Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions, answered honestly.

Everything you need to know before your first call — from how intensives work to what the process actually looks like for mothers with young children.
About Intensives
How is an intensive different from regular therapy?
Weekly therapy typically involves 50-minute sessions spread over months or years. Intensives compress this work dramatically — we meet for several concentrated hours over 1–4 days and achieve results that would otherwise take many months. For mothers who need clarity and healing now rather than eventually.

Intensives are offered in-person at my office at 2967 Bee Ridge Road, Sarasota, FL, and online via video for Florida residents. Occasionally sessions may occur at the client’s home. Out-of-state clients can access in-person intensive work through a retreat format during a visit to Sarasota.

Yes, absolutely. Many clients benefit significantly from combining modalities — for example, ART trauma work alongside Circle of Security parenting support, or psychedelic integration combined with a trauma processing intensive. I’ll recommend the combination that fits your specific needs during our consultation call.

No — and most of the mothers I work with come specifically because they haven’t been able to make a decision. The work is not about me directing your choices. It’s about gaining clarity so you can access your own wisdom. When “the noise” settles, most women already know what they need.
Practical and Logistics
Do you accept insurance?
Insurance is not accepted for trauma intensives or retreats. Payment plans are available upon request. Many clients find that the intensive and retreat formats are ultimately more cost-effective than weekly sessions.

Intensives are priced at $225 per hour with a 3-hour minimum for most formats. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy requires a minimum of 9 hours, with the prescriber consultation and medicine billed separately. Payment plans are available by request; full payment is due by Day 1 of the intensive or retreat.

We plan around your schedule and childcare needs. For in-person retreats, we schedule dates that work with your family calendar.

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking. The remaining balance is due on Day 1 of the intensive. Cancellations made within 2 weeks of the scheduled start date will be charged the full amount. By booking, you have reserved that block of time exclusively for your program.

Yes, payment plans are available upon request. Full payment is required by the first day of your intensive or retreat. Reach out and we’ll discuss what arrangement works for your situation.

About the Work
Will this work even if my situation is complicated?
While every situation is unique, many find that the therapeutic modalities used help them find clarity and insight into their situation.

Intensives consistently deliver results that would take many months of weekly therapy to achieve. When you factor in the total cost of 12+ months of weekly sessions, plus the ongoing cost of making major life decisions from a place of fear rather than clarity, the intensive format is frequently both more effective and more economical. But beyond cost: the clients I see most transformed are the ones who committed to doing concentrated, deep work rather than indefinitely delaying the breakthrough they needed.
