After a brief phone interview I do a one-hour assessment, sometimes split into two. The purpose is to get a sense of whether the client's goals are suitable for phone counselling, to see what is the best way to go about reaching them, and to discuss my thoughts with the client. If the client is able to come to my office for the assessment and meet face to face, that is all to the good. The cost is comparable to in-office sessions. The client does not pay long distance charges.
Payment is by cheque in advance for the assessment session, and monthly in advance after that.
Evening sessions are available for those who need them. If you are interested in telephone counselling, please feel free to e-mail me. It would be useful to give some background, but please keep it to one page.
