Therapy FAQs

What are your therapy rates?

My therapy rates are sliding scale $100-$140/session.

I have reserved 2 weekly sessions at a discounted rate of $50 for BiPOC and/or disabled folks whose income has been negatively impacted by systemic oppression.

How should I prepare for our first therapy session?

In our first session, we will discuss what you are hoping to get out of therapy and what approaches you want to start with. You are invited to come with as much or as little of this figured out in advance. Here are some questions I’m likely to ask you in early sessions:

  • What do you already know about what you are looking for in therapy?
  • What questions do you have to start with?
  • What kinds of therapy (if any) have you tried before?
  • What worked well for you?
  • What didn’t work well for you?
  • What do you need from me in order to build your trust?
  • Do you have specific areas in your life you want to start with?
  • Are you more focused on short-term or long-term goals right now?
  • Do you want to try to make a difference for yourself this week?
  • What are things you want to be different for yourself long term?
  • What ways have worked in the past for you to have self-accountability?
  • Are you happy with the tools you have right now?
  • Are you looking for more self-accountability tools and approaches?

People have different ways of approaching their therapy and I’m happy to do what works best for you. If you don’t want to think about these questions in advance, that’s totally fine! No homework required. If you would like to pick some of these questions that resonate with you, that is also welcome. You can even write out your answers and give them to me to read, if that is more comfortable for you. Again, that is absolutely not required.

My goal in sharing these questions is to demystify the therapy process, give insight into my thinking and process, and disrupt the power dynamic formed by asymmetric information.
