FAQs
What are your session rates
My rates are $95 for a 50 min individual session, $125 for 50 min couples sessions and $150 for a family session of 3 or more members. Family sessions are typically 75 or 90 min depending on the size and ages of the family.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept insurance at this time. That stated, I am willing to have conversations with those for whom my price point is prohibitive and who are committed to engaging in their therapeutic work. Always ask!
Where are sessions held?
My office is downtown Colorado Springs, directly above the Odyssey Gastropub at 313 N Tejon Street. My office windows looks out over Tejon. I also offer online counseling sessions, although I strongly prefer in person because so much of the counseling relationship includes body language, much of which is lost online.
How often will we meet?
Typically, and especially as the counseling relationship is getting developed, clients engage in counseling once a week. Meeting more frequently may be beneficial in some circumstances. After the counseling relationship has been established, and significant progress has been made around clients' therapeutic work, clients may want to drop down to having sessions every other week or once a month.
How do I know if counseling is right for me?
Counseling is right for you if you’re feeling alone, lost, overwhelmed, confused or stuck in any area of your internal or external life.
How Will I know when I am “done” with counseling?
Typically, people know they’ve concluded their acute need for counseling when they don’t have much to talk about in session, and/or when they’ve shifted enough that whatever was causing them distress is no longer hitting in the same way…or they’ve gained the tools to better manage that distress.
Clients are always welcome to re-engage with me whenever they’re facing new life challenges or transitions.
Will you give me homework?
It’s common that by the end of a session, some new insight, skill, or sense of intentionality has floated to the surface. Sometimes that gets framed as “homework,” but more often, it’s simply an invitation—to interact with a part of yourself or your life from a different vantage point.
Can I swear in therapy?
Indeed. I have to work to keep colorful language out of sessions. I’m happy to keep it mild, if that is your preference, and I invite my clients to be their most real, raw and audacious self in the counseling room.
Do you ever tell people what to do or give advice?
Most of the time, it’s not the counselor’s job to tell you what to do. That said, I often invite clients into an imaginative process…wondering what it might feel like to see something differently, or to shift a well-worn pattern from one direction to another.
Counseling isn’t prescriptive. It’s an inquiry.
