Telephone Sessions

I offer the possibility of telephone counseling to residents of Oregon. Given interstate restrictions on counseling by telephone, I am available to work by telephone with non-Oregon residents as a personal growth mentor and educator.

What are your fees?

My fees are affordable. Even so, I offer individual appointments, groups, and workshops on a sliding scale.

Which methods of payment do you accept?

I receive payments by personal check, cash, and Paypal. Clients can make payments by credit card and debit card to my Paypal account.

 

 

Do you accept insurance?

Generally my services are not covered by insurance. There are a very few exceptions. A very few insurance companies will cover hypnosis treatment for certain conditions. Typically this requires that the hypnosis treatment be recommended by a doctor. However you may receive a 100% IRS Tax Credit for the cost of your smoking cessation program and weight loss program. For further information about the IRS tax credit, select IRS Tax Credit on the left panel.

Cancellation Policy

I request that if it is necessary for you to cancel an appointment or workshop registration, you please do so at least 24 hours ahead of time. Otherwise you will be charged. Of course, exceptions are made for cancellations due to medical reasons. Group fees are charged by the month, irrespective of your attendance.

Lending Library

As a support for the personal growth of my clients, I offer a lending library of books of psychological, self-help, and spiritual interest.
