Times: Day and late evening hours – Yes!

I meet with clients Monday-Friday, 11 am to 11 pm.

A big plus: my Super Effective almost double-length sessions: the first session is an hour and a half, and sessions after that are 75 minutes (compare this to the standard of 45-52 min). Studies have demonstrated that these longer sessions are highly cost- and time-effective, making them a wise choice for my clients who want to get better faster.

Therapy options include private in-office sessions, as well as phone-based, home-based (+$80 travel fee), email-based, and “Walk & Talk” therapy at the beach, which is a block away.

How does it work? We generally meet once per week for a few weeks, depending on the situation and goals. In a crisis, it can be a good idea to meet more frequently, even daily. As things progress, we may decide to space out sessions to every 2 or 3 weeks. Most commonly, people meet with me for about 4 sessions for such goals as premarital, life enhancement, and pre-parental counseling. For couples seeking better communication and emotional connection, as well as having some issues to address and heal, 8 weeks is typical. For those seeking deeper or complex healing or multiple goals, 12 weeks or more may be ideal.

Many people work with me through one phase of life, such as premarital, and then return for refreshers, or to address new life phases such as becoming parents, retirement, or wanting to explore areas of personal growth. This continuity is extremely rewarding and valuable for my clients, and for me as a therapist.
