Frequently Asked Questions
Concierge Couple Therapy is subscription based couple therapy providing expanded services beyond traditional office based therapy.
Advantages include the convenience of house call sessions to your home or other agreed to location, true privacy (your anonymity and health are protected from public waiting areas), increased scheduling flexibility and availability, Zoom/phone coaching in-between sessions, and options for Urgent Care when you need an appointment sooner than scheduled.
Couple therapy sessions may be in your home or at another agreed to location. You agree to provide a comfortable indoor area or room for house call sessions that is private, quiet, without interruption or disturbance, can easily accommodate three people, and from where no one may hear your voices or the contents of your session outside of that space. A home living room, for example, may be perfect as long as no one else is at home or able to overhear the session. An office or conference room space may work well too. Your privacy is paramount and I will stop a session if I have privacy concerns.
Prior to the pandemic I began receiving inquiries from couples desiring relationship support that better protects their privacy. With the pandemic more people have health concerns about exposure to public places. The pandemic also made clear to me that online couple therapy can diminish what is dynamic and useful about meeting with couples in person. Providing services that better meet clients' needs can improve outcomes.
Office based counseling sessions typically last 50 minutes to an hour. My experience is that 90 minute sessions are conducive to couples more easily transitioning into each session and exploring their needs fully.
To achieve your therapy goals requires commitment to your relationship. One way to demonstrate and practice your commitment is through frequent sessions which allow your therapist to repeatedly witness your relationship patterns, interrupt harmful patterns, and encourage helpful ones. Meeting weekly encourages a depth of familiarity and trust between you and your partner and between you as a couple and your therapist. It's safe and compassionate relationships that facilitate the changes you desire.
Because Concierge Couple Therapy is a subscription service it is not covered by medical insurance.
I typically travel to client couples within a 20 mile radius of downtown Portland, Oregon and I am only licensed to see clients who are physically in Oregon at the time of service. I am open to negotiating service distances greater than this but only in the State of Oregon at this time. In the future I may have license privileges in the State of Washington.
