Richard D. Garis

At the present, I will not be on-call on any day. I will accept referrals from family physicians, psychiatrists, and social workers. My usual fee is $75/hour and I will have a sliding scale depending on the person’s ability to pay. There is no FREE or pro-bono services. If clients need emergency services, they will be referred to the appropriate hospital or mental health facility. If medication refills are needed they need to call their private physician. If clients want Phone: therapy, they will be billed the same as if they came into the office. NO home visits will be made at any time. I will do counseling through e-mail, but the fee will be the same as an office visit.
