Your
office hours? |
Monday-Thursday:
Noon to 9:00 PM
Fridays appointments by arrangement only. |
|
|
|
|
Who do you
see? |
Couples,
individuals and families. |
|
|
|
|
Are
there people you won't see? |
Basically,
we just don't take cases where anyone outside the room has a
stake in or gets a report of what our clients say! That's anyone
referred by the courts or seeking therapy to remedy a legal problem.
Likewise we will not be involved in any child custody or
"fitness" determinations. Sadly for a lot of people
this must also include HMO's and insurance plans. And lastly we do
not see minors without their families. |
|
|
|
|
What
do you charge? |
We are now
charging $75.00 per hour long session. |
|
|
|
|
That
seems like a lot for one hour! |
For some
people it certainly would be. Most of our clients don't think so
however. It would be high for "counseling" but we do
psychotherapy which is more intensive. We are also one of only a
handful of practices who still offer this kind of treatment.
Psychotherapy cost $60 a session in 1980, so you can see we've kept our
fees as low as possible. |

|
How
often do you meet with
someone? |
The usual
scenario is once a week. Meeting more frequently doesn't give
someone enough time to "process" what's going on and
waiting longer than a week usually results in everyone (us included)
forgetting where we were! |
|
|
|
|
How
long does therapy usually take? |
It takes as
long as it takes--everyone is different. Couples therapy is usually the
shortest but not always. |
|
|
|
|
Is
this the kind of therapy where I
lay on a couch and you take notes? |
We seldom
take notes during sessions, and if you want to lay on a couch you'll have
to bring your own! ;-) |
