Dear Friend's and Client's,

I will take this opportunity to elaborate upon my experience’s and credentials in the HealthCare field since 1977 after receiving my batchelors degree in psychology from the University of California in Santa Barbara, California and post graduate training in Clinical psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology in Berkeley,California. I then began a professional Practice of providing counseling & psychotherapy with my mentor and supervisor, Dr. Donald Slutzky, M.D. (Psychiatrist/Physician).I functioned as his registered psychological assistant in his private practice for about two years.

Thereafter, in 1979, I founded Humanistic Mental Health Foundation(HMHF) a California non- profit organization and served in the capacity of director and chairman of the board.My duties expanded to directing the administration, while simultaneously maintaining a full counseling practice under the auspices and supervision of the Foundation and the senior staff psychologists and psychiatrists.

In 1985, I retired from active counseling /psychotherapy practice after over ten thousand clinical hours so as to expand our operations. In 1989,HMHF became the primary national suicide prevention organization in the country. During this period, I also developed and managed Holistic treatment programs for psychiatric hospitals.

My studies and interest in human behavior, psychology and the law have also afforded me the opportunity to bring certain important and serious concerns over the insurance industry’s involvement in the mental health care profession before the U.S.Federal District and Circuit Courts.

Presently, I am the Director and sole proprietor of 24 HR Counselor(24HR),International Suicide Prevention.Org(ISP)Rape Crisis Counselor(RCC),American Marriage Counseling Association(AMCA)and National Suicide Prevention(NSP). My primary functions include director of operations & case management.

You may also be interested to know that our organization contracts with licensed mental health professionals who are trusted members of our staff and as independent contractors they receive compensation for their professional services directly from NSP.

Further, as director of case management services, my involvement may include amongst a variety of other possibilities, the joint development of a plan of priority action, health placement recomendations, referrals and/or coordination with a variety of other professional resources that are customized for each client's special situation,needs,interests and so forth. The financial arrangements for case management services rendered to you directly or on your behalf are waived and free of charges for standard case management.
