(Dr. Lieberman is self-referred to the list. His comments:
"Currently in practice for over 17 years, has helped numerous people with FM, ME/CFS. His protocol is without the use of any pharmaceuticals. The keys to his successes with these cases hinges on the testing methods and information gathering used, and his first premise: which is that there is no one cause, nor one solution for any individuals who have been diagnosed with FM, ME/CFS, or have independently come to the conclusion that FM, ME/CFS is what they have.
"Solutions will utilize appropriate chiropractic techniques with adjunctive Designed Clinical Nutrition, when necessary. Patients can notice substantial results within a 4 week timeframe; some take less time, while others may take more. The results are not just temporary, they are lasting. The most non-invasive and effective program we have seen.")

Please see below for additional information: I am a holistic therapist, looking forward to challenging cases from people needing my expertise. Making use of a wide variety of therapies, from verbal to non-verbal, devoting much time on each of the select cases I take, and engaging in colleague consultations, I am often able to help with even the most difficult of issues. I also see children, doing family therapy even for the toughest kids. You'll see the difference family support makes, rather than my just trying to "fix the kid."
I begin with symptom-focused counseling to attempt rapid symptom improvement. When people stay beyond that brief initial period of basic counseling, we move into long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy to find and remedy the problem's root cause.
I encourage people to call me and we can talk about what your particular issues are and how I will be able to help you out. Or, if there is something I can't help you with, I will help you find the best regional expert for your issue. Here are some of the areas I am experienced in:
