One-on-One Sessions - $100

You don’t have to go through this alone. I will sit down with you for 2 hours and help you search for and reach out to mental healthcare providers. Over the years I’ve developed a simple system that has helped take some of the frustration and exhaustion out of provider searching. Though it still can be a daunting task despite a good system, which is why I will be there to support you through it. If you need to shed some tears of frustration, talk through goals for care, or ask questions about what to expect, I will hold space for you to let it out and talk it through so we can get you the help you deserve. In our session we will cover the following: 

  • Create a list of criteria for providers 

  • Writing out goals for care

  • Search for therapists, psychiatrists, and other mental health practitioners

  • Search for support groups and other types of mental health support 

  • Organize your provider search 

  • Send emails and make calls to potential providers 

  • Write a list of questions to ask providers in initial appointments 

  • Ask questions about what to expect
