So we can figure out what is best for you.
The reason I offer you a free first 30 minute meeting is so that you can figure out if you can work with me.  Sometimes you have to trust your intuition as to whether a counselor will be able to help you or not.  If not, I will be more than happy to provide you with additional referrals to other counselors that might better fit what you are looking for. 

A helpful experience
My primary goal is to provide a good, helpful experience in counseling, whether you choose to work with me or someone else.  To me, good therapy is all about finding the right fit for you with a counselor you feel comfortable with.  I am familiar with dozens of counselors around Los Angeles as well as other low cost counseling centers throughout the city.  Hopefully, if you come see me we can figure out if I am a fit for you or get you started in another helpful direction.
