I do not work with minors, nor do I conduct child custody evaluations or custody recommendations. I also do not generally provide treatment for eating disorders, psychotic disorders (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, etc), or personality disorders. Due to state licensing laws, I can only provide therapy and counseling to individuals physically residing in Florida.

There is a 24 hour cancellation policy. If you do not notify me at least 24 hours before your appointment, you will be charged a $50 cancellation fee, which will be charged to your credit card.

DO YOU SPEAK SPANISH?

Although I understand Spanish perfectly, I do not have 100% confidence in my speaking skills to be able to conduct an entire session in Spanish; therefore I do not offer sessions in Spanish. However, I often have clients speak "Spanglish" with me in sessions, with no problem on my part.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I BE IN THERAPY FOR?

That is entirely up to you based on your needs, availability, financials, etc. The majority of my clients I see on a weekly basis, while some are bi-weekly or as needed. In general, most clients are in therapy for at least a period of 3 months, if not much longer depending on their presenting problem. We will figure out what best suits your needs together.

I am available in the afternoon and evening hours during the week.

DO YOU COMPLETE ESA LETTERS?

I will not complete ESA letters for clients I do not have an established long term relationship with (even so I typically will complete these on a limited basis). If you are coming to therapy for just this purpose, I recommend looking up ESA Doggy or Pettable.
