Working together

The practical shape of it, so you know what you would be agreeing to.

First, a conversation

Before anything is booked or paid for, we talk — about what you are looking for, whether this is the right fit, and what it costs. If it is not a fit I will say so. That conversation is not a commitment on either side.

Where we meet

In person on the Front Range, or online anywhere in Colorado — whichever you will actually keep.

In person is better when it can happen, and online is better than a meeting you skip because of a drive. Plenty of people do both depending on the week. Working with people outside Colorado may come later; right now it does not.

How often

Whatever cadence you will actually keep. Weekly suits most people starting out. A rhythm you can hold beats an ambitious one you cannot.

What we do

You bring what is in front of you. We talk it through. You leave having decided something — usually small and specific, because those are the ones that get done. Next time I ask about it. That is most of it, honestly; the value is in it being regular and in the person across from you having been there, not in a technique.

What it costs

Fees are discussed in the first conversation, before anything is booked. Nothing is charged before you have agreed to it in writing.

Before we start

There is a written agreement covering scope, fees, cancellation, confidentiality and its limits, and what happens in a crisis. You get it in advance, not on the day. Nothing begins until it is signed.

Ending it

You can stop at any point and you do not owe me a reason. If I think you need something this is not — therapy, medical care, a different kind of support — I will tell you plainly, and that conversation is part of the job rather than a failure of it.
