Free Initial Consultation
If you are serious about pursuing counseling with me, just call and schedule a free, one-hour consultation. I'll have a chance to ask you about your problems and goals, to listen fully, quietly and deeplyand you will have a chance to ask me about my work, methods and services. Fees for Sessions My fees are affordable, because I have a sliding scale. With any new client, we negotiate a mutually agreeable per-hour fee for the counseling I provide. It is based on both what is affordable for you, and me, and takes into account standard, market-value rates for counseling services as well as your income and financial circumstances. My sliding scale allows those with special circumstances or lower incomes to work with me. Each session may last for an hour or for several hours. Sometimes there is little need to delay the process of development and problem-solving by having sessions which are too brief. In those cases, it is better for clients to have intensive, longer sessions to solve a problem and achieve a goal. A series of sessions that deal with a particular issue or solving a particular goal may involve six hours or double or triple that. Some clients go through a series a sessions and reach a desired goal and then go for a time without any sessions while enjoying a new way of living for a time. Then, sometimes, a new problem and a new goal emerges for which more sessions will help you go to the next level of development, learning and change. Values Based Counseling is a process by which you, as a client, learn to take the best patterns of cognitive science and apply them for solving painful problems, for your goals, for your prosperity, for making a difference in our ever-changing world, and for furthering the quest for meaning in the journey of your life, After your initial, one-hour fee consultation you will know what Values Based Counseling can do for you. |
