Mothers Have Needs Too!

1. You'll reach my voicemail. I check my voicemail frequently, throughout the day, and generally will be able to return your call the same business day.
2. At that time, I will call you back and if needed, we can arrange a time to discuss your concerns. That's when I'll provide an assessment. This is a free 20 minute phone consultation. If counseling is appropriate for you, and you feel good about the connection we've made, we'll schedule an appointment for our first session together.

This can vary, and is something we can decide on together. My intention is to help people get what they need from therapy as quickly as their circumstances allow. My experience is that it often takes meeting together at least once a week for 4 weeks just to get to know each other.  After that, you might start to feel better by the 6-8th session and then we can discuss whether it makes sense for you to try meeting every other week until eventually, you are complete and ready to end therapy. Some people like to continue longer than that and find that therapy is no longer a luxury, but a necessity they won't do without.

What are the costs?
I have a standard fee and I also have a sliding scale. If I have the openings in my practice, I won't turn any mother away for reasons of the fee alone.  This is something we can talk about more during your free phone session. Please call or email me to discuss. (831)425-4475 or aworkofheart@att.net

How is payment made?
You can pay for your session, up to one hour in advance, through PayPal. If needed, I will be happy to help you through this simple process. It is highly secure, and PayPal allows you to use most major credit cards.  You can go to your PayPal account and use the send money link to send money to my email address: aworkofheart@att.net
