Letter sent this afternoon to two local therapists

Good afternoon!

Are you currently accepting new clients?

I am in the process of leaving a highly dysfunctional marriage of nearly 30 years.  We have two children, boys aged 17 and 15.  And I am trying to sort out how my relationships are going to work in the future, wrestling with such questions as: what boundaries can/should I set up with my soon-to-be-ex-wife? what do I do to be the best father I can to my sons? how can I help them (as well as myself) navigate this transition? how do we build a nurturing life on the other side?  And so on.

A dear friend of mine is a client of --- --- here in town.  She asked him for recommendations who I could see to work through these topics, and he gave her a couple of names of which yours was one.  Hence my question whether you are accepting new clients?  And if yes, what’s the next step?  To iron out practical questions?  (costs, times, insurance, etc)  Or less tangible ones? (e.g., is this the right match?)  Please let me know how to proceed ….

Thanks very much, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Best regards,
Hosea Tanatu
