|  RE: SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear Client's
I will take this opportunity to elaborate upon my experience’s and credentials in the Healthcare field since 1977 after receiving my degree (BA) 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 & Chairman of the board. My duties expanded to directing the administration while I simultaneously maintained a full counseling practice under the auspices and supervision of the Foundation and the senior psychologist's and psychiatrist's on staff.
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 U.S.
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 regarding the insurance industry’s involvement in the mental health care profession before numereous Federal district and circuit Courts.
Presently, I am the Director and sole proprietor of ;American Marriage Counseling Association (AMCA), National Suicide Prevention (NSP), 24 HR Counselor (24HR) and Rape Crisis Counselor (RCC). My primary functions include Director of Operations & Case Management.
