Frequently asked questions.

What should I expect when I reach out?

Our first goal is to determine whether we can be helpful to you. That entails looking at your current situation and whether our skills are a good fit for meeting your goals. Second, and at least as important if not more so, is do we think we have rapport with each other.  This can usually be accomplished with a brief complementary call.

If this is your first time reaching out for help on an issue you are facing you may be uncomfortable. That’s ok. We get it. The more you can share with us about how you are feeling, the more we can help you meet your goals.

Please give us a call for a 15 minute complimentary phone consultation. This initial conversation will give us a good sense of whether we’re a  good fit to work together, you can ask any questions you may have, and we’ll walk you through what to expect during our first in-person meeting.

We are currently accepting new clients. We accept credit cards, cash and Venmo. We also accept health savings account (HSA/FSA) cards for psychotherapy only.

Pat’s Fee: $125-$200 therapeutic hour (45-50 minutes)

We believe everyone should be able to access help, so we will work on a sliding scale basis as needed..
