About Us
Communication is Helping
Ministry's Mission.
Bring an end to arguments & anger .
I can design your counseling
from a communication standpoint. Our process provides support
and a way to experience intimacy.
Counseling is tailored to meet your individual needs. It is not my purpose to change your beliefs but to help you identify and share
them with others.
Helping Ministry
was founded in May 2001.
It is a member of The Association for the Integration of the Whole Person, (AIWP)
a non-profit organization (#95-3455451) |

Relationhip counseling is sometimes referred to as pastoral counseling. It is
help with life's challenges respecting your particular religious beliefs while seeing you as a whole person. This is not mental health counseling (please see Life
Transitions for mental health issues).
Fear is what keeps us apart
which can result in pain and suffering. Love requires us to respect and trust
one another.

I was born and raised on
Long Island where I completed my undergraduate studies in philosophy
at Stonybrook University (SUNY). I earned a masters degree in 1981 from Wright State in communication skills (Masters in personal
counseling). In
1989 my wife & I founded Life
Transitions Inc., a group private practice after the State of Florida certified me as an Addictions Professional. Life Transitions provides chemical dependency and mental health counseling
services. I was ordained a relationship counselor
by AIWP in 2001 which also established the non-profit Helping Ministry of AIWP. |
If you want to develop your relationships
then you will find your experience at Helping Ministry rewarding. You may involve spouse, children, co-workers/managers,
second marriage partners including the special challenge of bringing
children together into a new household. My communication
model was designed to help you overcome the fears that might be involved in the process.

| My book, Helping
Not Fixing, was written as a manual in learning
the difference between enabling and truly helping others. |
