J and K were contacted me for help after an extra-marital affair threatened their 32-year long marriage, destroying trust, self esteem and their overall ability to communicate. After a year of intensive telephone work, the couple renewed their marital vows on the anniversary of their marriage. They continue to work towards improved trust, communication, and mutual encouragement through regular telephone sessions.


S felt terribly alone, frustrated, and alienated from her family after a difficult childhood with her alcoholic, abusive father and passive fearful mother. At the same time, she longed for closeness with them and so agreed to manage the family business from the opposite coast. Her busy schedule maintaining the business and coping with life as a single woman in NYC left her no real time or energy for traditional therapy. Working with me by telephone S has found a ready source of insight, support and self-confirmation, and is working toward reconciliation with her mother and father. She is making great strides as she continues to work on he relationship with her parents and pursues her own dreams.


L was totally homebound and in real need of a supportive, compassionate ear to help overcome her depression after suffering several unsuccessful surgeries and the multiple infections that resulted. Telephone counseling with me has offered her a means of support, self-awareness and has help her become more optimistic. In weekly telephone sessions, L is learning new coping and relaxation skills, and continues to recovering a sense of self worth and hope.
