So that we both can get a feel for how working together might unfold, I offer a free 20 minute initial phone consultation. I find this is the best way to determine whether my therapeutic approach and expertise will match your needs and challenges. It also presents an opportunity for you to gauge your level of comfort in interacting with me. It usually takes a very short amount of time to gain a sense of whether we would work well together.
If you or I believe we are not a good fit based on our phone conversation, I can provide you with treatment referrals.
“It’s not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can’t tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself.”
Joyce Maynard
“In my early professionals years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?” –Carl Rogers,
From On Becoming a Person, 1961
