Intuitive Guidance
Instead of recognizing a need for clinical mental health services, you might be seeking guidance in discerning your goals and connecting these to your deeper values and their inherent meanings in your life. An intuitive guidance (or "spiritual coaching") relationship offers support in deciding which path to take, and provides guidance in honoring your unique strengths and callings through an exploration and activation of your internal and external resources.
While engaging with me as a guide, I utilize tangible and intangible resources, including the expressive arts, intuitive arts, and, through our exploration, the potential inclusion of those closest to you during select sessions.
Since intuitive guidance is outside the scope of mainstream psychotherapy practice, a guiding or coaching relationship involves different standards and documentation. Once we decide to begin a guidance relationship, I will not be able to offer myself to you for clinical services as well. This would constitute a "dual relationship," which is unethical for me to provide. While there are aspects of clinical practice that can include coaching, the reverse is not the case.
*Guidance or Coaching does not include assessment, diagnosis, or treatment of mental health conditions, issues, or concerns. Insurance will not cover this type of service, but my rates are reasonable and I am glad to offer a sliding scale based on proof of income.
