Consultations are free and this is a 15-20 minute block of time where we will discuss your desired outcomes of therapy/coaching. Additionally, you will have time to ask me whatever questions you may have so that you can feel safe and comfortable to determine if you feel working with myself would be a good fit for you.

It all starts with a consultation, then if you determine you would like to move forward we will schedule a date for our first meeting. After that I will send out some paperwork for you to fill out and this will all need to be completed prior to our first session. Then we meet for our session for approximately 45-50 minutes, and after you get to decide if you would like to meet again for another session.

I get asked this a lot, and the answer is a resounding YES for two primary reasons. Firstly, Solution Focused Brief Therapy(SFBT) is an evidence based therapy style for creating change in people that they want to see. It has been researched across a lot of client needs and has been found to be transformative for clients. Secondly, SFBT is built on the premise of Hope. Research shows that what truly makes a difference in the amount of change a client experiences is through them believing that the therapist truly believes in their ability to achieve their outcomes. Let me tell you; if you are coming to therapy, I have nothing but belief that you can get what you want. I have zero doubt in you and when we talk, I will only talk to you in a way that shows your capability.

At the moment I am not accepting insurance, however I am able to provide a receipt called a “super bill” that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement purposes. Please consult with your insurance company for accurate and comprehensive information.

Therapy lasts as long as you wish to come back. At the end of each session I will ask if you want to set up another appointment and then we can schedule it.

Absolutely. Currently I am only taking on online (tele-health) clients. I use a secure platform for conducting online sessions to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of each client.

I am unable to prescribe medications. If you wish to seek pharmaceutical support, I suggest you reach out to you primary care doctor.

This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information. This notice of Privacy Practices describes how Chris may use and disclose your protected health information (PHI) to carry out treatment, payment or health care operations (TPO) and for other purposes that are permitted or required by law. It also describes your rights to access and control your protected health information. "Protected health information" is information about you, including demographic information, that may identify you and that is related to your past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition and related health care services. 

Uses and Disclosures of Protected Health Information 

Your protected health information may be used and disclosed by your therapist and others outside of our office that are involved in your care and treatment for the purpose of providing health care services to you, to pay your health care bills, to support the operation of the therapist's practice as necessary, and any other use required by law. 

Treatment: We may use and disclose your protected health information as necessary to provide, coordinate, or manage your health care and any related services. This includes the coordination of management of your health care with a third party. For example, we would disclose your protected health information, as necessary, to a home health agency that provides care to you; or your protected health information may be provided to a physician to whom you have referred to insure that the physician has the necessary information to diagnose or treat you. 

Payment: Your protected health information may be used, as needed, to obtain payment for your health care services. For example, obtaining approval for a hospital stay or a higher level of treatment may require that your relevant protected health information be disclosed to the health plan to obtain approval for admission. 

Healthcare Operations: Chris may use or disclose, as needed, your protected health information to support the business activities of your therapist's practice. These activities include, but are not limited to, quality assessment activities, employee review activities, training of therapists associated with this practice, licensing, marketing and fund raising activities, and conducting or arranging for other business activities. For example, we may call you by name in the waiting room when the therapist is ready to see you. We may use or disclose your protected health information, as necessary, to contact you to remind you of your appointment. We may use or disclose your protected health information in the following situations without your authorization: communicable diseases, abuse or neglect, food and drug administration requirements, legal proceedings, law enforcement, coroners, and if you present a threat to yourself or to others. 

Other Permitted and Required Uses and Disclosures will be made only with your consent, authorization and opportunity to object unless required by law. You may revoke this authorization at any time, in writing, except to the extent that your therapist or the therapist's practice has taken an action in reliance on the use or disclosure indicated in the authorization.

Your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you. When you must cancel, please give Chris at least 48-hours notice as he is rarely able to fill a canceled session on short notice.

If you are unable to provide at least 48-hours notice, you will be charged the full fee for your session at $175.00

My heartfelt goal is to help you, not to charge for late cancellations. The only exception to this cancellation policy is a “true emergency”. For purposes of this policy, some examples of true emergencies are car accidents, a death in the family, or extreme illness. The following are NOT considered emergencies, a child’s school or sports event, work issues, or canceled babysitters.
