Phone Counseling
Telephone counseling is effective for many people, as
demonstrated by research, and in my experience as a counselor.
A primary advantage
is convenience & accessibility.
I offer the same
professional service over the phone as in my office.
After your initial
consultation to decide if I am the right counselor for you, you can
discover the effectiveness of telephone sessions for yourself. I
look forward to hearing from you!
My Approach
to Counseling
A New
Beginning
I like to start with an initial consultation in order for us to get
to know each other. During the consultation you can share with me
what brings you to counseling, while I explain the theoretical
framework of my approach and answer any questions you have about my
background. We can also complete a minimal amount of paperwork and
discuss fees. I offer flexible fee arrangements so counseling can be
accessible to most people. Our first meeting is about creating
enough safety for the important work to begin.
Confidentiality
Every form of communication with me is completely confidential.
That's it! Plain and simple.
Uniqueness
Every person is unique. Your story, struggle, and creativity are
yours alone, yet they assure your place in the human family. For
counseling to be effective, our work together must be flexible, each
session an original created just for you. I approach each client not
only as unique but also as the real expert about him or herself.
Many clients are relieved to hear that I avoid diagnosis in favor of
putting my attention on your strengths, challenges and experiences.
Counseling
Fees
My work includes individual,
family and group therapy. Sessions are one hour long or
can be scheduled for one-half hour. Telephone sessions are paid
for in advance. You
may prefer to meet in person initially, and then by phone later
for convenience.
I realize
that affording counseling can be difficult for some people,
particularly during a time when one may most need counseling
support. Money problems can accompany other issues and also may
get in the way of seeking help.
The good
news is that issues around money are like any we will get to
address: cleaning up old messes and moving forward to the life
you know is possible. I want to make counseling accessible to
people.
Payment
Payment is expected at the time of
service. You may pay by check, cash, or credit card or by PayPal
if scheduling a telephone session. I also accept most
insurance; check with your provider to see if your policy covers
psychotherapy.

My
Role
My role is to remind you of your true nature and help you
see things in a different light.
I allow and encourage the natural and spontaneous process of
emotional release that occurs when we tell our stories. The
outward signs of this release might include, in addition to
talking, the crying, laughing, trembling, yawning or other
processes that indicate the release of confusion, grief,
embarrassment, fear, pain and anger. Most of us learned
early in life to suppress these emotional processes. I
create the attentiveness and safety necessary for you to
recover from past hurts, fully reclaim your inherent nature,
and begin to apply your unlimited intelligence and
creativity to living the life you always knew was possible.
