Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

I believe that my role is that of a collaborator a guide who can show the map and guide you to the directions with less obstacles and dangers. I know the territory, and the map is not the territory. I can't travel for you but I am available to check back with anytime necessary as if you had a phone that you could keep your sense of direction with. I do not put myself in an authority position in many ways I am a "fellow traveler" but one with expert experience and training. My job is to teach how to fish not give a fish, creating dependency is not what I do, I help people find the answers they already have, I help create confidence and help with acknowledgment of their own strengths. I also believe that whatever you avoid facing in life, will wait for you only it gets bigger.

 

More Info About My Practice

My fee is a sliding fee, and payment is at the end of each session. I do not work with insurances directly. I will give you the insurance invoice noting the services are paid in full and the company reimburses you. I need the standard 24hours for cancellation, and if there is a same day issue, I wont charge if the session is made up that week. I am available by cell phone, especially in cases of early recovery where urges need some assistance.
