A KEY QUESTION FROM ME TO YOU
Are we a good match for each other?
There are many therapists available and you need to find one that fits well with you. Here are two clues to my value system:
I work with a faith-based approach. That means that I believe that God is present in our lives and in our sessions.
I believe that natural remedies, such as essential oils and homeopathic products, are good options to deal with emotional problems, perhaps doing more than pharmaceutical drugs.
Details
When
All clients are seen by appointments only. My working hours range from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m, Monday – Friday. Generally, the first available appointment is two – three weeks out. I also do Zoom appointments if distance is an issue. A missed session fee is charged (not covered by insurance) when someone has scheduled an appointment and does not contact me within 48 hours to cancel.
Cost
I am no longer taking insurances. I charge clients a fee depending on their ability to pay. The sliding scale fee ranges from $70 - $125 and is agreed upon at the time the appointment is scheduled. If financial need is an issue, you may discuss that with me.
What
Please review the website, which explains what you can expect. Most clients are seen at least four times. Goals will be discussed and agreed upon by the third session. If a recurrent session is recommended, it will occur every other week or once a month, until the problem has been resolved. The average client is seen for eight to fifteen sessions. When the goals have been achieved, the client completes a discharge form, and “graduates.”
Where
I work out of my home at 81 North Main St., (Rt. 63), on the west side of the road, across from the Oakfield Community Bible Church. My home is called “The House of Grace”, and is the only white house with yellow shutters. Please park on the road or in the church parking lot, and walk up the driveway. Ring the bell at my rear entrance and come on in!
