One-Time Healing Sessions.

Technically, no, you can’t. (Though you can book a One-time healing session). 

When it comes to therapy, many jurisdictions require therapists to complete an initial assessment and create a treatment plan before getting down to work. It’s a bit like hiring a home organizer who starts by pulling everything out of your cupboards to see what’s there and then figures out what stays, what needs to be updated, and what needs to be stored in a new place. Over several sessions, it’s a truly helpful process. But if you decide after that first visit that you don't want to continue, you're left staring at a major mess.

No therapist wants that for you. Which is why they usually won’t agree to see a new client just once.

That’s why I created One-time healing sessions. We’re not unpacking your entire life. We’re focusing on ONE issue, ONE relationship, or ONE repeating pattern. 

It won’t change the entire situation. But it will change how it sits in your nervous system. And you’ll leave with more clarity, peace and feeling a lot more grounded than you were when you came in. 

And if you want another one? Just hop on the calendar and book yourself in.

When you book a session, you'll receive a short intake form asking what you'd like to focus on and what you'd like to be different as a result of our time together. 

Before we meet, I'll spend some time with what you've written, feel into the energy of your situation, and come up with some thoughts on how best to address what’s happening. When we connect, we’ll spend a few minutes honing down the issue and then we get to work, using all the tools and experience I have in my bag. 

Throughout the session I'll check in with how you're feeling compared to when we started. At the end, we do a closing procedure to acknowledge the movement that's occurred, and I'll send you off with some simple integration instructions. 

A couple of days later, I'll ask you to check in and let me know how you're doing.

If anything needs tidying up, I've got you.

You can pay for a One-time healing session. And yes, I know that might sound like splitting hairs, but there's actually a real difference. A therapy session is typically part of a sequence: an initial assessment followed by a treatment plan followed by regular sessions to work through it. Even though you pay for each session individually, the expectation is that you're signing up for an ongoing process. Most therapists won't see you just once, and if they do, that first session is almost entirely taken up by paperwork and history-taking. 

A One-time healing session is designed differently. You come, we work on one specific thing, get as much resolution as we can in the time, and off you go. No strings, no ongoing commitment, no pressure to book another session unless you want to.

Honestly, you can do anything just once. Nobody's going to drag you back if you don't want to go. But traditional therapy is a process that starts with a full assessment and a plan (and in some jurisdictions, a formal diagnosis), which means that one session probably won't yield the change you're looking for.

A One-time healing session is designed to be a quicker, easier, more accessible alternative to all of that: a single session with just you, me, and the one thing you want help with right now. We may not get to every root of it in 55 minutes, but you will leave feeling less activated, more hopeful, more competent, and with a whole lot more compassion for yourself than you had when you came in.

Honestly? Yes. Not in a 'we fixed everything' way, but in a 'something real just moved' way. We skip the preamble and get straight to work. Will we resolve everything in 55 minutes? Not always. But you will leave feeling different than you came in. And for a lot of people, that's exactly enough to get unstuck.

It really depends: on the issues you're struggling with, how much therapy or coaching you've done before, what else is going on in your life, and perhaps most importantly, the relationship you have with your therapist. 

Because all of those variables can make it hard to know where to start, I offer a couple of options:

• A One-time healing session addresses one specific issue in one contained session, with no assessment upfront and no expectation that you’ll return unless you'd like to. If you want something more thorough.
• Therapeutic Coaching (a service that sits in the space between therapy and coaching) starts with a deep-dive discovery session, followed by a personalized healing plan and regular sessions to work through it together. 

Not sure which is right for you? Start with a One-time healing session and we'll take it from there.

One-time healing sessions and regular therapeutic coaching sessions are 55 minutes. 

Discovery sessions and Healing the Birth Story sessions are 90 minutes. 

All sessions are held online through a secure videoconferencing link, making them accessible no matter where you are in the world. 

No commute, no waiting room, and no holding it together on the drive home afterward. Just find a private, comfortable space where you won't be interrupted and we're good to go. And, in my experience, the work is even more powerful online than it is in person.
