Linda Martinez-Lewi, Ph.D. provides consulting services over the
telephone to specifically assist those who are dealing with individuals
in their lives (spouses, partners, family members, business
associates, friends) who have a narcissistic personality disorder. She
assists clients by listening intently, asking specific questions and
jointly developing successful strategies for dealing with these
individuals.
Telephone consultation is not
psychotherapy. Martinez-Lewi is trained in psychotherapy but does not
engage in the practice of psychotherapy with her telephone consultation
clients. A telephone consultant does not treat psychological or
psychiatric disorders. For specific diagnosis, treatment and course of
action for mental or physical health problems you should consult a
licensed mental health professional who can discuss your psychological
and physical symptoms that are of concern to you. In entering into the
consultation relationship you are agreeing that if any mental health
difficulties arise during the course of the consultation relationship,
you will notify Linda Martinez-Lewi immediately so that she can discuss
with you obtaining appropriate mental health care from a licensed and
qualified psychotherapist.
It is agreed that a standard time for our telephone
consultation is one hour for a fee $100.00 for each one hour session.
The consultant calls the client at a prearranged time and telephone
number.
The information you share with Dr. Martinez-Lewi will remain
strictly confidential unless (1) You give written specific permission
to release the information or (2) If you report to me, or I have reason
to believe, that you are the perpetrator or victim of child or elder
abuse, I am obligated by law to report it to the authorities. (3) If you
indicate that you intend to hurt or kill yourself, or someone else, I
must act to notify any potential victims and the authorities. Be aware
that legal privilege may not apply to consultation; in other words,
consultation records may be able to be subpoenaed. Some means of
communication, such as wireless telephones and e-mail, may not be
secure from eavesdropping, so if you agree to their use you are
indicating your agreement to utilize a communication medium that may
not be confidential.
