About

Counseling

Note: Right now I am working Telehealth only.

Counseling & Psychotherapy - a clinical process meant to help folks seek evaluation, diagnosis or treatment for mental health, emotional or interpersonal issues. The focus here is to develop deep insight into the nature of the issues, create a framework for understanding them, and then learn tools to manage or heal them.

Examples:

A couple is experiencing sexual difficulties; we meet once per week to evaluate the issues and develop a plan to address the issues together.

An individual is experiencing anxiety and depression related to challenges working out feelings of job burnout. I help by assessing the anxiety and depression, helping them develop a treatment plan, and help them additionally to work on their goals concerning career change.

An Individual is looking for psychological support ahead of bariatric surgery. Together we explore their emotional needs, especially as related to food, and create a treatment/support plan.

60 minute sessions for Individuals -

$125-150, sliding scale

90 minute sessions for Couples/Groups-

$160-$190, sliding scale

*Please note I do not accept Insurance at this time.

Consulting

A service for agencies, schools, businesses, houses of worship and other organizations. Please contact me for current rates.

Note: I can provide this in-person or remotely.

I've enjoyed my many years' experience conducting

staff training, policy evaluation, policy writing,

social media content creation, feature article writing, public speaking, grants & special projects advising. If your organization has needs regarding how to address topics related to Human Sexuality, Healthy Social Relationships, LGBTQIA2S+ needs, Religion & Sexuality, Disability & Sexuality or other related needs, contact me to serve as a consultant to help you!

Example:

Your agency has no--or very outdated--policies about Sexual Rights. As a consultant I can review your current policies and draft updated versions in collaboration with your staff, and in line with your agency mission.

Coaching
Classes

See Basic Rates for Each Service Below.

Custom rates may need to be discussed for especially unique custom support,

for example if special materials or extended session lengths are required.

Note: At this time Coaching & Classes will generally be provided via Telehealth only.

I offer Coaching Classes, either 1:1 individually or for couples/groups. This service is for personalized learning: I will design a curriculum unique to each individual client, in order to assist folks with their needs and goals related to:

General Life Skills, Social Skills, Dating, Relationships, Sexuality and Sexual Health.

Coaching and Classes differ from Counseling. Here, in a teacher-coach role, I'll provide the educational and emotional support you need in the present to achieve your future goals concerning these very important & sensitive areas of life!

The Coaching Classes Service is meant for folks aged 16+, tailored to your personal

Developmental needs and Life phase. Parents with younger children may also hire me to create a program to help teach their adolescent age 10+ about important developmental sexual and biological topics, like puberty.

Especially good for:

Adults looking for more success with dating and relationships
Young adults transitioning from high school & college into adulthood looking for help with Dating, Sexuality and Social Skills.
Folks who need sex education from a discreet and safe source
Folks exploring their sexual and/or gender identity
Adults looking to understand and explore sexual interests new to them in a safe context (e.g. how to safely practice BDSM)
Really, anyone looking for a coach and teacher-type to help them develop strategies and skills for increased safety, success and happiness in Social and/or Sexual Life.

Coaching Classes Options:

All options typically occur at 60-minute sessions, once per week.

Ongoing. Rates: $125-$150/hr, sliding scale

Individualized Coaching/Classes that support you with your complete set of social/sexual needs & goals. We start by discussing your needs and goals, and I design ways to support you, including lessons, in vivo practice, and motivational activities. As you achieve your goals, or as-needed based on what seems immediately needed that week, we work on your next emerging need.

Example: A client's first goal is to learn healthy dating skills. We discuss their challenges: they've never had anyone teach them how--and why--to date. I might create a special series of coaching classes based on their unique needs that includes:

Week 1 - Evaluation of Situation and Creation of Initial Goals

Week 2 - Basic dating skills for success:

Why do you want to date? Is it for you?

What do you wish to get out of the dating experience?

Myths, facts, blocking beliefs

Differences between Love & Sex

Week 3 - Things You Should Do to Support Dating Success: Hygiene

Week 4: Things You Should Do to Support Dating Success: How to Cope with Rejection, Impatience, Disappointment, Frustration

Week 5: Things You Should Do to Support Dating Success: How to Talk to People, Ask for a Date, and Regulate your feelings appropriately

...And so forth, each week another lesson tailored to their needs & goals.

If they achieve their goal, a new one emerges:

"I finally found a Romanic Partner now, Kate... but how do I stay in a healthy long term relationship?"

From here, the cycle continues: I would create a new personalized learning plan in order to support you. The Ongoing option can be terminated any time, and is often perfect for those who would like support for whatever their goals may be, for as long as they need.

Additional Options:

Take a Limited 6-Week Coaching Class

with me on a specific topic related to Dating, Social Skills, Life Skills or Sexual Health.

Can be for Individuals or Groups.

Pick a popular topic from below or design-your-own with me.

Base Rate: $850 for 1 person to take the basic sequence. If you are a couple or group, please contact me to discuss the context of the request, and we can see if a different rate is needed.
