Telephone consultations and private video consultations conducted through [Skype](https://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/home) are available.

These are informational meetings and relate to personal development issues and guidance as you work through the self-help exercises on this site and in my book, [Healing Your Hungry Heart](http://www.amazon.com/Healing-Your-Hungry-Heart-Recovering/dp/1573244708/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1295304904&sr=8-1).

During your consultation, you can ask questions, tell your story, and sort out with me what kinds of activities might be helpful to you. Skype consultations are more like a workshop or seminar for one rather than psychotherapy and must be understood as such.

**Skype consultations are not psychotherapy**

On Skype, I cannot be the kind of healing presence I can offer you if we meet face-to-face in my office. Nor can I offer emergency services or respond to critical emotional events that may arise in a Skype client's life as I can in my private practice. I may make recommendations, but I will usually be unable to make appropriate local referrals for you that add to your healing work or support your recovery.

**Scheduling a Skype appointment**

If you would like a Skype consultation with me, please e-mail me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. I will send you, via e-mail attachment, forms to fill out before a session can take place.

The four forms include: terms of service including payment schedule agreement, privacy information, privacy agreement and client information documents.

When I receive the signed forms from you and payment is received via [PayPal](https://www.paypal.com) your appointment can be scheduled. With mutual cooperation, time differences can be accommodated.
