Services & Fees

I provide online counseling via email exchanges. I also provide telephone sessions.  If you are interested in working with me online via email exchanges, then please see my Client-Counselor Agreement and fill out my online Client Questionnaire. Once you have returned your completed questionnaire to me, I will review it thoroughly and contact you by email within 24-48 hours.  In many cases, I will be able to tell you at that point whether I believe I can be helpful to you. In others, I may need to ask you a few additional questions before making that determination. 

I AM NOW OFFERING A FREE HOUR OF ONLINE COUNSELING. THIS OFFER IS FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. YOUR FREE HOUR WILL START WHEN I BEGIN COMPOSING MY REPLY TO YOU AFTER A THOROUGH REVIEW OF YOUR CLIENT QUESTIONNAIRE.

How to continue working with me after you’ve used up your free hour:
Let me know if you’d like to continue.  We’ll decide together how much time we think is required for the “next step.” Then, you'll pay me in advance for that amount of time. If you feel you cannot afford to pay the full fee, please tell me and we’ll discuss a sliding-scale fee.

Setting up a Telephone Consultation
If you’d like to set up a telephone consultation, you will need to pay for both the long-distance phone call as well as my session fee, since I don’t have a toll-free number.  To schedule a phone session with me, follow the steps I’ve outlined complete in my Client Questionnaire. When you complete it, send me a note requesting a phone session.  If I feel that I can help you, we’ll go ahead and schedule your session after I’ve received payment for it.  My office telephone number is (301)718-0790.

Fees
I charge $90 (US dollars) for each hour of time that I actually spend reading your emails or composing replies to you. The same is true for telephone sessions. If you cannot afford my regular fee, ask me about a sliding-scale fee based on your income and financial situation

Neither online counseling nor telephone sessions are covered at present by health insurance plans. 

Payment Options

Pay me by secure credit card or by secure electronic check

You may pay me by personal check sent via regular mail 

If you would like to take advantage of my FREE
ONE HOUR offer then fill out my Client Questionnaire.
