Are you a qualified clinician?
Yes. Please go to the page for more details. My licenses are up to date. Anyone who acquired certification or coaching online will not be able to show the licensing and collegiate faculty experience as I have on the Why Me page.
What are the differences between certification and licensure?
The differences between these terms in the industry are explained here. They are not interchangeable terms. They each have a unique meaning and implication.
Certification is granted by a private entity like a professional organization or school, usually after an educational and/or testing process has been completed. Certification is not legally required. It is meant to show prospective customers / the public that a certain level of education or qualification has been met. Continuing professional development is voluntary.
Licensure is issued by a public entity like a state or federal government. Licensing exists primarily for the well-being of consumers and public safety. Licensure is legally required. It provides eligibility to practice and establishes competency in a given field. Continuing professional development is mandatory.
How do I absolve risk in selecting a clinician?
Look for state or federal licensure, a history of treating many clients with your symptoms and getting results.
What do you treat?
Anything and everything. Please go to the page for more information.
What disorders do you treat so I know whether or not it's appropriate for me to contact you?
Please go to the page for more information.
I am looking for like-minded practitioners. Are you well networked with other providers, labs and services?
Yes, of course. I have a strong network in my regional area and across the country.For more information, please go to the page for more information.
