Minneapolis, and by video across Minnesota
The waiting list is about seven weeks. I would rather you knew that first.
It probably took you a while to get as far as reading this page. It would be a poor start to find out about the wait after writing, so it is the first sentence — along with the numbers below, which are staffed tonight in a way I am not.
If tonight is bad, this practice is the wrong door
I am one therapist with a waiting list. If you are in crisis or somebody is at risk right now, these are staffed tonight and I am not.
- 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
- Call or text 988Any time, any day, free. Trained people, not a recording.
- Crisis Text Line
- Text HOME to 741741If talking out loud is not possible tonight.
- Emergency services
- 911If somebody is in immediate physical danger.
Waiting list
About 7 weeks
Updated

Hours that open
Tuesday mornings and Thursday evenings
Seven weeks is the real number rather than a comfortable one. It moves in both directions and I update it when it does.
What I work with
- Anxiety that has stopped being background noise
- Grief, including the kind that arrived years late
- Burnout, and the version of it that looks like not caring
- The long tail of a difficult childhood
- Relationships that keep going the same way
- Life that has changed shape — a diagnosis, a divorce, a redundancy
And what I do not
- Crisis and immediate risk
- One therapist with a diary is the wrong resource. The numbers at the top of every page are the right one.
- Couples and family therapy
- A different training and a different room. I will give you two names.
- Children and under-eighteens
- Adults only. Again, I know who to send you to.
- Formal assessments and diagnoses
- For ADHD, autism, or anything a court or an insurer needs. That is assessment work rather than therapy.
- Medication
- I am not a prescriber. Where medication seems worth exploring I will say so and work alongside whoever prescribes.
What it costs
$150 a session, and $70 – $120 on the sliding scale — four places, held for people for whom the full fee is the reason they would not come. Two are currently taken.
- Fifty-minute sessionWeekly to begin with. Most people move to fortnightly at some point, and some do not.
- $150
- Sliding scale placeFour places, held for people for whom the full fee is the reason they would not come. Two are taken.
- $70 – $120
- First consultation callTwenty minutes on the phone, before anything is booked, to work out whether I am the right person.
- Free
- Late cancellationUnder 48 hours. The hour is held for you and cannot be filled, which is the entire reason for the policy.
- Full fee
- LettersFor an employer or a school where it is appropriate. I will say when I do not think a letter helps.
- $90
Or ring (612) 555-0127. It goes to voicemail during sessions, which is most of the day.
