Not everyone has the financial means to benefit from ongoing concierge therapy or teletherapy. As an effort to increase accessibility to services, I provide consultation services. Time-limited and short-term consultations are available in person to those on the Westside of Los Angeles and via teletherapy throughout California.
What’s the difference between consultations and therapy?
Consultations
- Focused more on problem-solving and taking action (more akin to “coaching” or “life coaching”)
- Appropriate for specific, less complex, time-bound issues
- Doesn’t address deeper issues that may continue to cause ongoing struggles
- Financially more accessible because of it’s time-limited and short-term nature
- Can be completed in one intensive, longer session or over the course of several one-hour sessions
Therapy
- A combination of exploration, reflection, problem-solving, and action (blends skill-building and coaching with talk therapy)
- More appropriate for long-standing, complex issues
- Addresses deeper, underlying issues to enact long-lasting change
- More growth-oriented process
- Typically a 6-18 month investment
Example of common issues that benefit from short-term consultation are:
- The transition to college
- Productive gap year plans
- The transition from college to the workplace or “real world”
- Creation of living agreements for emerging and young adults living at home
- Development of electronics use/screen-time plans
- Preparation for job interviews
- Establish a plan to promote work-life balance and prevent burnout
- Building a passion-driven business that fits with your life
