If I do not answer the phone, please leave a message on my voice mail. You will be asked to leave your name, area code and phone number, the time zone you are calling from, and if convenient, a suggested time when I can return your call. I make every effort to return calls as soon as possible.

During our first conversation I will explain the therapy process and answer any questions you may have. I'll determine if your problem is conducive to being treated by phone therapy or I'll provide recommendations for the most appropriate types of treatment. If we both decide to proceed, I'll discuss the financial arrangement and ask you for credit card information. We may begin therapy immediately or arrange for a more convenient time.

My fees are $60.00 for an hour and $35.00 for a half hour session; payable by Visa® or MasterCard®. To ensure confidentiality, the billing name on your credit card statement will not be"Tele-Therapist", but instead will be "S KLEIN". For confidentiality reasons some people choose not to submit mental health claims to their insurance carrier. This is a decision you must make. I will mail you the standard health insurance claim form which you may submit to your insurance company. However not all health insurance companies will provide coverage for phone therapy. If you do decide to pursue reimbursement, I certainly encourage you to call your insurance company and/or submit the claim for their determination.
