Women Coping with Herpes 1:1 services
You have received a diagnosis of Herpes. You are overwhelmed, lost, and don’t know what to do. You need to talk to someone to get a plan of action.
In one 50-minute session, you will:
-Get all of your feelings out and have someone listen to you
-Identify the immediate issues/pieces you need to deal with or get more information about
-Learn more about how to live with Herpes
In 3, 50-minute sessions, you will:
All of the above AND
-Identify when to disclose to someone you’re dating and how
-Imagine what your life looks like now that you have Herpes
-Identify outbreak triggers and how to track them
-Connect with resources to help you
-Learn how you will move forward with Herpes and maybe even (GASP) learn how to make it work for you
-Find more long-term support if you need it
So, how much is this?
Basically it’s $300 per 50 minute session, however you get a $100 discount if you buy a package of 3 (3 sessions for $1100).
I am a therapist, but these are NOT therapy sessions. I know that sometimes people just need a few sessions to be able to figure out how to move forward and make a plan.
FAQ:
Q: Who is the 1 session option right for?
A: Someone newly diagnosed that left the doctor or urgent care feeling completely lost and blindsided by their diagnosis. The doctor was not able to spend the time you needed to process.
Q: Who is the 3 session package right for?
A: The 3 session package is right for someone who needs immediate support (what is covered in one session package) and wants help with figuring out how to date with Herpes, talk to their partner(s) or the person that gave it to them. They need help in envisioning and navigating life after Herpes, disclosure, and outbreaks. They need help getting clear on what they want and how to get it and identify issues that need more exploration. Identifying resources available to them and finding support. We might have time to use some worksheets that you will take with you after the sessions to help guide you.
Q: Who would not be a good match for either package?
A: Anyone who feels like they might harm themselves or have a plan to. You should go immediately to the emergency room. You do not need these sessions, you need immediate help. This world needs you, you need to access the help you need RIGHT NOW.
Q: I think I need therapy, are these sessions right for me?
A; No, these sessions are more action oriented, not therapy. We are not digging deep into your earlier life or mental health issues. Unfortunately there are not a lot of therapists who specialize in working with women coping with Herpes. I am able to provide people in New York, Texas, Connecticut, and Wisconsin, where I hold licenses to provide therapy only. I will need to talk to you first to see if working together is a good fit. Contact me for more information.
Q: Do I need to see you in person?
A: No, all of these services are provided virtually via video.
Q: Do I get my money back if I’m not happy with the session/s?
A: Because I provide the service and in some cases, material, already I am not able to refund for services I’ve provided. I would encourage you to talk to me about what is not working and there’s always a solution. In my 6 years of business and over 25 years in the field, I’ve never had anyone request a refund because they weren’t happy. I’m happy to work with you.
