Initial Phone Call
I am happy to talk with you about your concerns and possible interest in therapy. Other issues such as fees, insurance, appointment availability, and therapy location can also be covered. During the pandemic I am only seeing people from my home office using teletherapy. I also have an office in Mission Valley, about 1 mile east of Presidio Park. The building is accessible and has a bus stop a short block away.
