My Approach

I like to first chat with new clients over the phone. That gives me a chance to understand their particular need. And, it gives them a chance to get to know me better. During that chat, I like to schedule a time for a first appointment. Prior to that first appointment, I ask new clients to complete the pre-engagement paper work for me. Doing that prior to the first appointment saves you money. During the first appointment, I do my best to understand your situation, make any diagnosis (if applicable), work with you to develop goals for what you’d like to accomplish with my help, and decide what further assessment might be helpful in helping you to achieve your goals in counseling or therapy. It is also during this first appointment that you would get some idea of the cost of working with me. Armed with treatment goals and cost estimates, you will be prepared to decide if you want to make an investment – in your self, your marriage or partner relationship, or your family – in efforts to reach your desired life goals. I hope you will reach out and contact me today! 

 

"I have had extensive counseling and psychology therapy from Roy. He has training, credentials, and "real world" life experience. A breadth of knowledge and wisdom comes through in every session. This, plus his kindness and compassion, has been really key in my self-growth. I have been to several therapists but Roy has been by far the most helpful, and has really been a game-changer. I highly recommend him."
