Everything Changes

I have had many

different types of work and study experiences in the US, Canada, Africa and Southeast Asia.

I believe that a wide range of experiences helps me to better understand people of divergent personalities, ethnicities and backgrounds, thereby hopefully to have greater empathy and understanding for your experiences, your struggles and your goals and dreams.

My own personal wins and professional success, as also my sense of joy, happiness, inner peace and equanimity, have not always come easily.

I know what it is to be healthy and financially successful. I know what it is to earn seven figures back when seven figures was real money. I know what it is to have an abundance of friends, admirers and worldly success. I also know what it is to be sick, poor and very alone. Intolerable chronic pain and misery — I’ve been there!

I know what it is to have it all. I know what it is to lose it all. I know what it is to be lost and down and stuck.

If you’re struggling now, take heart. Everything changes. Nothing remains the same. Together we’ll find new ways for you to take back control and move forward towards a brighter, more meaningful future.

Regarding Coaching

Coaching is popular

these days, but it’s not the same as Transformational Counseling.

A good coach can provide guidance, encouragement, and new perspectives. At times I may use an inspirational technique that I call TheraCoaching™. However there are important differences between ordinary coaching and Transformational Counseling.

In Transformational Counseling, as in most types of talking therapy, the practitioner typically gives little advice, but listens attentively to your life story and your current situation. In light of your desired outcomes, the therapist asks questions, paying careful attention to your words, thoughts, feelings, tone of voice, body language and subconscious cues, while maintaining an open portal for channeled insights.

Transformational Counseling is not so much about offering advice, as it is to provide a perfectly safe space, wherein you can confidently express your true feelings and deeply explore the byways of your inner landscape in the presence of a trained, non-judgmental life strategist.

Transformational Counseling helps clients to metabolize the past, heal the psyche, reframe difficult experiences and respond more effectively to the unfolding events of your life and the world around you.

Lyme & Chronic Illness

I believe there is a way back to relative health, and onward to peace of mind, life fulfillment, and lasting happiness; even after you have been infected with the dreaded Lyme disease spirochete, or perhaps diagnosed with other chronic illnesses.

In 1998 and again in 2005 I was twice unknowingly infected with Borrelia burgdorferi, aka Lyme disease, that went misdiagnosed and thereby untreated for almost 12 years.

There was no bull’s-eye rash. I never saw the insect. I suddenly became very ill the first time, and even more ill the second time, and had no idea what was happening to me.

During that dark time of my life I dragged myself from clinic to clinic and doctor to doctor trying to find answers.

Frequently I found myself sitting next to patients of various ages and demographics, whose one commonality was that their lives had been shattered by a nanoscopic spirochete bacterium know as Borrelia burgdorferi, or Lyme disease.

Hooked up to IVs or sitting in waiting rooms, I listening to their heart-wrenching stories, and I thought, “well, nobody knows what the hell’s wrong with me yet — but thank God I don’t have Lyme disease!”

Thankfully however, I did eventually stumble on a non-medical approach that has worked out surprisingly well for me.

Having found my way back from the abyss of chronic pain and misery, having now lost all of my excess weight and many of my recalcitrant symptoms, having recovered my joy and happiness and sense of wonder and gratitude, firmly rooted on my true life path again —

I now believe that you too, regardless of your present state of suffering, you can recover your good health, and your happiness as well. If I can do it, so can you.

That is my conviction and that is the vision that I hold for you. Regardless of your present state of pain and struggle, relative health and real happiness, I believe is still your birthright.

Therapist
Self-Disclosure

T he question

of whether talking therapists should self-disclose or not, i.e. reveal personal information about themselves, and how much they should reveal, is an important topic in the field of psychotherapy.

Since the dawn of modern psychotherapy, it has often been suggested that therapists should be like mirrors or blank screens who reveal little or nothing about themselves. But there has been a perennial debate about this.

It’s a complex subject because there are many factors involved and no well-meaning therapist wants to harm their clients in any way, nor cause clients to experience additional undue stress.

Due to the special nature of the client-therapist relationship, too much self-disclosure on the part of the therapist can derail the focus on the client’s needs. Painful or confusing thoughts or emotions may also be triggered that are difficult for the the client to metabolize, potentially rupturing the therapeutic alignment.

However, too little self-disclosure can be equally painful or confusing, sometimes causing feelings of alienation, resentment, rejection, etc. An excessive lack of personal transparency can trigger just as many complications as too much openness.

Learning to manage difficult feelings inadvertently triggered by the therapist (or anybody else) is a valuable life skill, but the process of mastering these feelings can be gradual and lengthy. Not every client has the time, nor the financial resources, nor in some cases the stamina or inclination to tough it out.

Furthermore, some schools of psychotherapy, including: humanistic, existential, group, behavioral, cognitive and family therapists, advocate increased self-disclosure and personal transparency for a variety of reasons.

Moreover, in the age of the internet and social media, when prominent psychologists and therapists of all stripes can be found online sharing rather intimate details of their personal lives, the whole question of therapist self-disclosure is under intensified review.

Ultimately however, the jury is still out as to when to reveal and when to withhold personal information in the therapeutic setting. It’s a balancing act and it’s one of the core dynamics that defines psychotherapy as more of an art than a science.

After years of experience, study and consideration, it is my choice to reveal some very personal information here on this site, albeit within limits.

One of the aspects of my personal story that I think can be helpful, especially to those who are suffering from chronic illness and other seemingly insurmountable life challenges, is the story of my repeatedly misdiagnosed and subsequently untreated infections of Lyme disease.

The chronicle of the onset of my illness, and the ensuing iatrogenic, quasi-medical mayhem and misguided psychiatric malfeasance, that only served to increase and prolong my suffering, while parting me from a substantial chunk of my savings — this, I think is a cautionary tale worth telling for the benefit of anyone dealing with Lyme or other autoimmune or chronic illnesses.

The story of my persistent struggle to eventually recover my health, and the valuable lessons learned in the process, are I think potentially inspiring to those in need of guidance and hope.

Therefore it is my choice as a therapist to disclose a bit about my many years of suffering with Lyme disease.

And while we’re at it, I am also pleased to share certain aspects of my perhaps somewhat unusual and diverse occupational and vocational life. It is my hope that this information may help to create a sense of empathy and connection.

I share these stories from my life, not to be boastful, nor to enlist sympathy, but because it is my belief that in some sense we are all part of the human family, we are all distant cousins, and our stories, experiences and reveries intermingle in the nebula of our spiritual commonality.

I disclose parts of my life story because I believe that we are all somehow connected; and we share an immutable synchronicity in the intangible realm of our hopes and dreams for better, happier, healthier lives, and for a more egalitarian and equanimous world.

I disclose these aspects of my life story because I believe it is the right thing to do.

Transformational Counseling™

Client Agreement

The Counselor

I am an M.Ed. Counseling Therapist. I use an eclectic mix of therapeutic counseling styles that I call Transformational Counseling™. I generally adhere to the ACA Code of Ethics for Professional Counselors.

Confidentiality

Everything that is discussed in our sessions is 100% private and kept in the absolute strictest of confidence. If I feel the need to discuss any aspect of my work with a colleague or qualified supervisor, I will not disclose anything that would enable you to be identified.

If you are receiving treatment by a licensed physician for emotional difficulties or mental problems, it is important that you inform me about this, and specifically disclose any psychoactive medications you are currently taking or any other details that may be relevant to our work. I will not confer with your doctor without your prior knowledge and permission.

However, if there is compelling evidence or reason to believe that you intend to harm yourself or do harm to others, I am required by law to break confidentiality and to inform your doctor, or in serious cases the emergency services or other appropriate third parties. Wherever possible, and if it is considered appropriate, you will be informed of this.

I may sometimes keep concise notes after a session, which are encrypted, password protected and securely stored. I will not make any audio or video recordings without your prior knowledge and permission.

You must likewise agree not to audio record or video record or otherwise capture any part of our sessions without my explicit written permission.

Complete Privacy of your sessions is imperative. Sessions are for pre-registered individuals, couples, or groups only. No one else is permitted to watch, listen, observe or attend the counseling session at any time, for any reason. The only exception to this is that babies or infants under 2 years old may be present if you cannot make child care arrangements with a spouse, guardian or babysitter.

Important Note*

I do not provide crisis intervention services. Should you need emergency support, please contact your General Practitioner or call 911 or your local emergency services immediately.

Sliding Scale Fees are available, upon approval, for clients with Serious Financial Difficulties and for students with Onerous Debt Loads. If you are requesting the Sliding Scale, please be prepared to submit a statement about your financial situation. A link to the Sliding Scale application is found on the Schedule Sessions page.

Cancellation Policy

If you cancel a session with less than 48 hours notice, you will be billed for the full session. If you wish to reschedule a session, you may do so with at least 24 hours notice. When you book a session, the entire session time belongs to you. I will be present and available for the entire time of your scheduled session, whether you are able to attend or not. If you arrive late or part way through the allotted time, I will talk with you for the remainder of the time.

Counselor Cancellation

I make every effort to be available for scheduled sessions, however in the event that I must cancel or reschedule a session, I will give you as much notice as possible and you may reschedule to any available time slot. Sessions missed due to my unavailability, if not rescheduled will be fully refunded.

Refunds

If I am available for your scheduled session, but you are unable to attend, or reschedule within 48 hours of the scheduled session, there are generally no refunds unless you have experienced serious extenuating circumstances such as a death in the family or other tragedies and emergencies, and you chose not to reschedule. These situations will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Fee Increases

I will give at least one month’s notice prior to any increase in pricing.

Duration of Counseling

Transformational Counseling can be short-term or long-term; the duration and frequency of our work together is entirely up to you. It is common for clients to schedule weekly or biweekly hour-long sessions, though some clients prefer to meet once a month, and some chose to meet every day. Your sincere commitment to the counseling process increases the likelihood of a positive outcome.

Beverage & Bathroom Breaks

It is recommended that both clients and therapist use the bathroom and prepare any desired beverages ahead of time. However, in remote therapy sessions occasional bathroom and/or beverage breaks are normal, and may be requested at any time, by the client or the therapist.

Reasons for Termination

It is my hope that you will terminate our counseling relationship only after you have successfully moved beyond the current difficulties and challenges in your life, or achieved significant improvements. I also aim to help you to discover and pursue your true life dream. I am committed to your evolving happiness, success, and sense of fulfillment and well-being. However there are some valid reasons for which I may have to terminate our sessions:

Safety & Compatibility

I reserve the right to terminate the counseling relationship if you violate the terms of this agreement, or if there is a perceived threat to my well-being or anyone else’s well-being, or if I feel that I am not a good match for you, or I am not professionally equipped to help you with your situation.

Inebriation

Please avoid the use of alcohol or excessive use of mind-altering substances during or just prior to our sessions. I am not opposed to the moderate use of legal substances during the course of life, either for recreation, or for pain management, or to treat insomnia, or for consciousness expansion, etc. However, if you are significantly impaired during our counseling work, I may find it necessary to end the session, in which case you will still be charged the full rate.

Civility

Anger and frustration are normal human emotions that we can discuss and work on during our sessions. However, our interaction will begin and remain civil, respectful and polite at all times. Abusive speech or behavior is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated. If you cannot control your anger, if you vent abusive comments or exhibit threatening behavior, I reserve the right to inform you that I will end the session immediately, with no refund. Repeated verbal abusive or threatening behavior is grounds for permanent termination.

Nudity

While I have nothing against the unclothed human body, nudity or partial nudity is not permitted in the counseling space. You may take off a sweater or jacket if you are hot, but please keep your clothing on. Nudity is a valid reason for me to terminate the session without refund.

Contact Outside of Sessions

The intensely private and nonjudgmental nature of our psychotherapeutic counseling work is intended to create a very special relationship wherein you can feel completely safe and comfortable to talk about absolutely anything.

Successful counseling dyads are thought to be among the most intimate human relationships that exist. However, to protect you, no matter how close the therapist and client may become within the counseling environment, there is a permanent protective boundary to the relationship in the real world.

Should we happen to inadvertantly meet outside of your sessions, please be aware that I may not greet you if you are not alone, or I may only acknowledge and greet you briefly and politely if you are alone. This is to protect your privacy and confidentiality, while maintaining normal psychotherapeutic boundaries. It is not my intention to make you feel alienated or disrespected. I adhere to well-established therapist-client boundary norms, as your privacy is my utmost concern.

Social Media

Please do not invite me to friend you on social media, including: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, etc. As a Professional Therapist I am not permitted to do this under strict Codes of Professional Ethics, and refusal can cause offense where none is intended. Our counseling sessions must protect your right to privacy and my right as a counseling therapist to limit self-disclosure.

Encrypted Communication

Encrypted Communication Services provide a reasonable degree of privacy. Encrypted services such as Telegram and Zoom are used for video, audio, and text chat communication. When using e-mail to communicate, it is recommended that you use FastMail, ProtonMail, Tutanota or a similar encrypted e-mail service, some of which are free.

Text Dialog

Text Dialog outside of sessions is preferably conducted via encrypted texting in the free, user-friendly, encrypted, privacy-focused Telegram app.

If you are unable to download and setup Telegram, or if we cannot contact each other due to technical problems, written communication can be achieved via private, encrypted e-mail such as: FastMail or Zoho or ProtonMail or Tutanota. However, no e-mail is truly 100% secure, and sending confidential information via unencrypted e-mail may present certain privacy risks for which I assume no legal responsibility.

Audio Sessions & Video Sessions

Transformational Counseling™ Sessions may be conducted by safe, private, encrypted Audio Call or Video Call. There are differences and advantages inherent to each modality.

Some people prefer a visual connection, while others enjoy the lack of visual distractions and increased conversational focus of Audio Sessions. Audio Sessions also require less bandwidth, and therefor tend to be slightly more stable and technologically simple to achieve.

There may be times that I will explicitly request an Audio Session or a Video Session for reasons that I may or may not disclose. You may also do the same. The fee is the same for Audio Sessions and Video Sessions.

Group Sessions

Group Sessions are conducted remotely via encrypted Zoom Video Conferencing. You can download the Zoom app here.

Conferencing Set-up

Audio & Video Sessions are conducted remotely using the free, encrypted Telegram app, a user-friendly, multi-platform communication app with a focus on security and privacy. You can download Telegram here (web) or here Telegram (Apple App Store).

Alternatively the Signal app may also be used, though I recommend Telegram.

Technical Support

At this time I do not offer technical support for setting up e-mail or texting and communication apps.

Computer Privacy, Safety & Data Protection

When working online, it is important to maintain security by taking reasonable measures to ensure confidentiality and privacy. Privacy and data protection on the client side is entirely your responsibility. I assume no responsibility for your digital privacy other than what I can control on my side of the interaction.

Firewalls and Antivirus Apps can be configured or installed to protect your software and hardware from third parties, malware, and/or viruses. I highly recommend the use of firewalls and/or antivirus apps.

Password Protection should always be used. Any computer, phone, or other electronic device used for Transformational Counseling™ sessions should be private and have adequate password protection.

Records

The Counselor owns all transcripts, messages, e-mails, and notes that are made as a part of our work together. When we have completed our work, any materials such as text or email exchanges, etc., are removed from my password-protected, firewall-protected, private computer and temporarily stored on an external password-protected, encrypted device that is not connected to the Internet, prior to being permanently destroyed.

Privacy

Please do not post or share extracts or whole copies of any of our commu­nication to social media or anywhere else. Our sessions are strictly private and confidential to protect you, the client. Thank you.
