In-Person
Counseling
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I
work with individuals and couples, assisting them in working through issues that are acting as barriers in life.
My theoretical orientation is cognitive and my approach
is humanistic insofar as I respect each person's spiritual perspective and unique quest for meaning and purpose in life.
As a counselor and hypnotherapist, I would like to help
you find solutions to the issues that are keeping you from being all you can be.
Counseling is an excellent helping modality for acquiring
new, effective life coping skills and enhancing your relationship with yourself as well as with others.
Telephone Counseling
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with clients in my office. However,
to meet the needs of adults who desire more flexibility and privacy, I regularly provide telephone counseling services.
Phone counseling is convenient and is even more confidential than when meeting
in an office.
By using phone counseling services, you are able to schedule an appointment at a time
that suits you,
you choose where you are during the session and it doesn't matter where you are in
the United States.
Telephone counseling provides the uiltimate in privacy.
Because I call you at the time of your appontment, there is no telephone charge
unless I call your cell phone (since I use Verizon, if you have a Verizon account, the phone call will not use any
of your account minutes).
Payment for telephone therapy services is made in advance either by personal
check on a US account sent at least seven days before the appointment
I use both solution-focused and cognitive therapy approaches and work with adults.
In addition to being licensed by the State of Michigan in counseling, I have an earned doctorate in sociology of the family
and am a trained educator. My varied education as well as my many years of experience allow me to provide efficient,
professional telephone counseling services to my clients.
Compensation
Our first contact, lasting 10 - 15 minutes is free. At that time we will discuss
what is concerning you, you'll determine if you want to work together and we will schedule your first telephone counseling
session.
The fee for phone counseling services is
$80 for 55 minutes and $40 for 25 minutes.
