Each person is unique, and I want to take the time to get to know you. For adults, an initial consultation is two 45 minute sessions. For teenagers, it’s three 45 minute sessions—one with parents, one with the teen, and one with parents and the teen together.

Once we agree on a plan, therapy sessions are typically scheduled once a week. Sessions focused on other approaches, like supplements or medication, can be less frequent.

All sessions take place by secure video conference. Call, text, or email me if you would like to learn more.
