Telephone Counseling
It is difficult for some people to attend in-office sessions due to geographical proximity, busy schedules and other life factors. As a result, I do offer counseling by phone for individuals who otherwise cannot attend an in-office session. I have the right however to assess whether this type of service is appropriate on a person by person basis. Appointments are made in advance and fees will be collected by Visa, MasterCard, and Debit Card or paid in advance.
