     
Individual Psychotherapy
I offer sessions of individual psychotherapy in both of my offices. The
sessions include whatever I think, and we agree, might be helpful -- from
talking to neurofeedback. Unless you have a strong resistance to it (and we
would talk about why that is, and why you're seeing me!), I teach everyone EFT,
since it is such a great tool for everyone.
Most sessions are an hour, though sometimes we might agree to meet for 90 minutes
or longer if we're covering a lot of ground or you're driving a long way.
My hourly rate is $110 an hour, payable at the end of the session.
I'm a Blue Cross / Blue Shield provider, so if you have them for insurance,
then you would pay me your co-pay and I do the filing. It's helpful if you
find out ahead of time what your co-pay is, because it can range from $9 -- $55.
If you have other kinds of insurance, then you pay me, I give you a form with
all the necessary numbers on it, you file, and the insurance company pays you.
Couples counseling
When I work with couples the sessions are usually 90 minutes, and I charge
$150 per session. Insurance may cover some or most of this.
I have some assumptions embedded in my work with couples. The most important
ones are that each person is 100% responsible for their part of the relationship (responses,
thoughts, feelings, etc), and that the only possible solution to any problem is
one where everyone wins.
Another one is related to the idea of patterns -- we are with the partners
we're with for very important reasons, and understanding and appreciating those
reasons is the gateway to healing. I've found over the years that couples often
have very similar issues going on underneath the surface -- which is why people
are attracted to each other in the first place -- but that it might not look
that way because they're coming at it from different directions or have
different ways of responding to it. Discovering what your common issues are is
very helpful, because then you can be real allies in healing.
Groups
I love doing groups. There is an alchemy in a group, especially when you add
in energy psychotherapy techniques, that makes the group energy greater than the
sum of its individual parts. A lot happens, and it's often a lot of fun, too.
I've found that it's useful to do time-limited groups around particular
issues -- check out the Announcements page for the latest schedule of upcoming
events.
Groups are for 90 -- 120 minutes, and run $45 - $60 per session. They're an
economical way of getting help moving through issues that can be complicated and
frustrating (like weight loss and other issues). Plus, you get to receive and offer
support to some pretty wonderful people.
Payment for groups are made at the beginning of the month, for that month.
Insurance may cover some or most of the fee.
Workshops and Trainings
Periodically I conduct half-day, all-day, or weekend-long workshops and
trainings in the area of energy psychotherapy. Please
contact me if you're
interested in an intensive workshop or training.
