I lead two "Discovering Normal" groups, one on Wednesdays (6:00-7:30 p.m.) and one on Thursdays (7:15-8:45 p.m.). A Saturday morning group will be forming soon. These groups are for women who grew up in families where the emphasis was on meeting the parents' needs rather than on meeting the children's needs, often because of the parents' alcoholism and/or chronic mental or physical illness. Each group meets in 12-week sessions, accepting new members in the first week of a new session.  

The Wednesday group will be open to new members on September 15th; the Thursday group will be open to new members on September 16th.  Please click here if you are interested in joining one of these groups.

·      Flexible Scheduling Options - Choose email, chat, video conferencing or a combination of the three.

·      Convenient - Schedule and conduct a session from your home or office.

·      No Commute - Save time and reduce your carbon footprint.

• Anonymity - While I know who you are and I verify your identity, text-based psychotherapy via chat or email provides a sense of anonymity that may allow for easier disclosure. Even video conferencing can feel “safer” than traditional therapy because you are not in the same room as your therapist. 

These are but a few of the obvious benefits of online counseling.  With ease in scheduling and the ability to conduct sessions from home, people who might not ordinarily seek out counseling can now benefit.  For people with disabilities including mobility issues, online counseling is a perfect solution.  For people with busy schedules and long days, online counseling offers an alternative. People who live in rural communities will find online counseling a beneficial resource.  Now technology can provide people with access and choice.
