Initial phone Consultation
20 minutes

Complimentary

The initial consultation is the hardest step to take but probably the easiest part of the process. Once you reach out to me via the “Book Now” button below, you’ll receive an email from me typically within 24 hours on a regular business day. If it’s the weekend, give me a little more time! I’ll give you a few options to choose from for us to connect via phone. During that call, we’ll talk for about what you want to get out of counseling. We’ll make sure that my voice doesn’t totally annoy you. You’ll get a sense of my personality and see if it’s your style. I’ll make sure what you’re working through is within my area of expertise and I’ll answer any questions you have about the process. And then we’ll talk logistics: payment, scheduling, paperwork, etc.

Individual Counseling
50 minutes

$180 per session
Out of Network

Sessions are 50 minutes long and I usually suggest weekly or biweekly appointments at first to build momentum and get us comfortable working together. Sessions tend to go better when we set an agenda: 2-3 items to discuss depending on the intensity. Or it might be just one big giant thing you want to explore. It might change from week to week. And that’s expected because a lot of times we come to therapy for one thing that is happening and then we realize that there’s a bunch of other shit to unpack and explore. That’s OK. Each session typically ends with some type of commitment. Some people like goals, some like to call them intentions. I consider them things that you want to focus on to provide different meaning in your life. It might be super straightforward: no scrolling before bed. Or it might be a little more intangible:  stop talking so negatively to myself. Full disclosure, that last one takes a bit more time.

cancellation policy

Life happens. I understand that. But in order for therapy to work, you need to show up! And if you don’t, or you cancel without enough notice for me to do anything with that time I set aside just for you, then I have to make sure my time is protected. That’s where this fee comes in. I allow each of my clients one instance to be human—that means if you don’t show for your appointment or you cancel with less than 24 hours for one appointment, I waive the fee. After that, I charge it. Unless there is an emergency situation that arises which will be discussed on a case-by-case basis. If I’m being honest, most of my clients don’t have much of an issue with this fee because they show up consistently. We talk about it in the beginning of therapy and then usually never discuss it again.
