FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

1. Do you also work with couples, individuals, and families in your office or do you only present workshops?

Yes, I do work with coupes, individuals, and families in my office. Just call my main number at 281-358-3299 and my assistant will return your call to answer questions about setting an appointment.

2. What are your fees for services?

My fee for each hour (50-minute session) is $145 whether for an individual, couple, or family. Each one and one-half hour (80-minute session) is $215 and each two hour (110-minute session) is $290. I also have two LADIES GROUP sessions and one MEN’S GROUP. They are two hour sessions at $90 per person. Group sessions for COUPLES are two hours for $110 per couple. I accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express in my private practice and the workshops, as well as checks and cash.

3. Do you file insurance for clients? Are you in insurance programs that have specific providers for members to use?

No, I have not filed insurance for clients since the year 2000. At that time, I also resigned as a “preferred provider” for all insurance panels that I had been on for the past many years. I am now considered an “Out of Network” provided. Please read the answer in question #4 for more information on “Out of Network” providers.

4. What can I expect in the way of my insurance coverage and reimbursement for your services if I file my own receipts?

The easiest way to get that answer is to call the 800 phone number for “Benefits” or “Customer Service” on your insurance card and ask for your “Mental Health Benefits.” Also ask if you are required to go to their providers or do you have “Out of Network Benefits?” If you do have “Mental Health” coverage (which is usually the case in most insurance benefit plans) and “Out of Network Benefits” (which varies with each insurance company and depends on the particular plan you or your company has chosen), you should receive some reimbursement for my services. My licenses are valid and issued by the State of Texas Boards for Professional Counselors and for Marriage and Family Therapists, and my receipt contains all the pertinent information you need from me to file your claims.

5. Where exactly are you located in Humble, TX?

My exact address is 10203 Birchridge, suite G, Humble, TX 77338.
If you are coming from the north on HWY 59 (traveling south), you would exit off of HWY 59 at the FM1960 exit. Stay on the service road and turn right onto Birchridge (at Chair King store on the right, just before Hobby Lobby and Deerbrook Mall). Come down Birchridge, passing the tall black building on your right named “LEVINER PLAZA” on top of building. Continue on Birchridge and notice the one-story office strip with burgundy awnings attached to the tall black building (LEVINER PLAZA). My office is the last office in that strip away from the tall black building. My office is at the last burgundy awning. Look inside the glass and you will see ALTERNATIVES FOR FAMILY CRISIS, SUITE G in silver letters on the wall. Park in that lot and come in.

If you are coming from the south on HWY 59 (traveling north), you will exit off of HWY 59 at the HUMBLE/FM 1960 exit. Continue on the service road all the way to the top of the bridge over HWY 59. Take a left at the bridge over HWY 59 and continue straight in the far right lane until Pappacito’s restaurant (about two blocks). Take a right at Pappacito’s, coming into the Deerbrook Mall area. Take a left at the first STOP sign and come around the back of the mall, passing the movie theater parking, and continuing all the way to the STOP sign at FOLEY’S (soon to become MACY’S). As you are stopped at that STOP sign, look to your left and see the tall black building named “LEVINER PLAZA.” Notice the one-story office strip attached to the tall black building. My office is the last office in that strip away from the tall black building at the last burgundy awning. Turn left and come down that little ‘arm’ to the STOP sign, continue across that street and come into my parking lot. Look inside the glass and you will see ALTERNATIVES FOR FAMILY CRISIS, suite G in silver letters on the wall. Park in that lot and come in.
If you are coming from the east or west, probably the easiest way is to come across on FM 1960 and get to the bridge over HWY 59 in Humble. From that point, you can use the above directions for people coming from the south, traveling north on HWY 59.

6. What is the benefit of attending the workshops, and how do I know which workshop to attend?

All three of the workshops that I do throughout the year are the most time efficient, cost effective ways for couples, individuals, and parents to learn the essentials for having healthy, long-term love relationships. The only workshop of the three that restricts who can attend is the couples’ “GETTING THE LOVE YOU WANT” weekend workshop. That workshop is created by Harville Hendrix, PhD and requires a Certified IMAGO Workshop Presenter to teach and requires the couple to attend. The “KEEPING THE LOVE YOU FIND” workshop for individuals is also Hendrix’s workshop based on his book by that name. It requires a Certified IMAGO Workshop Presenter to teach and anyone can attend that workshop. “PARENTING THAT WORKS” workshop is also based on IMAGO Relationship Theory, which was created by Harville Hendrix, PhD and Helen LaKelly Hunt, PhD. This workshop can be attended by parents, single parents, grandparents, blended-parent families, expectant parents, day-care workers, court ordered parents, and anyone who has the health and safety of a child within their care.

All people hoping to have a long-term, committed love relationship
need the information in these workshops, and there is no less
expensive, quicker or better way to get this information out to
people. There is a very high level of satisfaction reported by all the
participants of these workshops. Please take a few minutes to read
about each one and the comments from the participants. Perhaps,
this opportunity is just what you have been seeking.

7. How do I sign up for the workshops?

You may email me from this website from the “Contact Us” page or call my main number at 281-358-3299. I begin taking deposits to reserve your place about TWO MONTHS prior to the workshops. I accept VISA, MasterCard, and American Express for all the workshops and my private practice, as well as checks or cash.
