Services

I offer a variety of psychotherapy and counseling services customized to meet your needs, as follows:

• Individual, in person, psychotherapy. One hour or one half hour.

• Group psychotherapy.

• Psychotherapy “Intensives”: Two hours focused on to a specific need or circumstance.

• Consultations.

• Telephone psychotherapy.

• Seminars and workshops.

The frequency of your visits usually determined by a discussion that takes place during our initial meeting. In this meeting we will talk about why you are seeking psychotherapy and what you hope to gain from it. Typically, people arrange to meet every week or every other week. Other options may include meeting more or less frequently, sessions of a greater or lesser length than the average 50-minute session, and group psychotherapy.

Fees

Individual, 50 minute session - $145.

Individual, half  hour session – $75.

Couples, 50-minute session – $145.

Fees are due in full when services are rendered.

Cancellation Policy

I ask for 24-hour advance notice of cancellation, as I have reserved your time specifically for you. This gives me an opportunity to fill the time, if possible. The fee for sessions canceled or missed with less than 24 hour notice is the full fee for the session.

Insurance

Insurance that provides out-of-network benefits will provide coverage for my services. I can provide you with a monthly invoice to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

I do not participate in any managed care panels. If you intend to use your insurance for therapy and coverage is critically important to you, you should confirm your coverage for my services prior to our first meeting.

For your protection and confidentiality I recommend that, if possible, you pay for your psychotherapy without using insurance. Insurance companies require me to disclose highly personal information about you, the confidentiality and privacy of which cannot be guaranteed. They also often restrict the number of sessions they will authorize alone, even if you and I feel you still need help.

Training and Consultation

I offer training groups and workshops on a variety of subjects, including stress management, self-esteem, counter-transference (for professionals) and adoption issues. I enjoy teaching the principles of healing to others.

Some of the workshops and seminars I have presented/co-presented are as follows:

• Dealing with Difficult People

• Stress Reduction and Relaxation

• Self-Esteem: Believing Your Self Worth

• The Spirited Body: Embodying Your Spirit Through Life Transitions

• Exploring the Experience of Being Adopted

• The Healing Power of Animals

• Lawyers and Emotions

• Work/Life Balance

• Countertransference: Using Your Body Reactions to Understand Your Client (For mental health professionals)
