1. The therapy services offered meet the client’s immediate and long-term needs.

4. A Woman’s Support group may be offered sometimes
5. It is possible for clients and their counselor to develop treatment plans with the opportunity to involve others in their therapy.

The initial phone consultation is FREE . The evaluation is $75 and further fees are determined on a sliding scale and affordable to most people. The sliding scale will be discussed with the counselor during the client’s first session. There are additional discounts for those over 55 years of age. Using the sliding scale assures the client that no insurance companies will be involved.
The client’s treatment and length of therapy will depend upon the decisions of both the counselor and the client. I have been in the mental health field over 20 years. I love what I do and I want to help. I am accepting new clients from Falmouth and at my original office in Mashpee.. Which is on Cape Cod in Barnstable County Massachusetts.

The web is overloaded with articles describing anxiety, depression and substance abuse. It tells you what the symptoms are, how they effect people, how they originated, etc.. It doesn’t usually help the individual to personally deal with these disabling disorders. Anxiety, depression and addiction often ruin lives, and unfortunately, can end up killing a victim.
You already know what your symptoms are. You are painfully aware of how they affect your emotions and your life. You want to deal with them and get answers to your particular problems!
Anxiety, depression, alcohol abuse and drug addiction is experienced differently for each individual. You are entitled to receive treatment ‘just for you’. Individualized treatment works.
Ask yourself the following questions.
Do you know that you are more anxious or depressed than most people?
Do you think you may have a problem with alcohol or drugs, but can’t talk about it?
Have you felt hopeless to cope with your particular symptoms of anxiety or depression?
Have you tried, unsuccessfully, to share how you feel with friends, a partner or family?
Has telling others helped you to get relief long-term or only for a short while?
Do others care, but get tired of hearing about your symptoms and painful feelings?
Do you feel scared and alone in your situation?
Do you believe counseling can be effective? But not for you?
Have you ever connected well with a counselor? They all have different styles of working with clients. If you don’t connect, go to another counselor.
Are you open to working with a professional and learn to effectively deal with your pain?
Do you want to eliminate or reduce stress and your hopeless feelings?
Do you want to be able to recognize the triggers that are related to your anxiety, depression and/or substance abuse?

I wrote this many years ago when I was in early recovery.
I wanted to be accountable to others for my actions, thoughts and feelings.
I hope it inspires you to value your family and friends in the here and now.
For me, being in this family means love and acceptance.
In this family, we carefully watch over other family members.
In this family, we emotionally feel secure sharing our feelings.
In this family, we decide when not to share our feelings and struggles.
The decision not to share is based on altruism, on what is best for the other person.
Thoughtfulness and caring are the norm.
The intuitive and warm feelings come from deep respect for one another.
Compassionate personalities and strong value systems thrive on honesty, love and understanding.
This family is truly blessed. However, there are past hurts and trauma.
Every generation has a unique way of looking at these problems.
Problems test love.
Love intermingles with confusion.
Confusion often leads to hope.
Hope is empowering. (SF)

Do you recognize any of the following statements?
My good feelings about who I am stem from being liked by you and receiving approval from you.
Your struggles affect my serenity. My mental attention focuses on solving your problems or relieving your pain.
My mental attention is focused on pleasing, protecting or manipulating you to do it my way.
Solving your problems and relieving your pain bolsters my self-esteem.
Because I feel you are a reflection of me, you’re clothing and personal appearance is dictated by my desires.
Your behavior is dictated by my desires.
I am not aware of how I feel. I am aware of how you feel.
I am not aware of what I want. I ask you what you want.
If I am not aware of something, I assume. (I don’t ask or verity it in some other way.)
The dreams I have for my future are linked to you.
My fear of your anger and rejection determines what I say or do.
In our relationship I use giving as a way of feeling safe.
As I involve myself with you, my social circle diminishes.
To connect with you, I put my values aside.
I value your opinion and way of doing things more than my own.
The quality of my life depends on the quality of yours.
