Evaluation process

I take the first few sessions seriously as an evaluation process. I
think of the initial phone call as the beginning of this process, though
it is not a therapy session and I will not charge you for it. This call is
a way for you to decide whether you would like to come and talk to
me about your problems. It is also a way for me to determine
whether I might be able to help you. If you have doubts or concerns
about any of our discussions or interactions during any part of the
evaluation process, I strongly encourage you to discuss them with
me. If I am not the right person for you to work with, I will provide
you with referrals to professionals who may be better able to serve
you.
