A Confession I am Compelled To Make:

In planning to put up a website I did the necessary research and viewed a great number of other Los Angles psychologists websites. And all I have to say is "WOW!!" There are a lot of fabulous Los Angeles psychologists out there that can make you feel better, perform better, be all you can be and do it in no time flat. My hat is off to them. And I feel compelled to confess: I can't cure you in your sleep, can't get everything honky-dory for you in 3 hrs., and I will probably require that you actually come to my office and work at what's bothering you.

I am just a poor country doctor psychologist (born in the wilderness of the Isle of Long - 20 miles from Manhattan) and educated in New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles. So I lack that urbane savoir-faire necessary to catapult you right past your pain and into satori. Nope, with me you will actually probably cry a little, it will probably take some time, but if you and I put all of our I.Q. points into it we can probably get you through the hurts and blocks and help you arrive at a new view. A view that frees up the energy knotted in conflicts providing you with more energy available for love and work (Dr. Freud's and Dr. Reich's definition of mental health. - Did he just say Freud?!)

So, despite being a country Doc, I am also a Los Angeles psychologist - consequently, you cannot shoe my mule for payment nor do I take managed care or insurance (you can bill them but I won't. I find after dealing with them I need my shrink.) Moreover, my co-therapist is a registered therapy dog and insists his pay be in raw food and pig's ears. Zoning prohibits my plowing fields and running my combine therefore I must insist on cash on the barrel head, fee for service.

I promise to do my best if you promise to put your shoulder to the wheel.
