Description of Services
|
| Living one's own life, raising children, or grappling with issues in the
workplace, in academic settings, in the family, or just out in the
world can create stress, anxiety, and suffering. The psychological
services I offer involve both short-term and long-term interventions to
"untie the knots" or remove the psychological roadblocks that prevent
someone from moving forward in his or her life or from continuing to grow
and develop. Integrating a social systems and psychodynamic approach, I
offer both short- and long-term psychotherapy, short-term consultation,
and ongoing "on-call" services. |
|
| When working individually with children, I ask for parents' participation
in parent meetings so that we can collaborate in doing what's best for
their child. The work typically begins with a parent meeting and then
three or more initial sessions with the child to determine the best
treatment plan. |
|
| In working with families of divorce, I offer individual therapy to
children so that they have a "room of their own" to sort out their
experience, co-parenting counseling and consultation to parents, custody
mediation, and developmental consultations. |
|
| My individual work with adults typically involves open-ended psychotherapy
where it is mutually determined by myself and the person seeking services
as to the long-term or short-term nature of the problem and the most
advantageous or feasible frequency of meetings. I also offer consultation
services, when there is a particular problem of focus, such as a specific
concern about one's child and his or her development. |
|
Fees
|
| Typically, a specific ongoing appointment time is established and people
are asked to give 24 hours notice if they need to cancel an
appointment. Less than 24 hours notice results in a charge for the missed
session.
Full fee for service is $165.00, adjusted fees can be arranged on an
individual basis. |
|
| People have the option of paying at the time of session or receiving a
monthly bill at their last session of the month, with payment due by the
first week of the following month. |
