Psychotherapy

We offer face-to-face and online individual and family counseling and psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults.

If you are interested in personal well-being and improved relationships, contact us. It is our belief that, regardless of one's current situation, problems can be overcome, self-awareness can be gained, and relationships can be improved.

When you contact us, you can expect to deal with a caring and qualified professional who will lend you an ear and create a safe space for you to explore, learn, and grow.

We use a variety of techniques, including traditional 'talk therapy' (such as Rational Emotive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy), and Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy and Art Therapy with younger clients.

Appointments

Face-to-face counseling sessions are by appointment only. We conduct sessions in-office, in-home, and in the community. To schedule an appointment, contact us.

Online counseling sessions and e-mail consultation, via LivePerson, are generally initially unscheduled and on an as-available basis, unless prior arrangements have been made. Use the link below to contact us online.

Subsequent session are usually scheduled for 50-minutes, often on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. The frequency of sessions may change because of indications that more or less sessions would better facilitate your goals.

Full fees for a 50-minute session are $75. We also offer sliding-scale reduced-fee sessions in some cases, and pro bono services in a few cases.
