A special message to our Minneapolis clients, past and present...regarding our transition to our Reno/Tahoe Office and Residence...
Linda and I have conducted our Minneapolis
Psychology Practice continuously for the past 35 years
since we began in 1982—the majority of our professional
lives. It has been a challenge and a joy for us
throughout those many years.
As many of you are aware, we have long been
amibivalently toying with our dream of relocating
permanently to the Reno/Tahoe Area, where John can
continue to maintain his private practice there while
also having more time for him and Linda to enjoy their
empty nest years together.
We will always offer telephone consults on a
regular basis, as needed, for our clients.
John will be offering our
3-1/2-day Clearlife Clinic Therapy Intensive at
least twice a year in our Reno, Nevada Office, as soon
as we arrange the appropriate space in our current
Kietzke Lane Office Building.
John will also be physically present
at our Minneapolis office for 4 days
each month. I will be leasing space
from a colleague in the beautiful 1926 Art Deco Loring
Medical Building where we have been located for many
years. My 32-year-long men's therapy group will meet
Mondays once per month for 3 hours from 5-8 pm so that
each member will get adequate group time monthly to do
his work. The fee for this group will be $100.
Out of respect for the very compressed time periods
available to see me, I will expect that you will not
make an appointment unless you are definite about
keeping it. I will require a 36-hour (3-day) advance
cancellation policy for each appointment hour, and if
not honored you will be billed the full fee for that
session. For blocks of time larger than 1 hour, the
cancellation window will double for each additional
hour. It is the only way this could ever possibly work
for me and you.
This is, of course, an experiment for all of us.
As long as it remains financially feasible, I will keep
my Minneapolis practice open once per month for those 4
days.
Feel free to call or email with any concerns,
questions, comments, or suggestions. All input is
welcome—Warmly, John C. Friel, Ph.D.
