                                   Why FSN?                                                              

 As a prospective client,  you probably are asking  yourself, "Why would I want the  services offered by FSN for my coaching or counseling connection?"  This is a good question everyone  should ask when looking for assistance, advice, or direction in life.  We welcome inquiries about methodologies, education, licenses, training, and other information that will help you in making an intelligent decision; that will eliminate barriers;  and that will allow  your sessions to be uplifting and meaningful.

 

To assist your efforts to search for a counseling source that is best suited to your needs, we have endeavored to provide some of the elements the founder considers somewhat unique or special about the proactive delivery techniques utilized by FSN.  The key features in this approach will provide the comfort needed by prospective clients in  their sessions.

 

Clients are offered the following:

 

  • Ensured client confidentiality and privacy relating to information disclosures made in private sessions except when information  revealed by a client indicates there has been or could be abuse of children, disabled or elderly  people, or where loss of life may be eminent.

 

  • Improved security of confidential intake information  because clients do not have to go to an office where people may see them or where the client's records may be seen by non-professional staff who are not sworn  by professional ethics.

 

  •  Counseling to provide help for grief or crisis invention issues, substance abuse, depression, anger,  phobias, resentments, sexuality issues, self-esteem, confidence, family issues, marital issues, unruly  children, and/or pre-marital concerns without having to leave your home.

 

  • Immediate counseling and guidance; i.e. available promptly by email or by telephone and availability of a detailed TAP Report  in 10 to 15 minutes (see "TAP Report" in the menu of web site pages to the left).

 

  • Special arrangement may be made for participation in an Encounter Group (if you live near Montgomery, Alabama).

 

  • Special payment arrangements may be made by agreement, for all coaching and counseling services and other ministerial and/or chaplaincy work.

 

The founder of FSN, David Barrett, has  several counseling certifications, a clinical licensure, and three degrees.  These include a BS from Northern Michigan University; an MBA from the University of  Wisconsin; and a MAR  (Master of Arts in Religion with a concentration in Christian Counseling) from Bethany Theological Seminary.

Other credentials include a CPC  (Certified Pastoral Counselor),  a CTC  (Certified Temperament Counselor), and a LCPC (Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor - license BA42417) - these credentials are through the National  Christian Counselors  Association (NCCA) that is located in Sarasota, Florida.

 

In 1997, he completed ministerial ordination as a Christian Pastoral Counselor and in 2007 obtained a Chaplain's Endorsement - from the National Conservative Christian Church, a non-denominational church in Sarasota, Florida, where he obtained his ordination. 

 

David and his wife Gail live in Montgomery, Alabama.  Gail assists in his counseling practice and is a valued  administrative and advisory assistant with difficult cases. They share a lifestyle that is meaningful and blessed in many ways.  They are members  of Christ Church, an Anglican Church in Montgomery, Alabama.  Their five  children are grown and lead productive lives in their home communities. They are the proud grandparents of eight grandchildren.

 

New techniques are being researched to enrich your shared time with FSN.  The founder welcomes pre-counseling inquiries and will strive to satisfy your counseling, life coaching, and chaplaincy requests for all  sessions conducted on your behalf. 

 

If you have a request for sacramental baptism or eucarist (communion), a wedding, or a funeral, they may be arranged in groups or privately if you are at home and ill, hospitalized, or in a hospice situation.
