ADVOCACY-COUNSELING ENROLLMENT

The National Center For Men provides telephone consultations by advocate-counselors experienced in a variety of issues of concern to men.

Counseling is strictly confidential.

Our approach is to help you in a way that is both practical and supportive. We offer comprehensive, expert analysis of your problems and creative solutions. Consultations are thorough and usually intense. We cover a lot of ground in two hours.

The fee for counseling is not tax-deductible because it is a fee for services rendered, not a charitable contribution. We charge for our services so that we will survive to counsel people who will need our help next year and the year after that. When you retain NCM, you will be getting valuable help for yourself at the same time you will be helping others.

Update for August, 2010: Our counseling program is currently overbooked and you may now have to wait a few weeks before speaking with an NCM counselor. We are doing our best to schedule timely appointments. If you need urgent assistance, please call our office when you enroll.

Fee Schedule

The fee for your initial consultation is $180. This includes the time we spend reviewing documents, case histories and summaries you send to us, a two hour telephone conference for you with an experienced NCM advocate-counselor, and one follow-up conference. We request a small donation of $15, in addition to your counseling fee, when you first retain us but you do not have to make a donation to receive NCM counseling. You may omit the donation, if you wish. There is never an additional charge for document review or a follow-up consultation.

Additional consultations beyond the follow-up, if you require them, will be billed at $90 for sessions which will last at least one-hour. The fee for an initial consultation from between one to two hours, without document review or follow-up is $120. We recommend document review if you have a complicated problem.

When sending documents, please send us reasonably sized e-mail attachments or mail documents to NCM at Post Office Box 531, Coram, NY 11727. Include a SASE if you want your documents returned.

Once you have completed your enrollment on this page, please use our contact form to send us your contact information, including your telephone number. We will call you within a few days of our receiving your material to schedule a telephone conference at your convenience.

If you live in the New York metropolitan area, we can make referrals to excellent NCM attorneys. Please let us know if you will want a referral. (NCM counseling is not a substitute for the representation or advice you can get from a lawyer.)
