What This Call Is And Is Not

WHAT THIS CALL IS

This is a first conversation to help you understand your situation and decide what to do next.


It is a place to ask questions, get perspective, and identify a practical next step.


This introductory conversation helps us understand your situation and identify an appropriate next step. The paid consultations provide more focused planning. 

WHAT THIS CALL IS NOT

 It is not medical treatment, detoxification, psychotherapy, legal advice, or emergency intervention.


It is also not a promise that another person will change.


The focus is on helping you respond more clearly and effectively.

START WITH A CONVERSATION

You do not need to have the whole situation figured out before you call.


Bring the questions, the confusion, and the facts as you understand them.


We will start there.
