Coaching and Counseling Plans

Dive Into Possibility!

Some key things to know for all clients, about counseling and coaching:  

• Plans are offered below for private-pay and out-of-network counseling clients.
• These plans are available to all coaching clients.
• Coaching services are not covered by health insurance because coaching is not considered health care.
• Counseling clients who use insurance: Your insurance will be billed. Please be sure to check your in- or out-of-network status before starting.
• For counseling clients using out-of-network insurance benefits: I will provide a statement for you to submit for reimbursement.
• For clients who would like to use Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) benefits, you will need to check to ensure counseling or coaching is covered. If so, I will provide a statement for you to submit for reimbursement. 

Sessions

Consultation (30 minutes)  –  an initial, free phone chat to get to know your needs and situation, and if we are the best fit for you and discover whether you’d like to work with me.

Welcome-First Session (90 minutes)  –  an introduction, to flesh out a fuller understanding of what brings you to working with me.  It’s also a working session, as we get started right away.

Regular Sessions (60 minutes)  –  weekly (or biweekly), these are where the counseling or coaching processes happen.

Special Session (45 minutes)   –  used occasionally for very specific situations in counseling and coaching. 

Counseling and Coaching Plans

Once we complete your Welcome-First Session, you may want to sign up for a plan, below.

These optional plans are available to private-pay and out-of-network counseling clients, and all coaching clients.

Why do I present these plans in time-frames?

• Though all services are tailored specifically to the individual client, I’ve designed these plans based on my understanding of what serves clients, and depending on the situation.
• My sense of the time it takes to establish the working relationship, practice, build skills, and create momentum for clients informs this, too.
• A number of clients have expressed that they like the structure of knowing when, how often, and how long our time together will be—the big picture.

FAQ’s About the Process

Frequency of sessions:  Very often, clients begin with weekly sessions, then taper to biweekly when they feel that will work and they’re ready for a longer interval between sessions.

The payment process:  Many people like the convenience of having a plan set up and prepaid or with payments.

Pay-as-you-go option:  “A la Carte” style counseling and coaching is the “no-plan plan.”  See more below about scheduling one session at a time if you’d rather take an unstructured approach.

Plan Options for Scheduling and Paying for Services

(For Counseling Private-Pay and Out-of-Network, and for Coaching)

The 7 Month Plan:  $1800.00

For the support needed to leverage and strengthen your resources, build desired skills, deepen resiliency, and integrate major life changes.  Choose this plan if you are navigating a very challenging time or something in your life that’s very difficult or complex, when you feel stuck, or without direction.  Often a good choice for counseling clients.

15 hours.  Includes a toolkit of materials, handouts, and information; support via email, between sessions; and optional use of one or more smartphone apps, in some cases.

For extended, systematic, and highly immersive work.

(Note:  This fee also applies if you have committed to the counseling program Befriending Anxiety)

The 5 Month Plan:  $1320.00

Ideal for when you are confronting a big life challenge—or opportunity.  If you’re a returning client, this would be a good option, too:  We have done some great work together in the past, and we’ll pick up right where we left off!

Recommended for focused work when you are clear on what needs to shift.  For example, when you are considering a new, potential direction; or you are on the verge of change and you want support through a short-term, difficult transition or an immediate, challenging situation—brief counseling or coaching is the way to go.

7 hours.  Includes support in the form of email, between sessions.

For a laser-like focus on targeted, shorter-term work.  This option is ideal for returning clients, too!
