Here’s a personal statement from Dr. Ransen:
I am now seeing patients at my private office in Delray Beach in the afternoons. Everyone finds this office quieter, more private, and more comfortable. There’s never any waiting, and the fees are much lower there.
I will gladly work with you on a sliding scale. Money should not come between you and the first-rate therapy you deserve. For those who may be unemployed and under severe financial stress, I’ll do my best to arrange a fee you can live with. I also honor combat veterans with discounts and I offer reduced fees to seniors on fixed incomes.
I do not participate in insurance plans. My role is to help you go where you want to go and be who you want to be. Insurance companies demand to know what “mental disorder” you have, and how I plan to “cure” you. A full description of my policy regarding insurance is here.
You won’t see me just nod and say “uh-huh” every couple of minutes, or keep asking you, “How does that make you feel?” Together, we will build solutions using the strengths you already have. You are the expert on your life and ultimately the solutions will come from you. The solutions are practical, simple and proven effective. I will never understand what it’s like to be you, so I don’t often give advice. I am not Dr. Phil. There’s no reason for you to suffer one more day from depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, sleeping problems, or low self-esteem. If you need marriage counseling, or help with relationships, you’ve come to the right place. Just call 561-865-6112 any time for an appointment within days.
I adhere to the highest standards of ethics and confidentiality, as found in the ethics codes for psychologists and family therapists. I will never reveal any information about you unless ordered to by a court, required by law or in response to your written request. All my files are computer-encrypted and password-protected.
Just call (561)
865-6112 at any time, 24/7. If I
cannot answer, I promise to return your call promptly if
you leave a message (no one can hear your message except
me). Be sure to tell me the best time(s) to call, and
whether it's OK for me to leave a message. If you wish to
schedule an appointment, just include two or three
convenient dates and times (after 11:00). I will reply
quickly with a confirmation.
I hope to hear from you. This could be the decision that
starts you on a healthy new direction in
your life! I urge you to do the right
thing by not waiting until matters have gotten out
of control. The sooner we identify a problem, the easier it
will be to build a lasting solution.
