Psychotherapy Services

What is your specialization?

My clinical practice is geared towards guys in high school and up.  Oftentimes these guys who come to see me are coming to therapy for the first time and don't know what to expect.  Or they have tried therapy before but had negative experiences.  My approach is based in research on the male brain.  I focus on assisting my clients with building skills and finding solutions in a reasonable time frame.  I have specific training in evidenced-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance &  Commitment Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy.  When working with boys in high school I offer the option of 30-minute appointments as that can make the process of therapy more palatable. 

What are your rates?

Psychotherapy 50 minutes - $150

Psychotherapy 30 minutes - $90

Is therapy confidential?

What we talk about will remain confidential UNLESS there is  an issue of mandated reporting required under law or a consent form for disclosure has been completed.

How long does treatment take?

Much like trying to figure out duration and dosing of medications, therapy is a process that requires personalization.  We can work on figuring out what interventions work best for you during our sessions.  During our first session I will collect data on how your moods are.  After 5-10 sessions I will re-administer screenings so we can measure the progress that has been made and ensure that we are achieving your goals.

Can you prescribe medications?

I do not prescribe medications.  However, I can help connect you to qualified professionals that can if need be.

What does “LCSW” mean?

I am credentialed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Arizona. An LCSW is the highest level of licensure for Clinical Social Workers. 

Do you offer in-person visits?

I am currently offering both office visits and telehealth visits.  My office address is 6909 W Ray Rd suite 15-109, Chandler, AZ 85226.  For telehealth visits a secure link will be sent to you via a program called Simple Practice.  If you need to access your secure Simple Practice Portal click on the link at the bottom of this website.

Is there anyone that you cannot have sessions with?

I cannot provide therapy outside of the state of Arizona.  I also cannot provide clinical services outside of my scope of practice.  If there is a clinical issue that can be better addressed by a different provider I will help you get connected.
