New Client Protocol
Suggested New Client Protocol
With respect to your time and budget, there is a sequence of treatment that I recommend to help both of us start off on the right foot and build early momentum in your healing process. I suggest a series of at least three appointments spaced a week or less apart. It’s best to book all three sessions at once in advance as there is often a wait to get into the schedule, and having the intro series in place assures continuity of treatment for at least the first few weeks.
The first appointment will be 90 minutes and the introduction cost is $150. I accept cash, check or Venmo. The first session will be a 30minute evaluation and then 60 minutes of treatment.
The second appointment will be one hour (140$ ) a week or so after the first one. It will consist of a brief update about your experience since our last session ( what changed, what didn’t, what’s new). Then an hour of hands on treatment.
The third session, a week later, is the same length and sequence as the second.
Clients can usually tell me in one or two sessions of therapy if it resonates and/or is creating a positive change. If at anytime you decide that MFR is not for you.. you are welcome to cancel that appointment and any subsequent sessions without cost or obligation. It is of the upmost importance to me that we build and maintain a relationship of honesty and trust so true healing can occur. I do not take anything personally!
After the initial series the timing of future sessions becomes apparent. Often clients will continue weekly or biweekly, especially those with chronic issues. No scheduling protocol needs to be followed if you are an existing client. Ultimately my goal is to get you back in balance and instruct you how to maintain it on your own using increased self -awareness and self- care techniques. I’m always happy to step back in, if a new issue arises.
This protocol is a successful guideline, not a mandate. I am happy to tailor your sessions and timing to fit your needs best I can. If this sounds acceptable and appropriate, please contact me to schedule your introductory series via phone or email.
