Medication

Although I sometimes refer to the use of medications to address psychological problems as a “Refusal of the Call,” they can be very helpful for some people. Others try it and find it doesn’t work for them. Still others don’t want to consider it. In my opinion, use of medication is your choice and, as with any other decision, I would be happy to help you in the process of making that choice.

I do not have a psychiatrist and

I do not want one, for the simple reason

he might become disturbed.

Please note that I am not a physician or a psychiatrist and am not able to prescribe medications. However, I can provide information and ideas for you to discuss with your doctor. While we’re on the topic, it’s important to remember that your doctor works for you!

If you wish, I would be happy to talk to your doctor, with your permission, about possible courses of treatment and help you and your doctor monitor your treatment.

Finding the Right Therapist for You (I know it’s not easy)

You’re probably hoping to find a therapist who “gets you,” who helps you find a better life. How do you find that person? Good question! What resonates for you is unique to you. I’ve been there. Am I a good fit for you? Only you can decide.

Some Advice: I believe the main thing that a therapist brings to their work is themselves. In this website, I share a lot about “what I’m like to be around” and my approach to therapy. I hope to help answer the question of “fit” for you. Please look at the rest of this website or contact  me to talk about your situation. I wish you the best in your search.
