Individual
Counseling
Individual Counseling Sessions (one hour) $75.00
(sliding scale available to $50.00)
I
offer individual therapy and supportive counseling for
individuals facing life transitions, and for those who
are dealing with chronic or life threatening medical
issues. I am a licensed therapist and mental health nurse
practitioner with diverse background training. I spent
many years working with people dealing with a
cancer diagnosis, and was the director and developer
of a psychosocial oncology department back on the east
coast. I spoke and wrote about cancer survivorship and
designed and facilitated groups addressing the loss
and grief associated with illness. It was this work
which deepened my appreciation for the importance of relationships,
being fully present, and prioritizing what is truly of
value.
Additional
trainings have included a deepening understanding of
the impact of culture on individuals and
families, and the interrelationship between our
physical environment and our emotional well-being. My
Shamanic training has deepened my appreciation for the
importance of rituals, intuitive knowing, spiritual
practice, and the interconnectedness of all beings,
while my experience with process painting and Buddhism
have both deepened my awareness of the ways that
stories, judgments, and beliefs influence my
well
being. Both of these, in addition to my own work
facing chronic health issues, have deepened my comfort with
not knowing, allowing, trusting, and being as fully
present in
each moment as possible.
I
integrate numerous trainings into my work with
clients, incorporating a body centered focusing
approach, with insight and awareness training,
journaling, creativity, and a present focus
orientation. I
have chosen to work outside of the healthcare
insurance system so offer a reduced rate for
individual sessions.
My
rate per session is 75.00.
Individual Painting Sessions: Opportunities
for individual painting sessions will provide more individual
attention to one's personal unfolding.
Sessions are one and a half hours and will provide for
teaching, and both time to paint and time to
individually process and integrate your experience.
The cost of
an individual session is $95.00
which includes materials. At least one
follow-up
session is recommended which will provide time
mostly for painting and integration time.
Ongoing individual sessions are available.
