Free Talk Therapy Support for Furloughed And Fired Feds
I have decided to offer free services to up to 3 Federal workers as a way of giving back for the services that they offer us all. The struggles that my friends, family, and ongoing clients have experienced due to the recent Federal shutdown has deeply impacted me.
The free services I’m offering include the following:
-1 session-length consultation to provide some support and determine if I am an appropriate fit for your current therapeutic needs
-2 full length sessions “guaranteed”, if we agree I am an appropriate fit, focused on the goals or topics of your choice
-Up to 2 more potential sessions depending on whether you are still impacted (see criteria below)
Who is eligible?
-Any Federal worker whose Federal employment was involuntarily terminated in the last year
-Federal employees currently on Furloughed or Excepted status (Exempt are not eligible)
-Federal contractors who have lost substantial income during the shutdown
During normal times I prefer to offer community support by extending more permanent sliding scale services to special populations or occasionally offering pro bono services to ongoing clients who are in a financial emergency. But these are not normal times. I do currently have availability to continue to offer individual or couples therapy after the end of this special offering. If you wish to investigate sliding scale rates please let me know, but also please understand that this determination will be made based on financial need using the same criteria and pricing structure I use for other clients.
I specialize in Attention Deficit Disorder, men’s issues, and providing relationship support. But as a social worker I have experience with a wide range of issues including specialized experience in career support and chronic mental health disorders. If you have any questions about this offer or my expertise please let me know. And if you do not fully meet criteria please know that I offer free consultations to all clients as a foundation of my business. I am licensed in Maryland and Oregon and can only see clients in those jurisdictions. So if you live in Oregon or the DMV please feel free to share. I hope everyone affected by the shutdown finds relief from these disruptions very soon.
