GOLD: All of the above, PLUS a written report, summarizing results of evaluation, diagnoses, and recommendations for treatment and/or accommodations, PLUS 6 individualized psychotherapy/treatment sessions- $2100

Any additional therapy appointments- $ 150 each

What are the benefits of Concierge Services? Faster appointment services (within a day or few days), direct phone, text, or email access, more time for deeper work, or integration of multiple approaches, no diagnostic labels, higher confidentiality, more discreet experience.

I’m so sorry, but we are not accepting new clients until after the first of the year. I understand it’s difficult getting started with a new therapist due to wait times. It seems the last couple of years, people are coming around to realizing how important mental health is, and are reaching out! I encourage you to keep reaching out - get on waiting lists, etc while our part of the health service industry strives to catch up with the needs in our community.

Greetings! We're making masks optional in our office now. I can feel Spring in the air! Can you? I love this quote by Carl Rogers, famous psychologist! American psychologist Carl Rogers, one of the founding fathers of psychotherapy research, presents this “curious paradox” in his 1961 book “On Becoming a Person: A Therapist’s View of Psychotherapy.” Rogers encourages us to stop focusing our energy on trying to improve ourselves and simply learn to accept who we are, flaws and all. Ironically, it’s often that very acceptance that creates space for personal growth and change.

It’s been a difficult year for so many I know… clients, friends, and family. We will carry on, with love in our hearts and hope for better times. Goodbye 2021. Tomorrow’s a new day.

I hope you are having a great summer! Alas, we can semi-socialize again. However, as we are now dealing with having the Delta Variant of COVID among us, I encourage you to continue being very careful. We are far from having this behind us! In doing our part to prevent further spreading of this virus, especially since so many in our area are refusing to get vaccinated, we are REQUIRING MASK WEARING AND DISTANCING WHEN IN OUR OFFICE. Even if we've been vaccinated.

You may be asking "But, why?". My answer is, because there is the unknown question of whether vaccinated people can still carry and spread the virus to others, (according to numerous health departments and ongoing research taking place across the country and the world). The research isn't complete on this yet. However, our office is choosing to err on the side of caution.

Please mask up before coming through our doors. We are such a small office space, so hopefully, you will choose to err on the side of caution with the rest of us, so we can continue working together.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer and are remembering to deliberately take time away each day from technology! It's making us all ADHD! I'll be back soon to share more on this topic.

Hey! Life is getting somewhat back to normal eh? As a human species, and in spite of all the stress we continue to experience as humans in this world, I encourage you to have HOPE. HOPE is what gives us the will to keep going. HOPE comes from various places: our beliefs, our friends, our family, our aspirations, or our new plans or efforts. But HOPE has to arise from within, although we can often gain hope and become inspired by observing or following other people, which is great!

The bottom line is we all need HOPE - We need to find a way of believing that things will get better; and with that belief, we can and will figure out the rest!
