Who Is A Good Candidate for ECounseling?
• Individuals who live in rural areas where driving to my office is not feasible or convenient, or individuals with physical limitations and cannot drive or get out of their homes
• Individuals who receive a specific referral to me but who do not live near my office or cannot make it to my office during office hours
• Individuals who have intense fears or phobias, or individuals who carry intense shame or fear judgment by the counselor
• Individuals who are “high visibility” or are well-known in their community may find greater safety and confidentiality by using Ecounseling services. You don’t have to fear being seen while in the waiting area or leaving my office.
• Individual who desire or benefit from having contact in between office sessions.
How Does It Work?
• You contact me via email or phone to let me know you would like to start email sessions
• You fill out some basic intake paperwork, as you would in a traditional in-office session and email or mail it back to me
• You compose your first email at your convenience
**Ecounseling is not for crisis situations and responses come within 24 to 48 business hours upon receipt of your email. If you are having a mental health related crisis you may call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Room. You may also call the National Crisis Hotlines I have listed on my webpage.
