Consultation
All consults (phone or video) are scheduled for 20 minutes and are a chance for you to learn more about Kristel and her counseling style. Basically, you are seeing if Kristel is a good fit for what you are looking for in a therapist. If not, she will try to connect you with other therapists in the community who may be a better match.
$135
per Therapy session
After meeting for the consultation, Kristel and you will find a good weekly or biweekly time to meet for regular therapy sessions.
Benefits of Telehealth
Kristel is currently offering telehealth, remote services through a secure, online platform which has the following benefits:
No transportation required
Stay in the comfort of your own home with familiar surroundings and pets
Work around a busy job or school schedule
Great option if you live in an area that does not have many local mental health professionals
Art therapy can be done at home (minimal materials are needed)
When deciding if Telehealth is a right fit for you, ask yourself:
Do I have a private place with access to the internet or phone service?
Do I feel I may need more support than regularly scheduled therapy session may provide?
If you feel you may need more support, then local options may be a better fit for your needs at this time. Otherwise, telehealth is a convenient, effective, and private way to experience art therapy and counseling.
