• WHAT TYPE OF COUNSELING DO YOU DO? - MY EMPHASIS IS COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL THERAPY. THIS MEANS THAT WE DISCUSS YOUR THOUGHTS, ACTIONS, AND HOW THEY RELATE TO EACH OTHER. THE WORK IN THERAPY IS GOAL-ORIENTED, MEANING THAT WE WILL WORK WITH SMALL, MEASURABLE GOALS TO ACHIEVE YOUR DESIRED RESULTS.
• WHAT MODES OF THERAPY ARE AVAILABLE? - I AM AVAILABLE TO DO SESSIONS IN MY OFFICE, IN YOUR HOME, OVER THE TELEPHONE, OR ONLINE. IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR PARTICULAR NEEDS ARE AND WHAT YOU ARE COMFORTABLE DOING.
• DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE? - IT MAY BE POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FROM YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY. PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION.
• CAN YOU PRESCRIBE MEDICATION? - NO, ONLY A PSYCHIATRIST (SOMEONE WITH AN M.D.) CAN PRESCRIBE MEDICATION.
• CAN YOU GIVE IQ TESTS? - NO, ONLY PSYCHOLOGISTS (WITH A PHD.) CAN PERFORM THOSE ASSESSMENTS.
• DO YOU WORK WITH CHILDREN? - I WILL WORK INDIVIDUALLY WITH CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 13 (I HAVE EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH ADOLESCENTS AND FAMILIES). I BELIEVE THAT FAMILY SHOULD BE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THERAPY FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13.
