“I help my clients devise healthy solutions around current personal communications and the affected relationship(s). Procedures utilized to accomplish the above are numerous. We work together as an investigative team, encourage self-monitoring, self-help, develop coping strategies for real losses and actual deficits, customize therapy interventions, use gentle humor, set agenda for therapy sessions, give constructive feedback to direct the course of therapy, employ common cognitive therapy and other therapeutic techniques. My knowledge and experience around family systems, family of origin issues, Christian values, devising solutions, and personality types (differences and similarities) are incorporated into our therapeutic approach.

A Cognitive Behavior Modification approach to devise short-term solutions for individuals, couples and families: I accept over 50 insurance companies, 10 EAP companies, as well as all credit cards. Aetna, BC/BS, CIGNA ,Magellan, Mental Health Net, TriCare, United Behavioral Health to name a few. WWW.FamilyNow1.com

My office is located in a wonderful, private setting. located on the top floor of a two story brick building, beautifully landscaped with a small office park lake. A place to rest and reflect and work thru life struggles. My 30 years of experience can help with your concerns. George”
