I work fee for service only. I do not work with managed care, file for or accept insurance. I work one session at a time, At the end of each session, the client and I decide about meeting again. I work primarily short term,in a practical, human problem solving way.
As I do at workshops and in writing, in counseling I have the ability to help people frame psychological issues that are troubling them in ways that illuminate choices for coping with whatever the difficulty is. I am told that I work with them practically, efficiently, and effectively.
