Effective Communication -- Client-Centered, Results-Oriented
My practice is focused on each client learning, refining and practicing specific skills they can then use to make changes effectively. We don't delve deeply into past difficulties or to probe the why questions behind problems. It's about how the behavior and emotion are generated, and how to change it. The skills taught are based on talents we all have in some measure. It is, therefore, very rapid. Often major changes occur after a single session (usually 2 to 3 hours). Two to five sessions are sufficient to resolve most issues.
...the light bulb has to want to change...
I will not be doing the changes for you, nor will I be forcing, coercing, tricking or manipulating you into some major life changes. If you want that, join a cult. There are many fine cults available.
What I offer is methods that you can use to make changes, you decide to make. Just because your Mom, your spouse or your doctor thinks you should do something doesn't mean you do. If you are ready to make your move, if you want it, and need tools, coaching, methods, motivation, focus, well-formed goals, etc., that is exactly what I do. If you're not sure exactly what you want, but know you want something, I can help with that discovery, too.
I work with one person at a time. I do not work with couples, families, the U.N. or other complex systems. I facilitate growth and change, but I am not a guru. I do not dispense wisdom on issues of religion or other spiritual quest. I work very carefully to adapt my practice to the useful beliefs of each client.
I take major credit cards, checks and cash at the time of service. I do not process health insurance claims, nor do any policies of which I am aware cover this work. Fees are $125. per session, sessions generally lasting at least one hour. This is true both for in-person private sessions and remote sessions via telephone. Brief follow-up phone and email consultations are offered on a case-by-case basis at no cost at this time.
