Yes, I do! I know that life happens and it can be very challenging to get to an office for counseling. I offer video and telephone counseling to help counseling fit into your busy and hectic life. If you’re interested in this type of counseling, I am happy to discuss it with you to determine if it would be a good fit for your needs. My clients who are seen via video counseling report it as being as good as being in the office and get the same, excellent results!
Video Counseling services are provided by VSee, HIPAA-compliant platform developed specifically for the purpose of connecting clients and providers. This platform is used by many doctors and even by NASA on the International Space Station.
I require that all cancellations or requests to reschedule an appointment have at least 48 hours advanced notice. If you do not cancel or request a rescheduled appointment at least 48 hours in advance you will be charged the full fee for your appointment. The full fee is the full fee for the session - not your copayment. This is not refundable.
Your appointment time has been reserved just for you. Being late happens at times; however, you are missing important time where we are working on your goals. In order to honor the next person your appointment still must end at the scheduled time, even if you are very late. You are still responsible for the full fee, even if your appointment is shortened due to you being late.
How long your counseling takes depends on what you need. I see some of my clients for just a few sessions and others I see for much longer. Generally, I recommend people plan for at least 10-12 sessions. I strongly recommend weekly sessions as my clients see greater and faster results with that schedule.
Yes, I do. I am a firm believer that the deepest healing comes through Jesus Christ and involving Him in the counseling process can only be beneficial. How we incorporate your faith into counseling will be unique to you. We will discuss how you would like it incorporated and that will determine how interventions or goals are addressed.
No, you do not. While I do believe the deepest healing comes through Jesus Christ, there are many things we can do in counseling that you may find helpful and healing. I will not, at any time, impose my beliefs on you.
The best description comes from the Gottman Institute itself:
“Combining the knowledge and wisdom of nearly forty years of studies and clinical practice, Gottman Method Couples Therapy helps couples break through barriers to achieve greater understanding, connection and intimacy in their relationships. Through research-based interventions and exercises, it is a structured, goal-oriented, scientifically-based therapy. Intervention strategies are based upon empirical data from Dr. Gottman’s study of more than 3,000 couples.
