Psychotherapy, Clnical Supervision and Forensic Mental Health- New Practice Opens in Rumson, NJ. I have maintained a private practice in Georgia for nearly
10 years, and for the past five, I have traveled back and forth between New Jersey and Georgia. While I am licensed
in New Jersey and New York, I have not offered face-to-face services in the greater New York area until now.
My
new practice is located in Rumson, NJ. I am easily accessible from the Garden State Parkway and a short commute from
NYC. I offer psychotherapy, clinical supervision and forensic evaluation services.
My psychotherapy specialties include relationship issues such as infidelity or money matters, working with adolescent and
adult survivors of abuse, and substance abuse issues. Complimentary to my online counseling work, I also help people
understand the impact of technology on their lives and the lives of people they love. Internet addiction, social networks
such as MySpace and virtual worlds like Second Life are changing the way many people exist day to day- some folks
are impacted positively while others are having a difficult time managing.
My clinical supervision services are available
to graduates working toward New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) status or New York Licensed Mental Health
Counselor (LMHC) status. My specialties include forensic mental health, online counseling, abuse issues and addictions.
I also conduct forensic evaluations including substance abuse, domestic violence (violence risk), parental fitness
and child custody. Add-on services such as paternity tests and urine drug screens are available as well.
I look forward to serving Rumson and the surrounding communities! Call today for a free initial consultation! Confidential Voice Mail: 877.773.5591.

Google Lively- a New Virtual WorldGoogle announced last week their answer to Second Life.
Google Lively is a new virtual world where one can join, build an avatar and create another persona.
No doubt mental health support and therapeutic services will be offered at Google Lively keeping those of us with an interest
in avatar therapy very busy! I read an interesting article in the San Fransisco Chronicle on Sunday that stated IBM is working on the ability for avatars to teleport between
virtual worlds. It would seem that would blow the internet doors wide open! I will be exploring Google Lively very soon!

Podcasts about Mental Health and Psychology Podcasts are becoming more
and more popular. Easy to digest, podcasts often offer information in an easy-to-listen format, much like listening
to news or a story on the radio. Various mental health and medical organizations offer podcasts such as the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance and the Medical University of South Carolina. Mental health practitioner Marcos Quinones offer podcasts on related topics as well.
This week's Scientific American 60-Second PSYCH podcast discusses topics related to e-therapy, avatar therapy and behavioral telehealth. Georgia Psychologist, Dr. Craig Kerley is mentioned as well as the Online Therapy Institute, both for having a presence in Second Life.
Podcasts are another way to receive the latest information on a variety
of topics. With many podcast directories available, it is easy to find a podcast on a specific mental health topic.
So if you are tired of reading web pages, blogs, the paper or books, have a listen to a podcast for a change!
