Telephone coaching is ideal for those who do not have easy access to a psychologist. It is an effective way to get professional advice and support for the problems of life. It is not ideal for serious psychiatric illness such as major depression, bi-polar disorder, suicidality or schizophrenia. Concerns of this sort are best addressed in person. Problems that can be addressed by telephone include difficulty with adjustment to new situations, frustrations/anxiety about jobs, relationships, or one's health and concerns about coping with the normal symptoms of difficult illnesses.
Insurance coverage does not extend to telephone sessions. I charge by the quarter hour. Depending on your goals, sessions can be as long as 45 or 60 minutes, or as short as 15 minutes Sessions can be prepaid by check or money order or they can be paid via PayPal. Please call me at 215 782 3930 or email at lamarfreed@lamarfreed.net if you have questions about rates.
