“Ms. Anderson has experienced a number of medical, psychological and social crises over much of her adult life. She has intelligently responded by seeking the help of a number of mental health professionals, e.g., psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers and counselors and experienced a wide variety of mental health interventions, e.g., individual psychotherapy, inpatient psychiatric treatment, outpatient day treatment and psychpharmaco therapy. She has responded well to this variety of professionals and modalities and is now interested in sharing with others her struggles and successes in coping with her mental health problems and their impact on her parenting role…. Mrs. Anderson is an intelligent, articulate, insightful, and creative person. I would recommend her to you for your consideration if you are looking for a speaker for your organization.” – Patrick Mills, Ed.D. Clinical Psychologist
Disclaimer
I am not a physician, counselor, or therapist. Using a problem solving approach, I teach the life skills necessary for the establishment and maintenance of emotional health. If, at any point during the consultation process, the client shows the need for professional medical or mental health services, a recommendation will be made in writing that such services be obtained. The consultation relationship will be terminated until the client has complied with the recommendation.
