Financial Arrangements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because I do not take insur\u00adance, I offer a slid\u00ading scale, from $50-$150 per ses\u00adsion. The first meet\u00ading is explorato\u00adry, and free of charge.  If we feel it appro\u00adpri\u00adate to con\u00adtin\u00adue after that,<\/span> we\u2019ll agree on a per ses\u00adsion fee in accord with your cir\u00adcum\u00adstances,<\/span> and set a fre\u00adquen\u00adcy of work \u2013<\/span> gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly start\u00ading at<\/span> once a week, although a greater or less\u00ader fre\u00adquen\u00adcy may sub\u00adse\u00adquent\u00adly become appro\u00adpri\u00adate. If so desired, cre\u00adative process work or work<\/span> with recur\u00adring<\/span> dreams may be engaged on a less reg\u00adu\u00adlar sched\u00adule; that is, on more of a \u201cwhen mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal man\u00adi\u00adfests\u201d basis.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My psy\u00adcho\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal edu\u00adca\u00adtion has been cen\u00adtered on psy\u00adcho\u00addy\u00adnam\u00adic psy\u00adchother\u00ada\u00adpy, espe\u00adcial\u00adly Jun\u00adgian and Post-Freudi\u00adan approach\u00ades to the psy\u00adche. Gestalt the\u00ado\u00adry and prac\u00adtice, Imag\u00adi\u00adnal Psy\u00adchol\u00ado\u00adgy, Erick\u00adson\u00adian hyp\u00adnother\u00ada\u00adpy, and Inter\u00adnal Fam\u00adi\u00adly Sys\u00adtems have also been strong influ\u00adences. I received my B.A. from Amherst Col\u00adlege, my M.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design, and my M.A. (Coun\u00adsel\u00ading Psy\u00adchol\u00ado\u00adgy with a Depth Ori\u00aden\u00adta\u00adtion) from the Paci\u00adfi\u00adca Grad\u00adu\u00adate Insti\u00adtute.

Important Note<\/strong><\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pri\u00ador to COVID-19, I only worked vir\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly with peo\u00adple who I\u2019d already estab\u00adlished face-to-face rap\u00adport with, and who were tem\u00adporar\u00adi\u00adly out of state or out of the coun\u00adtry. To my sur\u00adprise (and to the sur\u00adprise of the major\u00adi\u00adty of my col\u00adleagues) the assump\u00adtion that suc\u00adcess\u00adful ther\u00ada\u00adpy was depen\u00addent on prac\u00adti\u00adtion\u00ader and client being present in the same room has turned out to be untrue. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until the pan\u00addem\u00adic is well and tru\u00adly over, I will only be work\u00ading vir\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly, on an encrypt\u00aded HIPAA-com\u00adpli\u00adant plat\u00adform. And while I do look for\u00adward to get\u00adting back to in-per\u00adson work, my expe\u00adri\u00adence with inter\u00adfac\u00ading elec\u00adtron\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly has already led me to open my prac\u00adtice to clients who do not live with\u00adin dri\u00adving dis\u00adtance and whom I may nev\u00ader actu\u00adal\u00adly meet in the flesh.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
