Initial Consultation

This consists of a full intake interview which goes into your full history including medical/psychological treatments. We always want an authorization and/or clearance from your treating physician before we will do any work with you since we want to be assured that all medical and psychological benefits have been sought out by you before you seek our assistance. If time permits and we have authorizations, then we may be able to work with you on the first visit. You may call in advance to obtain the necessary forms to be signed by your medical or psychological practitioner. Cost is $125.00 for the Initial Consultation.

Regular Visit

Once we have evaluated you and determined that you have been cleared by your medical and/or psychological practitioner, we can then conduct our work with you. We find that we are adept at feeling what is going on within you by first speaking with you and then watching for your responses as the visit progresses. Most people are surprised at how much is felt by us about their condition as we work with them. A visit consists of pastoral counseling supplemented with Emotional Freedom Technique, Hypnosis, Reiki and Integrated Energy Technique as required. We do not anticipate or prejudge what will be needed to assist you. We simply feel your needs as they arise and address them. Cost is $100.00 for a Regular Visit.

All visits run approximately one hour depending upon your needs. Initial consultations usually run longer.

All of our Services are in the nature of Pastoral Counseling. We are both ordained Interfaith Ministers affiliated with the Sanctuary of Peace and Tranquility, located in Huntington Station. Neither Ted or Maria are medically or psychologically trained and neither of them hold any degrees in those fields or any related fields. Neither of them hold themselves out to the public to be healers or counselors other than ministers who believe that all “healing” is an “inside job.”

This means that all healing takes place within the person who needs improvement and balancing in their life. It can only be done from the inside out - with the help and assistance of God.

As Interfaith Ministers we do not advocate any one religion or religious belief. We do not proselytize for anyone to follow any specific religion or practice any religious procedures or protocol. We believe that everyone is in exactly the right place for themselves at this point in time and we honor wherever they are right now. That means that however you present yourself to us when we meet, you are okay in our eyes. We see each and every person as perfect in the eyes of God and we don’t believe that we should substitute our judgment for that of God at any time. Therefore, we start from that perspective and move forward from there.

Our services are intended to provide you with emotional support and insights that will assist you to find yourself in what we call “life.” It has been our experience that each of us finds ourselves at our own pace and in our own way. We have also found that we are usually our own harshest judges. Our role is to continue to see you without judgment and with an accepting and open heart. This will help you to release those self-defeating judgments and find a new way to be in the world.

We believe that all healing is ultimately a spiritual experience. If the spirit is impaired, the body will follow along shortly and become impaired physically as well. The mind falls into the same pattern.

Our perspective is that if you can address the spirit through the energetic channels of the body and subconscious mind, we can assist the person in re-balancing the body and returning it to health - both mental and physical health.

We generally find that the greatest problem our people have is that they are simply unaware of what is going on in their lives and bodies. They get so wrapped up in “doing” and “going” that they forget about “Being.” Our spiritual approach is that each of us will be a lot better off if we can simply “Be Here Now” most of the time. Now that probably sounds overly simplistic, but it is actually accurate. If you can be here in the present moment more time than not each day, your life will be far better than it is now.

To be present is a formidable task for many people because they spend the vast majority of their time either planning what they’re going to do next, or they dwell on what’s happened to them before. Both of these are ways of avoiding being in the present moment of Now. This is because when you are thinking about the past or the future, you must do so within the context of your conscious mind.

When you are in the present moment, you are no longer in the conscious mind, you are then in the heart of your very existence and are simply “being here” without thinking. When that happens, you can be emotionally responsive and present with whomever you are with or by yourself. And you can feel comfortable at all times. This is the approach we take with each of the people who see us for help. Once that level of comfort is attained, most other things tend to fall into place and life becomes much more enjoyable.

In order to accomplish this shift in perspective, it is often necessary to stir up whatever is holding you back and break the patterns that lock you into your present viewpoint. We never force “The Truth” on anyone. We have discovered that everybody knows the truth from within themselves. We simply seek to re-awaken that truth within you so that you can live your life without all of the patterns that held you back in the past.

To do this we use Emotional Freedom Technique and the other techniques mentioned above to loosen up the conscious mind’s hold on you and allow you to revisit your subconscious mind once again and awaken to the present moment of now.
