There are limitations associated with distance counseling & coaching services:
We are able to provide services via several methods:
*Distance counseling & coaching costs are the same as face-to-face office sessions.
- Check with your insurance provider to ensure that services of this nature are covered and/or eligible for reimbursement.
- Confidentiality is not guaranteed and becomes limited due to Internet service provider protocols, firewall settings, and/or the counselor not being able to secure your location. You are required to maintain the security of your home/office during all sessions. If security is breached, the counselor reserves the right to terminate the session.
- Due to technical issues, service may be temporarily interrupted.
- You should not use this method for behavioral health services if you are under the influence of drugs/alcohol, suicidal, self-injuring or homicidal.
- If you are currently feeling depressed, suicidal or desire to hurt yourself or someone else, immediately call 911 or go to your local Emergency Room to receive prompt medical treatment.
We are able to provide services via several methods:
- Telephone sessions.
- Secure and real-time chat or video conferencing via Skype: fadcounseling.
- Secure video conferencing via Watchitoo.
- Secure and encrypted email. If you choose this method, once I receive payment and a detailed description of your situation/question, I will send you an encrypted response, via your patient portal, that has evidence-based feedback/recommendations. You should receive a response within 24 – 48 hours. Associated costs for emails are $35 per email or $125 if purchased in a set of 4.
