Services
Assessment and Psychotherapy
I provide psychological services including assessment and psychotherapy for individual clients. Psychological evaluations are offered on a case by case basis depending on the nature of the referral question. Collateral contact with family members (as appropriate) and other providers is also extended to facilitate treatment progress and to coordinate care.
My therapeutic approach is a collaborative one, in which clients are involved in decision-making regarding treatment goals and course. My treatment style has been described as calm, warm, empathic and nonjudgmental. Within an atmosphere of respect and collaboration, I help my clients discover and make effective use of inner and outer resources, so that they may engage in meaningful life experiences.
I use a variety of therapeutic and personal growth approaches to design a custom treatment plan appropriate to the unique needs of the client. These may include strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic approaches, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) among others.
*Fees for intake/consultation may need to be negotiated, with the client’s consent, to reflect added time for reviewing and gathering pertinent clinical information.
** Fees for forensic services are generally defined in a Retainer Agreement which includes a summary of the services provided.
Medicare Clients: When Medicare benefits are utilized at the client’s request, the cost of services will be the Medicare allowed amount. Please note that Medicare does not pay their full-allowed amount, and a co-pay, supplemental insurance, or both may be required.
Clinical Consultation
I offer clinical consultation services to other clinicians, assisting in clinical assessment, identification of problem areas, designing treatment strategies, and evaluating the efficacy of these. I also offer support with respect to the impact psychotherapy often has on both the client and the clinician. I help fellow clinicians manage the reactions associated with treatment activities, facilitating greater understanding and empowering clinicians to do their best work.
My fees for consultation services are determined by taking into consideration factors such as the needs, purpose, and goals of the consultation.
