If you can't come to Dr. Sehl's New York office, here are some reasons why Telephone Counseling might be appropriate:

• It is more comfortable and less threatening for some people to begin counseling over the phone.
• Locating a counselor can be difficult.Telephone counseling allows you to talk to someone anywhere - from New York to California, and overseas.
• Lately it has become increasingly more difficult to fit everything into a day's schedule. Telephone counseling can be conducted from one's home, and, in some instances, from one's office, making it more convenient, and sometimes safer, depending upon your location.
