Getting Started

Choose your path.
If you are an individual over the age of 18, please use the contact page to reach out for individual therapy, group therapy, or workshop participation. We will set up a time to talk on the phone for 15-20 minutes to see if we are a good fit for each other. If so, we will decide on a time to meet and I will provide paperwork to be completed before your first session.
If you are part of a group or organization and interested in having us speak, teach, or provide consultation, please email us and we will find a time to chat.
If you are a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in the state of Florida and interested in clinical supervision, please email us.

The Healing Process
Therapy is not a linear process. It would be far easier if we could meet once or twice, we could provide you a list of tasks to complete, and you could see immediate results. That’s just not how it works. (If we find the the magic formula, we will let you know!) There is not a “one size fits all” approach to therapy, so it takes time for us to get to know each other, to build a trusting relationship, and for me to form a treatment plan that is best suited to you and your needs.
If you are someone who likes timelines, we recommend budgeting one year of your time and finances. If you have not experienced any changes over that amount of time, here are some factors to consider:
1) We are not doing our jobs well.
2) You are not applying what you are learning outside of the therapy space.
2) We are not the best fit for each other.
3) You may require a different approach.There are so many good therapists out there and we re certainly not the experts on life. We are always open to having an honest conversation about your care to make sure you are getting exactly what you need.

Pay It Forward
Healing is not only a gift to yourself; it is a gift to your loved ones as well. Healthier individuals build healthier families, healthier communities, healthier cultures, and a healthier world. If you have benefitted from therapy, and have the financial means to help someone else, please consider supporting one of the organizations linked above.
Sometimes we received requests from people who want to pay for someone else’s care. While this is an incredibly generous offer, it is also important to remember that a part of healing is making a personal effort and investment towards healing. Rather than trying to make an appointment or pay for someone, consider donating to an organization that subsidizes mental health care for others, or to an organization in your location that supports liberation for all.
