I appreciate the opportunity to assist you on your journey. This informed consent will give you information about my practice and our professional relationship.
CONFIDENTIALITY I regard the information you share with me with the greatest respect. I will maintain confidentiality and privacy of your somatic therapy and my notes unless it is mandated by a court of law or if you have shared that you have thoughts of harming yourself or others.
SCOPE OF PRACTICE AND PROCESS OF THERAPY I work as a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and Brainspotting Practitioner. I studied somatic therapy at the Somatic Education Trauma Institute, and Brainspotting with several trainers. Although my scope of practice works with trauma symptom resolution, I am not a psychotherapist. My main goal is nervous system regulation.
My focus is to assist you to come home to your most authentic self. We will be working with your nervous system, beliefs, emotions, movements, imagination and patterns of behavior. It is my joy to assist you to discover what brings you alive and to help you release what has been hindering your innate freedom.
All therapeutic work, including somatic therapy, inter-personal work, movement, body awareness, somatic exercises, etc. is at a professional level.
We will work together toward the goals that we create together. In addition to the work we do together at my office, I may suggest things for you to do between sessions.
If either you or I feel your therapy with me is completed, that you aren’t sufficiently benefiting from treatment or that you need a different level of care, I have an ethical duty to communicate this as clearly as possible and discuss ending your treatment. I am not trained to work with Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder or Dissociative Identity Disorder and would not ethically be able to work with someone with any of those diagnosis.
INSURANCE I don't participate with insurance companies. I can provide an invoice.
PAYMENT Payment is due at each session by cash, check, Zelle or Venmo (@wisdomadventures).
Rates/Late Cancellation/Missed Appointment A 24-hour cancellation policy applies to all sessions. My rates are listed on the rates tab.
