To schedule an individual therapy appointment or to obtain additional information about any of these counseling services, please give me a call. You can then briefly speak with me over the phone for more information and if interested, schedule a Two-Session Confidential Heart to Heart Check-up. A fee for this personal "Check-up" will be discussed at the time of your telephone call. For more info re this Checkup, see below:
- Recent mood change or behaving differently than usual
- Ongoing anger/rage and/or grief over a recent change or situation?
- A chronic life threatening illness?
- Major changes in sleep?
- Change in overall health, e.g., unexplained aches or pains?
- Much difficulty explaining needs or feelings?
- Problems with important relationships?
- Thoughts of suicide?;
- Difficulties in remembering or concentrating?
- Use alcohol, drugs or prescription medications in excess and/or when not "intending" to?
- Ongoing anxiety and/or depression?
- Lost interest in things which were once meaningful?
- Experiencing a highly stressful time or event?
- Continued diminished energy level with explanation?
- Repeat actions not leading to desired changes?
- Involved in an abusive relationship?
Anyone who answers "yes" to one or more of these questions, each of which evaluates a separate area of emotional functioning, may want to explore a two-session confidential Heart to Heart Check-up.
The following may help the public/consumer better understand the value of a "Second Opinion" in mental health. Some major issues for a "Second Opinion":
- Too long in the same therapy?
- Much insight/understanding in a present or past therapy without any significant behavior change?
- Much unresolved anger/rage with the "therapist"?
- A long stalemate/impasse in current therapy?
- Frequent power struggles with the "therapist"?
- In many different therapies?
- Never been in therapy?
