Note that this general counseling session does not suggest that a patient/client-practitioner relationship has been established. If you feel you are in need of psychotherapy or clinical services please do not hesitate to seek the services of a licensed clinical psychologist in your community. General counseling includes consultation and psycho-education with an emphasis on facilitating the exploration of possible approaches to your individual situation. Note also that responses to additional e-mail consultation at dr.bachmeieriol@live.com are psycho-educational in nature and do not suggest that a patient/client relationship has been established. If you are in need of clinical services, we will do our best to refer you to a qualified on line clinician to meet your needs. However, currently access to Muslim clinicians are limited. We certainly hope to improve this situation in-sha-'Allah and want to bring you the best services possible.
