Frequently Asked Questions

Operationally, "radical" looks like intentionally reaching to the reality of the relationship for immediate and lasting, positive transformation and courageously getting down to the nuts and bolts of reckoning with, repairing and reconciling what's under the hood.

"Right Relationship" is an unmistakable sense of belonging in a mutually-supportive community, rooted in verifiable truth and timeless wisdom, adapting and growing together with optimal, organic and organizational unity and balance. We start with acknowledging and celebrating our essential dignity and ingenuity, and then focus on empathetically extending those qualities in all our relationships near and far, past, present and future.

I agree to maintain the ethics and standards of behavior set by the International Coach Federation (ICF) regarding, for example, confidentiality and dual relationships. Coaches are not authorized to assess and diagnose for medical or mental disorders, we are not legally required to keep client chart notes. Our integrative coaching model is client-centered, trauma-sensitive, resilience-focused, and strengths-based-- grounded in the present moment and moving forward into the client's envisioned future. In contrast, many counseling/therapy approaches often focus on analyzing and processing past painful events indefinitely.

"Learning How to Ride a Bike" Metaphor

Counselor/Therapist:  Would have you approach the bike, ask how that feels and ask what prior associations do you have with the bike.

Consultant: Would ride the bike, write "how to" instructions and hand those to you.

Coach: Would say, "Okay, get on the bike and I'll walk along beside you step-by-step until you can do it on your own."

I offer a free 30-minute Chemistry Session to see if we're a good match. An initial New Client "Discovery" session is 90 minutes long, then the remaining 11 coaching sessions are 55 minutes long. A typical program cycle includes 12 sessions, twice per month, over the course of 6 months.

Requests for custom sessions and cycles can be evaluated, discussed and co-designed based on the variables of the puzzle at hand.

I welcome Accountability Champion Check-ins and requests for scaffolding support between sessions to support client goals!

I am happy to discuss how to partner with other health care professionals, education consultants, social workers, case managers, parole officers and/or 12-step sponsors who are working together to optimize your care.

Our pricing scale is determined by the particulars  of each unique client case discussed in the 30-minute free Chemistry Session.

For example, our lowest-acuity (preventative) private individual and couples coaching pricing is $150 per session and our highest-acuity (critical) private individual and couples coaching pricing is $325 per session structured as a 12-session, 6-month program cycle.  Please note: Polyamorous polycules are welcome and assessed as a group relationship for our programs (see below).

I assess the options and acuity for each group and executive coaching, conflict-resolution and education booking on a case-by-case basis, dependent on the values, motivation, mobilization, time-line and desired outcomes of each organizational ecosystem. For example, a standard-acuity coaching and/or conflict resolution program for a group/organization of 6 may warrant a different pricing from high-acuity executive coaching and/or conflict resolution for a group/organization of 20+.

Package discounts are available. I am happy to consider accessibility discounts (sliding scale and pro bono options) with proof of income provided.

I will donate at least 20% of proceeds to the non-profit Community Involvement Partners shown on the "About Us" page.

The vision of offering confidential, low-cost, private community spaces of support to RRR clients is coming together. Stay tuned for more on those options for additional connection circles between formal sessions!

No standard policy coverage known at this time. Yes, RRR programs often qualify as a business tax write-off and are an allowable expenditure of some Health Saving Account (HSA) funds. Also some insurance plans will decrease your mental health premium that would off-set the cost of our programs.
