Weekly opt-in protocol

I hold the radical view that people will come to therapy if they find it helpful or useful, and that they won’t if they don’t. Thus, at the start of every week I will send out a generic email requesting that if you would like to meet this week, please confirm so by the midnight prior to our next tentative session, and whether you would like to meet online or in-person. If I do not hear from you, I will assume that you are feeling stable and resourced and that we will not be meeting. If we are not scheduled to meet but you would like to request a session, please reply so and I will confirm my availability. If yes, I look forward to seeing you then as always. If no, sending best wishes for continued wellness and resourcing.

75-minute session

So that we do not feel rushed, I offer 75-minute sessions. We may not need all that time, but it is included in the fee.

Toolbox

If we work together, I will create a toolbox specific to you. Your toolbox will comprise resources and practices we may (or may not) have touched on in session, your own words of wisdom I may have captured and am reflecting back, quotes or poems I may have thought of or shared apropos of salient themes from the session, and/or other topical/peripheral therapeutic miscellany. I will update your toolbox after every session so that you have it as an onoing meta-resource.

Resource Friday

Every Friday I offer a resource, usually a practice, prompt, quote or poem―or all the above―encapsulating a theme common across different client sessions.

Hybrid practice

I see clients both online and in-person. My brick & mortar office is located at the top of the BART stairs in downtown Berkeley in the suite side of the Wells Fargo building. (Office details here.)
