If you are interested in exploring whether I am the right therapist for you, after you have looked through this site, please give me a call at 419.867.0301.  I have an answering service that will take your name and number and will let me know that you are interested in talking with me for 5 or 10 minutes.  Before you call, you might want to contact your insurance to see if they will cover me - either because I am on the panel, or because they cover licensed clinical psychologists.  If you ask at that time what your financial responsibilities will be, that will aid you in determining if this is the best course for you.  The brief phone conversation allows us to get an initial feel for whether there is a fit between what you are looking for and what I can offer.

My fees are

Individual (with client or family member)               30 minutes                                       $96

Individual (with client or family member)               45 minutes                                       $145

Individual (with client or family member)               60 minutes (if available)                      $170

Family/Conjoint                                                                                                  $170

Diagnostic Interview (first session)                                                                                   $225

Any additional time will be billed at the rate of $45 per 15 minutes.  You will be billed for all time spent with you or on your behalf.  This includes individual, conjoint, or family therapy; letters, consultations, travel time for “out of office” services, telephone calls and reviewing formal reports and records.  Fees are based on the amount of time involved.

If we decide that I am the right psychologist to aid you, you will be able to download and print the forms needed before you come for your first session.  If you do not have the ability to download these forms, let me know while we are talking on the phone and I will send you a packet with all needed forms so that you can fill them out prior to our first meeting.

Everyone needs to download, sign and date the Psychological Directions Policy, the Psychological Directions Notice and complete the Confidential Communication Form and the Goal Sheet. 

If you are an adult (legally defined as 18 years of age or older or legally emancipated) please download and fill out the Adult Intake Form (in addition to the four files you have already completed).  

If marital therapy is the therapy format we have agreed upon, please fill out the Adult Intake Form (in addition to the four files you have already completed) and have your partner fill out the Spouse Intake Form.  

If you have arranged to have your minor child seen, please fill out the Child’s Guardian Form (in addition to the four forms you have already completed) and have your child (legally defined as being under the age of 18 years of age) complete the Child Intake Form.  

If you know you want to have any information released from me to anyone then please download and fill out the Release From Psychological Directions and bring this with you.  

If you have been seen by other providers or have any other information you want sent to me by any person, please fill out the Release To Psychological Directions and send it to the person you want the information to come from so they can send me the information you want me to have, hopefully, before our first meeting.
