About Psych-Works
Psych-Works is a new approach to mental health that involves tailoring psychological
support and service to individual lifestyles, rather than trying to force people to rearrange
what are often stressful lives to fit a provider's schedule. Wherever possible, we try to offer
maximum flexibility in arranging psychological services so that life becomes easier, rather
than more difficult when people undertake psychological treatment.
Often people are discouraged from working to achieve good mental health because of
demanding work schedules, family responsibilities, health issues and other time
limitations. Sometimes a suitable therapist cannot be found within a reasonable distance
or psychological services are not available locally. In these situations, trying to arrange
psychological services may be an additional source of stress. Travel may also interfere
with regular appointments, disrupting the type of steady work and attention which usually
lead to satisfying mental health outcomes.
Psych-Works offers flexibility in appointments to avoid disruption of personal and
professional schedules. By combining face-to-face meetings, telephone sessions and
Skype contact, we strive to offer uninterrupted psychological therapy. We also work to
offer the opportunity to work on psychological issues as they occur, rather than after
lengthy waits for appointments.
Often when people fall into unproductive behavioral habits, these patterns repeat when
triggers occur, with little opportunity to halt the response cycle and examine and
restructure responses. In difficult relationships, where anger or alienation predominate,
days and weeks can go by without improvement or change, leading to depression and
hopelessness, as well as a drop in self-esteem.
Not appropriate for all psychological issues, Psych-Works is geared to those types of
problems which require behavior change, habit retraining and attitudinal shifts. Although
Psych-Works cannot provide emergency care, we can offer timely and convenient
scheduling. For information on psychological treatment, click here.

Psych-Works does not participate in health insurance plans, and payment is requested at
the time of service. Our charges are $150 for individual sessions, and $175 for couples
counseling or other relationship work. We accept Visa, MasterCard and American
Express, and we bill credit cards at the time of service.
