My office, dedicated to behavioral healthcare, is located in a small red brick house that was fully renovated into an office building. All renovations comply with current building codes for commercial buildings per licensed architect. My behavioral health care office has a private entrance and a second private exit available to all clients. The renovation maintained a home-like atmosphere. For example my office has a wood-burning fireplace. It is handicapped accessible. Parking for non-handicapped clients is behind the building. The parking area is brightly lit and access restricted for client safety and confidentiality. The parking area for handicapped clients is within ten feet of the entrance.
Scope of private practice includes weekly therapy for persons from ages seven through eighty. The clear majority of clients who present for treatment are experiencing anxiety and mood disorders. Therapy is structured based upon written treatment plans, which outline measurable objectives. Treatment plans are based upon client needs by using a brief therapy, behavior modification, cognitive behavioral and other behavioral health care models. I contact primary care physicians for coordination of care.
Office hours are from 10 a.m. to 12 noon and from 2 p.m. through 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The purpose of the initial visit is to gather thorough information from each client for optimal results from therapy. Each client is provided a time to detail why they are seeking psychological services. Each client responds to numerous questions based upon his or her presenting problem or problems. It is my commitment to you to provide the best possible behavioral health care.
