I need help urgently. Can I call you out of session times?
Private practice psychologists are not usually able to provide a crisis service.
If you call during office hours I might be busy with another client. If you try to call outside of office hours you may have to leave a message that won't be returned until the following day.
It is very important to call someone if you do need help, and appropriate contact information is available on the resources page (click here).
I don't need help urgently, but I would like to talk between sessions. Can I email/call/text when I feel like talking?
It depends on what you want to talk about. If you don't expect an immediate reply, and (for example) need to discuss changes to session times or have a question about homework you've been asked to try, then please do contact me.
However, your relationship with me is a professional one; and this means that most discussions of any depth should take place in a therapeutic session. Please understand that I have other clients and also need to maintain boundaries between a professional relationship and a personal one.
