem by focusing on branches that protrude well beyond the others at the upper sections of the shrub. To ensure that your plant looks its best, cut it into a shallow 'V' shape or gently round it off at the top rather than hacking it straight across. For a more natural appearance, trim the individual branches so that they're slightly different heights. If left untended, an average-sized Rose of Sharon can grow to heights of up to 812 feet (2.43.7m). Trim excess growth from the bottom and sides of your shrubs to make them a better fit for the area in which they're situated. Remember, you can trim up to two-thirds of the plant's overall size without harming it, so don't be afraid to get heavy-handed if necessary. Strategic shaping can make thriving plants that are outgrowing their plots, blocking off walkways, or overtaking neighboring species more manageable. Any flowering branches you cut will soon rebloom come the start of the next growing season. Identify the point at the base of the shrub where the largest lower branches intersect. Then, use your loppers or pruning saw to take off all smaller branches around it up to about half the height of the new trunk. When you're finished, the once-bushy shrub will have a neat, upright form similar to a Crape myrtle or Japanese maple. Remove new offshoots on the central branch as soon as they begin popping up to preserve the plant's new shape. While Rose of Sharon is technically a flowering shrub, many gardening enthusiasts prefer to raise them as small trees, which makes them easier to maintain. Giving your Rose of Sharon a tree shape can be useful if space in your yard or garden is at a premium and you don't have room for a full-sized shrub.
Summary: Remove developing seed pods before they open. Reduce the plant's height. Shape your Rose of Sharon to its environment. Prune your shrubs into a tree shape.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In the spring or early summer, start looking for plants that have plenty of new growth. You'll want to take cuttings from these plants because there will be a few different stems for you to pick from. New growth is generally easier to propagate than older growth because it has more "growing" cells that are reproducing rapidly. If you're just starting your garden and don't have any stock plants, visit a local nursery and ask if you'd be able to take a few cuttings of larger plants. Most of the time they'll let you if you take a small amount. If you have friends, family, or neighbors growing the types of plants you want to propagate, you can always ask them for cuttings, too. Be very careful when transporting your cuttings. Place them in a plastic bag with a few drops of water or wrap the ends in a damp paper towel. Then put the bag in a box to prevent any bumping or crushing of the nodes. The plant should be large and healthy, so that cutting off a small amount won't cause it to die. It should also be free from pests, and non-flowering during the time of year that you're taking your cuttings. It's best to gather cuttings earlier in the morning when the plants are full of water. It will make it easier to cut and they'll be more likely to maintain their water when propagated.
Summary:
Survey your garden for potential stock or "mother" plants. Visit a nursery if you don't currently have a garden. Select a stock plant to cut from.
